What does the solar eclipse look like from 40,000 feet?
Rather than point a camera at the sun, our crew launched a highly modified Embraer Phenom 300 with stabilized IMAX-grade camera systems and pointed downward to showcase the majesty of this phenomenon as one continuous shot.
Cruising at FL430, the result is a three-dimensional perspective with visibility stretching 250 miles in every direction as the shadow moves across the horizon and engulfs the earth below.
There are no words to describe this experience. Incredibly proud to share our work, made possible by the best crew around.
