Yes, it seems like airplanes are falling out of the sky all over (that is, if they make it up in the first place), so maybe it’s a good idea to let someone else do the flying for you?
Someone like “entrepreneur and artist” Nate Bolt, who, to create the video above, “shot a photo roughly every two miles between take-off in San Francisco and landing in Paris CDG.”
The movie appears to be quite an undertaking: Bolt gives detailed tech specs on how he made this movie, saying it was “shot with a 5d2, a time-lapse controller, and a 16mm – 35mm, mixed with some iPhone shots.” You can see his setup in one of the final frames of the video.
“The photos during take-off and landing are all computer models and totally rendered because I would never use an electronic device during times which the FAA prohibits them,” Bolt conscientiously notes.
