MOTHER OF GOD

(O.O)

[BestSanFranciscoBusi]

How about doing time lapse videos for other trips?

[lowe442]

I can't stop watching :) I love how you adjusted the camera right before the northern lights. Great video

[astronomyphotography]

Great time lapse, especially where the northern lights can be seen! I have just started to make some of my own cloud time lapses.

[LomTang]

I love the way all of our questions are answered in less than a second at the end. except for Why?

[manonthemoon516]

1:08 Oh. My. God. Props to you sir for this amazing video.

[beer94]

did he just fly over the north pole?

[germdisco]

@beer94 The normal route doesn't quite go to the North Pole. Take a look at the Great Circle Mapper website, and plug in SFO-CDG. The route goes to the north, over Montana, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Hudson bay, the southern tip of Greenland, but then it turns south, goes south of Iceland, north of Ireland, across Wales or so, and into France.

[Jetblackswagg]

What type of aircraft was it

[n54power]

amazing video!!

thanks for sharing!

[eiLaxPlayer78]

how does your battery on your camera last that long?

[emjaynie2]

Love it!

[minetruly]

The effort to sync it with music made this really exceptional. Great job!

[airbus91]

so its okay if i bring my tripod on a plane?

[NemaSlobodnogJuzera]

man, I admire you. Great idea, very original, good job!

[Gerardius]

Thanks for this original work!!

[aran1725]

Amazing!!!!! Thanks!

[iSNiPEjust]

Imagine you hear the shutters? haha.

[Texas2SF]

Tully Awesome!

[AggieGal711]

Thumbs up if you watched this at Weather.com.

[XenionTech]

i wouldve gone nuts if i was hearing that dslr click the whole trip. but then again, it was totally worth it (annoying your neighbors lol)

[irinisva]

Very nice, I actually saw this one on Vimeo!!

[BettinaFromBrazil]

ahhhhh you must be kidding me that you got the aurora borealis on a flight???!!!!!!!

[taskzulu]

That was pretty dope! I love the track!!!!! And the aurora borialis

[farfromwhere]

I like! Fantastic idea and clip!

Since you said you had seen the Northern lights, I stayed up the whole flight long as it is my lifetime dream to see them. The steward warned me when there was one but I didn't see it from the window nor from the embedded camera - this is so cool. Just dawn or dusk on Canada which was quite beautiful. Now I'm back in Paris and knackered! Thanks for the visual poetry anyway, Esther.

[HumanSayNo]

Why is there no contrail?

[zacbusche]

woo- I'm a champion! Great video!

[Gforce19842009]

This is freaking awesome, or more than awesome, but i was wondering did the flight attendant didn't complain about your camera? because even small bags on your feet, it is not allowed you have to put under your seat, and didn't they tell you not to use electronics every time when in flight? please advice me i want to do this too. thanks

[PrimozAviation]

Cool... But I'm curious - didn't the other passengers complain about the shutter going off all the time? :D

[xinapray]

Very cool timelapse! Thanks for sharing!

[TheSilentmodemusic]

northern lights!!!!!!

[fuckdomenech]

Magnific !!!

[Chrisanddog]

Nice!

[twobeavers]

Nice!! Thanks for sharing this~

[ST3VEBMW]

Wooow great vid!!

[brizzyroz]

@LoudestHoward - haha!

[2010LIVEPRODUCTIONS]

nice video!

[4ofinny]

wow that is amazing!

[toby16custom]

@Pabloskydecai more then likely a passing aircraft or ship dependent on altitude and location. I would bet aircraft

[999lifegoes]

This needs double the views,just unbeliavable.

[nbolt]

@999lifegoes Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. For some reason the Vimeo version has 3 Million views so I probably should have just picked one place...

[mrgypsyman]

SFO to CDG? Really cool video, but how was the northern lights on the right side of the aircraft?

[survivorstuff]

@mrgypsyman If you look in the description: "The flight path from SF to Paris goes well over greenland and the arctic circle, where you can see "northern" lights from all sides of the plane, which explains why I could shoot them facing South. "

[mrgypsyman]

@survivorstuff Yes, I realize that, but wasn't sure if the aurora would be south of you at that latitude. I am actually a pilot, and recently flew almost that exact same route the other direction, but it was daylight. I've never been that far north at night. Thanks for the clarification. Great video!

[3928679]

i heard the mario bros theme

[kaitlinalexandra5]

plane trips seem so much more interesting in 2 minutes

[BarryMaurice]

@kaitlinalexandra5 yes, yes they do lol

[Giomaraba21]

REALLY AWESOME! PLease whats the name of the song! Thanks :D

[xyzguy123]

[katiepwood]

[MacTireMhaighEo]

Great film, shame about the music.

