Orion has also done a pad abort test, for what it's worth.

Why does Lockheed's official video look like it was filmed by my uncle on his VHS camcorder?

Looks like someone is recording a video feed broadcast via a projector onto a dark wall with a cellphone or camera. Probably a cellphone from 8yrs ago.

Off-topic, but, a cellphone from 8 years ago is the iPhone 4. Isn't that crazy to think about?

We're way off topic at this point. I think the iPhone 4's video quality would be better.

Regardless it's a video recording of a video being projected onto a wall. The cellphone quality is the least important part of my comment and has improved dramatically in quality on the average smart over 8yrs (iPhone tends to be leading edge and that phone was brand new at the time which not everyone has).
