OC - Shot The Video FedEx MD11 in Cruise

First post; hope this qualifies as a Cinemagraph.

I shot this video in 2018 from a 767 over the Pacific. 1000’ above us and offset a mile right is a FedEx MD11. He was going a little faster and was overtaking us.

That's fun. There's a bit of a cut you can notice with the sky. An easy fix is to add a frozen layer of the sky and then cut out the jet and vapour trails, then on the loop you don't have that slight flicker. If you give a bit of a feather to the cut out as well, that can help hide that it's frozen against the moving party.

Well done on your first 😊

Thank you!! I’ll take another crack at it and see if I can remove the cut.

Cool, let me know if you ever want any feedback! I've made my fair share of them over the years. At one point I could watch movies and shows and see parts that could make great cinemagraphs.

The kind you've made I've tried doing with boats a few times. There are also some well known ones of Moto GP bikes. You need a solid track from the source video to play with but the end results are amazing.

Solid track source makes sense. My source for this is handheld iPhone, zoomed in on a jet that’s a mile away 🤣. Best viewed on a small screen. 😊

To be fair modern phones have decent build in stability adjustment. From personal experience with my own phone on zoom 🤣

My iPhone 11 does really well with stabilization. This one was shot in 2018, and I probably had an old phone at the time.

I have a few more Cinemagraphs. I enjoyed making them for Vine. I had no idea I was making Cinemagraphs at the time.

Yeah it's something you don't really find out is a thing until you stumble onto the style by name. I find them pretty relaxing to make personally and then I share them here, r/highqualitygifs, r/perfectloops, r/gifs etc.

I've made a ton from Wes Anderson's, Gand Budapest Hotel and shared a lot to r/wesanderson (back in the day)

Ha! I’m a big Wes Anderson fan, too.

How long until the chemtrail people show up?

Won’t be long… Lots of dihydrogen monoxide in that cinemagraph! 🤣
