For the Photographer in all of us. Momma Cha

SF to Paris in Two Minutes from Beep Show on Vimeo.

You are now watching: Aurora Borealis via Airplane

Shot a photo roughly every two miles between take-off in San Francisco and landing in Paris CDG to make this airplane time lapse. Made with a 5d2, a time-lapse controller, and a 16mm – 35mm, mixed with some iPhone shots. The music is a modified demo track “Gain” by DETUNE ltd. denkitribe on the Korg iMS20 iPad App. I’m pretty sure the track is copyrighted but it’s My First Synthesizer score so I’m hoping denkitribe is cool with it. 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 during times which 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 Stephanie and 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.

    • No Honey, I wish I could go to Paris. This is a report that I found interesting off of MSNBC. The photographer’s name is Nate Bolt and he set up his camera and filmed his flight from San Francisco to Paris. While shooting the camera captured the Aurora Borealis. I am an amateur astronmer so these things interest me. If I ever get a chance to go to Paris remind me to ask you to come along. 🙂 <3 Cha
