A little video editing makes for the lower-gravity-look authentic by slowing it down. Speed up the video and it looks like they're in an environment that mimics the earths gravity.
Er, except that it doesn't. Speed the footage up six times to Earth-normal G and all the movement looks hilariously jerky. Even if you allow the atronauts to be on wire rigs and then slow the footage, as the Mythbusters showed it doesn't replicate the Apollo footage even accidentally.
In any case, the decompression chamber angle addresses the lack of air, not the simulation of one-sixth gravity. The signature lack of air dampening on objects such as the flags necessitates a vacuum.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