[jvreymondon]

It looks like the ZEHST! Check it on youtube.com/user/EADStv

Tokyo->Paris 2h30

:-)

[RProddroPR]

This is so great!!! i love it!!!!

[408danyboy]

I live in SF ,and im planning to go to France.Anyone know about how much i need for the WHOLE trip? please tell me if you know

[wantsacreativename]

Who dislikes a video this awesome. First of all when was the last time that you too an 11 hour trip in 2 minutes??? and when was the last time you saw an Aurora??

[wantsacreativename]

Who the hell dislikes a video this awesome. First of all when was the last time that you too an 11 hour trip in 2 minutes??? and when was the last time you saw an Aurora??

[Flightdeskscript]

super awasome!



[1053857]

France 24 is a french TV channel.

[Pabloskydecai]

WTF is the light on the clouds at 1:20 ???? hahaha

[sf49ersrule]

I had to go from SF to Dubai, 16 hour plane over the north pole... NOT FUN.

[osoroco]

The photos during take-off and landing are all computer models and totally rendered because I would never use an electronic device during times when the FAA prohibits them. I did get lucky and have a whole row to myself to setup the tripod and gear.

i see what you did there

great video! hope to be able to emulate it someday

[quickrsa]

Fantastic video, why didn't you post the video to reddit and just the photos?

[ImmortalAnubis]

Great video!!!! 10 thumbs up!! xD

[Pwnedanime]

Welcome to shit a brick airlines! we get you there SUPER FAST!

[Razgriz2010c]

Where were you at 0:32?

[wowdude999]

@Razgriz2010c He just took off from San Francisco ~ 0:20 so he must be over the Sierra Nevada's or the Rocky's.

[caistre]

@Razgriz2010c That's Lake Tahoe, in the Sierra Nevada range. The pronounced bend in the California-Nevada border is in the southeastern part of the lake.

[boeing09876654321]

YOUR PLANE PARKED RIGHT NEXT TO THE A380 AIR FRANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[408danyboy]

Great

[simonal0vah]

GREAT !

[MrMisteryooo]

wow, beautifull

[MeEncantaKiley]

@ Annacrizz1 ¡no, no durmió en el avión!

[whteveridk]

looks like we got quite a sun flare that day, as is evident by the aurora. Probably means that flight had more radiation than average.

[EarninMoney]

1.29 ignite ?? ufo ?? wtf?

[incekt]

Were you monitoring exposures real-time via some external device to make sure you weren't under/over exposed? Is that the "iMS20" app you were talking about?

[buffedtrainer1]

someday in the not too distant future the trip to Paris from SFO will be around 2 minutes :-)

[randomize5301]

i gotta see the northern lights before i die

[nvlptl]

@randomize5301 you should smoke some northern lights before you die as well

[AnbuSoldier87]

best part was the aurora borealis, awesome

[poka4anu]

класс!

[TheFizzeroo]

Great mid video effects!

[anguilus4]

AWFUL quality for such a great idea.... yet, good work.. =)

[Mayokitty7]

@anguilus4 It's pictures, not video. And the pictures themselves are good quality, so...

[anguilus4]

@Mayokitty7 i know what a timelapse is, and no, the pictures are not good quality, they look pixelated, but nevermind! the idea is great!

[swimsav01]

amazing!



[rudenesscouldnt]

cool



[jmobstfeld]

Every two miles?  Thats a picture every twenty seconds! sounds tiring.

[kristinetissue]

you inspired me to do this. please check it out :)

[1992marshmallow]

what are those orange things at 115

[toomuchockey]

@1992marshmallow cities

[miguelskaff]

Aviation and music, the best together. Good job!

[AnnaCrizz1]

hice aldo parecido en el mirador de una ciudad cuando va anocheciendo se ve chido buen trabajo solo una pregunta no dormiste?



[freetofly10]

Whoaaaaaaaa Amazing video! Great job!

[silvascreen]

I did one too. Thanks for the inspiration!

[joshua237]

i read the whole thing. I AM A CHAMPION.

[zlosch]

Someone was using their electronic device despite the instructions from the flight crew:-) Nice video!

[atomjack]

@zlosch Someone didn't read the entire description.

[xenom966]

Simply - just beautiful! without a question!

[miguem26]

im still befuddled as to how they get all that spray paint in the atmosphere

[Dredwam]

great sound great vid :)



[Torrofication]

I like it. Genial trabajo!

[Torrofication]

I like it. Genial trabajo!

[cpypcy]

I wonder if you could just make 6 hour vid and then timelapse the crap out of it :D

[xSobenx]

thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the Aurora Borealis.

