LHR flightpaths

3D CGI visualisation of direct destinations from London Heathrow airport.

This shot uses a procedural data-driven approach. Data was compiled for LHR and each destination airport, including airport code, name, city, latitude and longitude. This was imported with a table import SOP and used to pinpoint each destination on the globe. The real challenge lay in creating a for-loop system to get each ‘aircraft’ to reach it’s destination with a time delay sorted by it’s flight distance from London. You’ll notice the nearest destinations are reached and labelled first.

The whole system is fully art directable – and of course re-usable with new data.
