I filmed it using High Definition on a stationary tripod. Every ten minutes or so I would adjust the position of the camera so the Moon was at the bottom of the picture.

After capturing the footage to my PC, I blew the picture up by 200% in Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. This brings it down to about DVD quality from High Definition. It also allows me to move the image as its playing so as to make the Moon appear stationary. The parts where I moved the camera were edited out. There is also a tape change in there as well.

Near the end of the video, some of you may notice lens flares making their way across the screen. That gives away the illusion of tracking and shows that the camera was in a stationary position as the moving Moonlight his the lens.

Apart from making the picture bigger, moving it to simulate tracking, speeding it up and cutting the shaky bits out, there are no other effects on the video.

I've made the Google video downloadable, so feel free to grab a copy of it for yourself. All I ask is that nobody re-edits it. Google Video does damage the quality of the video pretty badly, so I'd be happy to upload a copy of the full quality mpeg version to this site if someone will tell me how?
