Is that the Fiat factory in Italy? Awesome looking place that.

Looks like it with the banking in the background. Those concrete walls would never be thick enough for me to race up there!

given your proneness to highsides you wouldnt have to worry about the thickness.. more the drop as you sailed over it...

I only highsided once, and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as old george lawrence

That is some awesome editing! haha

It's an effect that can sometimes happen with cameras. When you're in a plane next, point your camera out the window at the turbine and take a photo/video.

Looks pretty funny.

okaaaaaay but not really

simple answer

This very odd effect can be seen using digital still and video cameras that have a CMOS sensor and is known to be one of the "rolling shutter effect".

Rolling shutter (also known as line scan) is a method of image acquisition in which each frame is recorded not from a snapshot of a single point in time, but rather by scanning across the frame either vertically or horizontally. In other words, not all parts of the image are recorded at exactly the same time, even though the whole frame is displayed at the same time during playback. This in contrast with global shutter in which the entire frame is exposed for the same time window.
This produces predictable distortions of fast-moving objects or when the sensor captures rapid flashes of light.

like this with a prop on an iphone

shutter speed / frame rate..

it’s a factor of both. Since each frame has to ensure the blade is in the same position as the last it therefore needs to be in sync with the rpm of the rotar blades. Shutter speed then needs to be fast enough to freeze the blade without too much motion blur within each frame.

Here the rotor has five blades, now lets say the rpm of the rotor is 300. That means, per rotation, a blade is in a specific spot on five counts. That gives us an effective rpm of 1500. 1500rpm / 60secs = 25.

Therefore shooting at 25fps will ensure the rotor blades are shot in the same position every frame. Each frame then has to be shot at a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the blade for minimal motion blur.

Refresh rate of the camera or something isn't it? Just like when you look at a TV with a camera and it has horizontal bars running up and down. I did think that that is what's happening in that gif, but it looks to perfect. Just looks like someones edited it so that they only took the frames where the rotor blades where in that position. Either way, it looks cool

Is't because of the Russling Jimmies I think
