Photographer and film professor Cy Kuckenbaker scored a viral hit in December 2012 with a clever video showing five hours of airplane landings condensed into a 30-second composite time-lapse. That video has been viewed more than a million times over the past couple of months.
Kuckenbaker tells us that he just released a second companion piece — one that shows 90 airplanes in 30 seconds rather than 60.The following is Kuckenbaker’s explanation as to how the video was made:I shot 90 departures over a six-hour period from an area just beyond the airport fence in San Diego using the same settings as the previous video (50/s, f/13, ISO 100, 24 frames/sec). When the airplanes land they all touch down in the same area of the runway but on departure – depending on the size and weight of the airplane – they take off from drastically different parts of the runway. This means the planes are generally much smaller in the frame and moving at very different relative speeds.
To manage it all in post and keep the system from crashing I grouped the planes chronologically, chroma-keyed the sky out, then composited each group of ten to twelve planes together on one green screen …
