The author of this book is a cinematographer L. Konovalov, who knows very well how combined shooting is done and what film materials are used for it. For 30 years he has been lecturing at film institutes and film schools (VGIK, Moscow School of Cinema, Ladder film school). Having watched almost all the "lunar" photos (and there are several thousand of them) and dozens of hours of "lunar" videos posted on NASA's official website, the cameraman came to the conclusion that these shootings do not differ in technique from Hollywood films of the 60-70s of the last century on space subjects. In the middle plans are filmed actors, and in the general and distant plans, where it is necessary to show the vast lunar landscapes, instead of astronauts used dolls (height of about 25-30 cm) and models of the lunar module (miniatures) on a scale of 1: 6 to 1: 10. The lunar mountains in many pictures are a projection of a diapositive on a movie screen behind the astronaut's back. From the book you will learn a lot of unexpected and even sometimes shocking information about the fact that the takeoff from the Moon was filmed with an inverted movie camera and the lunar module did not actually take off, but its reduced copy fell down from the ceiling of the pavilion. And that no special compact "lunar" TV cameras existed at all. And that the astronaut in weightlessness was portrayed by an actor suspended on a cable in the pavilion.
The book is mainly devoted to the trip to the Moon (1969-1972), but the scope of the study is much broader: it begins with the flights of the single-seat Mercury (1961), the two-seat Gemini, and ends with the Perseverance rover to Mars (2021).
