Stumble ThisFrom description by Steve Talkowski on vimeo:
"I wanted to shoot out the window on a recent flight and all I had available was my iPhone 3GS. The scanning order of the sensor combined with the refraction from the window caused this pretty cool phenomenon. I then discovered that rotating the camera would warp the blades in different directions.
The footage was brought into After Effects and rotated to match the physical rotation of the iPhone. "

I love flying LSD Airways.
I was actually thinking Dali Air...
But it's a lot cooler on video.
It's not refraction as the tags suggest. It's an artifact of CMOS Rolling Shutter, which affects a metric ton of cameras these days, even the $15K Red One. More details than you care to know here: http://dvxuser.com/jason/CMOS-CCD/
Thanks! I adjusted the tags!
