A Short Film Shot From The Window Of An Airplane

Have you ever tried to snap a picture from the window of an airplane thousands of feet above the Earth? We bet you weren’t as successful as Tim Sessler, the filmmaker behind the gorgeous short film, “Drift.”

Shot entirely from the porthole of a moving aircraft, the video captures breathtaking views of the world from San Francisco to Salt Lake City to Philadelphia. Sessler used a 5D Mark III to create his black and white masterpiece, editing the surreal footage to produce a visually stunning work that clocks in at just over three minutes long.
