I’m here to answer the questions that you didn’t even know about. In this case, it’s an estimation of the depth of water in Mandalorian Season 3, Episode 2: The Mines of Mandalore. SPOILERS AHEAD. But seriously, if you are even here I’m sure you’ve already watched this episode.
OK, let’s get to it. How deep did Din sink at the end of epsisode 2? It sure seemed like it was REALLY DEEP. Oh, and everyone says that the Mythosaur pulled him down — but I thought he just slipped and his heavy armor made him sink. Whatever. That doesn’t matter. I’m still going to get an estimate.
After Din sinks, Bo-Katan jumps in after him using her jet pack to propel herself underwater. I’m assuming that she has an air supply through her helmet somehow. But how deep did she go? Here’s where video analysis comes into play. If I can estimate how fast she is moving in the water, then I can use the total time to get an approximate distance traveled (it looks mostly downward, but we can deal with that later).
In order to get some reasonable data from the video, you need to know the following:
- Video scale. How big is stuff in the video? This means you need some known size object in the frame. It’s not the best option (because you can’t see too well) but I’m going with the approximate length of Bo-Katan (she…
