"Future of Flight" Time-Lapse Video

This time-lapse video reduces 9 hours of weaving down to about 45 seconds.  I programmed by video camera to take .5 seconds of footage every 5 minutes.

"Future of Flight" weaves together aerial photography of the San Francisco Airport with an image of the universe, making the airport appear like a giant spaceship hurling through space.  For this reason, I chose John Williams's "Asteroid Field Battle", from The Empire Strikes Back, as my soundtrack.  The music is ridiculously dramatic for the subject matter, but I just can't help myself sometimes.  I find no fun in taking myself too seriously, especially when it comes to art.
