Nice one. However, a lot of those airplane videos are CGI - done in a computer. As a matter of fact, the popularity of fractal photography and design goes back to advertising for an airline. The advertiser wanted realistic-looking pictures of mountains to place behnid the flying plane. What he came up with was using fractals, which generated what looked like real mountains.
Did you actually watch the video Jerry? They explained what they did, and showed the equipment. I had the opportunity to talk with Clay Lacy once, who used to shoot film with a similar rig like the one in this video. As a video producer too I had the privilege of working with a lot of his footage as well. The advantage of Boeing's location, in the NW, was that they were close to mountains, water, and high plains desert for backgrounds. I don't remember working with any 'computer-animated footage, other than concept related programs.
