Nervous flyers look away now, because this time-lapse has the potential to make you meet your breakfast again. Filmed by what seems to be a group of plane fanatics (much cooler than trainspotters, no?) this short film documents the alarming amount of incoming air traffic to Heathrow. Time-lapse has the tendency to make things look strange at the best of times, and this is no exception — watch as these planes become almost toy-like before your eyes, and rattle around in the breeze like nobody’s business.

A large aeroplane flies towards the camera with its landing gear deployed. Two smaller planes follow behind it against a pale blue sky with scattered clouds.
