Hi Henry,
To add some info to your post. All the launches were filmed actually using 35mm film not video maybe even 65mm film, and because the cameras used were run at 500fps as you say the cameras were arranged in a turret of four each where a left hand and right hand camera side by side mounted upside down with another two mounted on top. Each camera had 1000 ft of film and each was synced to ramp up as the previous ran out. At 500fps the 16000 frames of a load would only last 30 secs., so usually several turrets of four cameras were used to record the entire launch.
Cheers Rob
