YouTube recommended me a video claiming the moon landing was filmed in Arizona

I clicked on it thinking it was a joke, but the guy had a whole breakdown of rock formations matching a desert near Flagstaff. Never realized how many people actually buy into that theory until I saw the comments section. Anyone else get weirdly specific conspiracy content shoved at them?

Figured most of that was just bad lighting and camera tricks from the 60s.

Bad lighting and camera tricks from the 60s" - yeah, that's what most people think until they actually try shooting in those conditions. @troykim, grab a cheap reflector and bounce some natural light next time you're in a dim room. You'll see how much of that "movie magic" was just knowing how to work with what you had.
