The scenes provided by this film
alternate between fixed and moving camera positions relative
to the Skylab spacecraft. These scenes provide the viewer a
contrast between several relative frames available daily to
members of the workshop crew.
A. Skylab's Long Axis SCENE 1: Fixed Camera - Allan Bean
twists freely through the forward dome hatch of the orbital
workshop's forward compartment.
SCENE 2: Fixed Camera - Joe Kerwin floats effortlessly from
the forward dome toward the camera located in the lower
hatch of the forward compartment.
SCENE 3: Moving Camera - The camera is held by a moving
astronaut who starts in the forward compartment and moves
slowly through the forward hatch, into the airlock module
(DARK), and into the multiple docking adapter.
B. Skylab's Forward Compartment
SCENE 1: Rest Camera - The astronaut moves himself through
the forward compartment with an experimental unit called the
Astronaut Maneuvering Unit (AMU).
SCENE 2: Moving Camera - The astronaut moves about the
forward compartment and holds a camera fixed in his
reference frame showing his feet near the bottom of the
picture.
C. Skylab's Stowage Ring (25 stowage lockers arranged in
a circular configuration). SCENE 1: Rest Camera Astronauts
Weitz, Conrad, and Kerwin (left to right) gain the speed
necessary to run around the inside of the locker
arrangement.
SCENE 2: Moving Camera - The running astronaut carries the
camera as he makes several revolutions around the foot
locker arrangement.
SCENE 3: Moving Camera - The rotating camera tracks
