This one went unanswered for some reason@DontTalkDT is it possible to use the planet shot that is closer to the pov to find the size of the country (grey line) and not the map?

Shit shit shit that image is stretched because I used PrntScrn instead of the built-in screenshot of my video viewer, the actual resolution of the movie is 1920x1036 and not 1920x1080p. I'll upload the correct picture now. ****.Ok, so I watch that scene frame-by-frame a bunch of times now (that's why this took so long). There is a little bay there that starts mixing with the clouds as the planet turns, creating whiteish-blue pixels. That makes it really hard to tell where exactly the ocean ends, but I think I got it more or less correct now. If I had that one second of the full HD movie I could tell with more certainty. Anyway, using the pic KLOL send I then get the following:
green line = planet diameter = 616px = 12742 km
1 px = 20.6850649350649351 km
yellow line = 19 px = 393.0162337662337669 km
Honestly, I kinda don't like how a pixel more or less makes 21km difference. I think this distance is probably safe, though.
I also asked this like twice :/This one went unanswered for some reason

This is why you're ranked #3 on the tier list, fodder.
Somehow thought I answered that already. Problem is that said part of the country is covered by clouds making it impossible to accurately scale. We would have to guess where the borders are, which I would rather avoid.This one went unanswered for some reason
As said, the clouds and the ocean really blur together in that scene, making it seem like some of the ocean is cloud IMO. If you can give me that small bit of video footage of the planet turning I can track it frame by frame in max resolution to get it right for sure.IDK, that yellow line seems a bit too small for my taste and doesn't adequately go beyond the end of the clouds.
Pretty sure it would get copystriked immediately or its quality would get butchered due to compression but I can give you the timeframe of the exact scene.Somehow thought I answered that already.

Yeah uh, about that...Well, I can't find it in that high quality and don't feel like spending money on it, so let's just go with your scaling then.
Planet image:
Green line = 590px = 12742 km
Red line = 20px = 431.932203389830508km
Map image:
Red line = 96.6px = 431.932203389830508km
Grey line = 40.85px = 182.65 km
Pretty sure the coast is where the clouds meet the ocean (Where I drew the 28px line myself), the clouds are seen lining up a few seconds back where the planet wasn't in full view but the country itself was. You know, in the shot that Jvando originally took where the planet wasn't in full view but the country itself was?sigh
Nah, that line now ends in the middle of the ocean, when it should end at the coast.
21.6px and that is a high end
I'm saying that where I point with my yellow arrow, your line doesn't reach there fully (As in, your line doesn't reach the top fully where the clouds meet the ocean which is where the true end of the country is), but my line does.Not sure what you're trying to tell me there.
We are in agreement that where you point the yellow arrow is not where our line ends, right? That's further left in that bay.
Huh. Weird. Could have sworn that the area where your yellow line fades was green land, the ocean is much darker looking there compared to the land itself.Yeah, gotta disagree with that. Look what happens when one overlays your scaling with the same picture without the scaling and fiddles with the transparency a bit:
Those pixels at the front are definitely over area below which is already deep blue ocean. The line must be by that part shorter, which mine is.
That's your yellow line, not mine.
I don't think it's land. At least it doesn't look like that to me. Honestly, if there is debate over whether that is land or not I would go for the low end.
(Unless you want to precisely track the development of the coast frame by frame and do some editing to show it. I would do it, but... I don't have the HD footage)
Maybe it's because your footage isn't HD that you got a different impression.I mean, I did the same and while my footage isn't as HD I got a different impression.
So idk, you gotta show your work somehow since the image alone doesn't show that being land.
I go by your pictures on that, though. Unless you mean the frame by frame stuff, in which case, maybe? Maybe not? There's somewhat of a problem with claims that most people can't check.Maybe it's because your footage isn't HD that you got a different impression.
Not like you need every frame. Just enough to show you're correct. I did a calc with 28 slightly edited screenshots before just to upgrade a character from subsonic to supersonic lolAlso it's 10 whole seconds of the planet being shown on the movie, it'd be a shit-ton of work to screen-shot every single frame precisely.
Yeah I was referring to the frame-by-frame stuff.I go by your pictures on that, though. Unless you mean the frame by frame stuff, in which case, maybe? Maybe not? There's somewhat of a problem with claims that most people can't check.
nah we're just discussing on the map stuff.Wait have we even found a different calc?
What's left to discuss? This seems to be dragged out far longer than it needs to be.nah we're just discussing on the map stuff.
What do we even have left?Can we please finish this up
