They say adding motion to a timelapse is the way to make it really shine. The folks at Beepshow used an Air France jet as a 5000 mile dolly to capture this cool timelapse on an 11 hour flight from San Francisco to Paris.
The timelapse was captured with a Canon 5D Mark II and 16-35mm f/2.8 lens. Audio was mixed on an iPad and the whole thing was edited in iMovie and After Effects CS5.
Yet another reason to always get the window seat.
