I was in a car dealership waiting room and saw this video of an airport that was slowly scrolling down the screen (like River Raid).



enter image description here



The video is in motion - the cars on the street are moving and the 2 planes on the left were taxiing. The scrolling is very smooth - as if it's a satellite or maybe blimp.



Is this real video or just CGI? What airport is it?



How did they get the video while it was obviously in use? Wouldn't the airspace above the airport be restricted?

Specifically, the video is one of the Apple TV's screensaver images, taken at LAX (this one in particular [high-def video link]).



It's not CGI. Apple used a variety of drones and helicopters to shoot the footage.



While the airspace around the airport is generally controlled (not restricted), there are a number of VFR flight routes that cross the airport. These can be seen on the Los Angeles Terminal Area Chart. In the case of this specific video, permission was presumably coordinated with ATC. As the video was taken down the middle of the airport, between the sets of runways, it's likely that taking it didn't interfere with air traffic; traffic arriving/departing LAX won't be flying there.

    This is the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at LAX.



    Though I'm not sure how they filmed it. If it's moving in real time I don't think it's satellite. Drone seems like it may make the most sense, but it seems like it would be a huge pain to get permission to fly a drone right there, even though planes are not (hopefully) flying that low over the terminals. Maybe another poster can chime in.
