Apollo 11 Post Flight Press Conference (Full Mission)
Augsut 12th 1969 - The Apollo 11 crew conduct their first public press conference since returning to earth on July 24th. This video shows the press conference but the lighting is not adequate to see what the crew is talking about when they are presenting photos/film on the screen to the left of them. I have attempted to reconstruct that video with what might have been shown. This video concludes the Apollo 11 Full Mission Series.
With kudos to Robin Wheeler - I am grateful for his patience!

The Full Mission Series Production - An Explanation of the Process
Production began in February 2018 with the intention of release on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's launch day (subsequently the pre and post flight press conferences were added). Each video took between 1 and 3 months to produce. Full Mission videos start with editing of the available audio for that particular day, sometimes split bewteen 3 tracks of audio (air to ground/flight directors loop/crew onboard tape). Once that process is completed the available TV transmissions or other associated video is positioned along with 16mm film taken by the crew. Photographs are placed in the mission timeline aprroximately near to where there were taken in the mission. Captions are then added to give pertinent information. The gaps that are left visually are filled with screen captures of the spacecraft from the Orbiter Space Simulator. Positions of spacecraft are approximated to what would have been seen on the mission, but during TLI, CSM RCS and SPS burns (LOI etc) the orientation is as near as I can get it to the actual (with sage advice from RW). Once these screen captures are in place the Apollo Guidence Computer (Virtual AGC) screens are captured. This involves setting the AGC time to the PAO announcements during the flight, screen capturing them and then transferring them to the timeline. Finally the title sequences are added.
Final editing of the whole video takes place with a run-through of the whole thing before the render of the video. Video sizes vary from 4 to 24gb.