[fitch003]

AMAZING!!

[RacerXGTO]

You had to have flown over the arctic circle in order to catch Aurora's.

[jacovc1986]

i think he means electric devices that operate constantly

[tophgm]

i like the video an the song. whats the name of the song???

[tophgm]

i like the video an the song. whats the name of the song???

[cristalynnart]

very nice vid! was that the real northern lights? regardless, it was an interesting video, good job!

[atlascassidy]

Its obviously fake

[cpapilotalex]

@atlascassidy IGNORANT

[eyeluv2dance]

@atlascassidy No, your opinion is.

[atlascassidy]

@eyeluv2dance my opinion

[icedbannanas]

I'm confused about one thing.... so how did he record the images of take-off and landing without using an electronic device....?? Or is he joking..:S

[MrGetalife23]

Whats the song called?

[MrMisteryooo]

powerfull !!!

[gmac8819]

I wish the trip was also 2 minutes and four seconds!!!

[anime549]

@gmac8819 Why? The joy is in the journey and I for one LOVE airplane rides.

[jonbobsmith]

whats that bright island (?) at 1:18?

[MassillonJoe]

@jonbobsmith @gulsherjan the aurora borealis

[MassillonJoe]

@jonbobsmith oh you meant the light toward the bottom. not sure could be a boat, a building who knows.

[GJv0179]

Very lucky to pe parked next to the A380! Anyway... awesome video and editing!

[XxStussyTribexX]

i think daft punk would be jealous of this song

[gulsherjan]

whats the green light at 1:15

[SirFlight]

@gulsherjan It's an boreal aurora!!! Its common in Nordic countries. Because it must pass near the Arctic Circle to the SF line in Paris!!

[gulsherjan]

@SirFlight Thanx...any further detail would be appreciated :)

[omerkempler]

the aurora

[adybravo]

32 idiots not appreciating the work of this guy, incredible

[thrcman]

@n0maps Many great videos and documentaries were made despite the fact that they werent supposed to. The day a camera/laptop/phone etc singlehandedly brings down a jet plane is the day they stop flying.

[n0maps]

@thrcman That was not my point.As I said, those devices probably don't interfere at all with the plane's intruments,I understand they apply a generic rule to any electronic device for not having to check each one individually.However, I was talking about respecting a security policy that affects everybody without exceptions.I follow many rules I don't believe in, we all do, and I break others, btw :) I'm ok with that, but only as long as it does not affect others around you.

[thrcman]

Nice vid! Thanks for sharing.

[fullnelson9999]

Why doesn't this video have more views?

[JPedroCQ]

great video

[expressioncollege]

Glorious!

[n0maps]

and btw... obviously I don't but that shit about computer models during take off and landing... come on... let's be serious :)

[4btheb]

gareth emery sent me here xD

[maxp0w3r]

30 Viewers never flew SF-Paris in just 2 minutes...

[kc8reh]

Correct Me if I am wrong but is this a Boeing 747-400? VERY COOL video none the less!!!!!

[ecoRfan]

@kc8reh I'd have to say Airbus A340. Then again, I don't know exactly.

[Borck103]

@ecoRfan It's a Boeing 747-400.

[sparrowlt]

@ecoRfan Its definitily an A340

[numloxx]

And having equipment out during takeoff and landing... I don't think so. Unless he maybe had the Captain's permission for this type of setup..

[ChazabuZ]

Ouiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiii!!!! lol!!

[dlv57]

Fabulous!

[chuckaroonee]

Way cool, awesome video but what's really interesting is @ the end when the plane parks next the to the Air France A380. The same A380 that was just involved in that Delta Comair incident at JFK last Monday night, April 11th. But great video all around!

[maxp0w3r]

@chuckaroonee Just curious... what makes you think that it's the very same aircraft that bitch slapped the Comair Jet ?

Since the video doesn't show the reg of this A380.

[hegeweko1]

... großartige bilder und vor allem eine tolle idee !

[sterie55]

super ;)



[crazylazy92]

Nice Work! this is what I call dedication.

[Julieerenalien]

Tom Kaulitz sended me here :)))

[ravercabbie]

This is so cool! I loved it!! Thanks so much!

[plusquix]

Any astronomer out there? At 1:24 min the star at the wing tip and the one to its right seem to be γ and δ of the Corvus constellation. These 2 stars are pointers for Spica; the bright star on the left side of the wing tip. The "star” above Spica is Saturn; assuming that the video was taken a few days before it was posted. All these should be below the horizon at the near 50°N latitude the plane was flying; but readily visible at 35,000-40,000 feet. Simply beautiful! Thanks for the view!
