The Academy Award winning film "Birdman" used what's called tracking shot to create the sense of a seamless one-shot film. A new timelapse created from imagery captured by astronauts on the International Space Station uses the same technique—which has not been used in previous ISS timelapses—with stunning results. Additionally, the footage is very recent, from January and February 2015. It was compiled by Phil Selmes.
