30. SF to Paris in Two Minutes
10 months ago
More of these at beepshow.com
I shot a photo roughly every two miles between take-off in San Francisco and landing in Paris CDG to make this airplane time lapse.
Big thanks to the folks at uxlondon.com for inviting me to europe to speak - if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have made the trip. Shot with a 5d2, a time-lapse controller, and a 16mm - 35mm, mixed with some iPhone shots. The music is a modified template "Gain" used with permission from DETUNE ltd. denkitribe soundcloud.com/denkitribe/gain - I arranged on the Korg iMS20 iPad App. Edits and pans in After Effects CS5 and iMovie.
The photos during take-off and landing are all computer models and totally rendered because I would never use an electronic device when the FAA prohibits them. I did get lucky and have a whole row to myself to setup the tripod and gear.
Thanks to my neighbors for not minding an SLR click every 2 to 30 seconds for 11 hours, and thanks to the whole Air France flight crew for being insanely friendly and allowing me to shoot. Thanks to @ztaylor for showing me the Korg iMS20 iPad App. Thanks to @jayzombie and the #nerdbird on the way to SXSW this year for helping me come up with the idea. Thanks to @somnabulent for the idea of live scoring. Thanks to you for actually reading this far. You are a champion.

Haha was going to comment on that.... I don't know about the 5d2 but my D700 is loud! Awesome video!
Obviously, NO shooter would EVER break rules when shooting amazing video. Silly.
great job, though; really liked it :)
"I would never use an electronic device when the FAA prohibits them." Very talented 3D modeling, man ;)
Your 3D modelling is awesome. ILM will be in touch soon!:)
If ever there's a case where antiquated notions of copyright would stifle innovation, this is it. FYI, *you* should read "A History of Intellectual Piracy" by Adrian Johns, and listen to Lawrence Lessig.
As a professional photographer who makes a living with my photography, I'd be pretty pissed if someone used my photographs without licensing them or asking for my permission.
I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree. ;)

Great video, out of curiosity I had to figure out the numbers above.
Amazing!!
next time though, most dslr's have an option to turn off the sound of the click.
And while i love what you did, saying the landing and take off are 3d, yeah, i gotta call BS on you there.
One Question:
How you have changed the exposure time during the flight and during the shoots? Or is the exposure time set on a static value?
The "3D" on the other hand is obviously not true :D
Great work!
Super awesome job man.
Nice !!!
