Here's the clip that has me in a tizzy.

This is a great example of why the effect only works when the car is moving. You can see the plane begins to move and the illusion is broken once the car comes to a stop. Also compare the size of the apartment building to the size of the plane. A passenger jet should be much bigger if it were the same distance from the camera as the building, in fact it probably wouldn't even fit on the roof.
It just feels off still. Like it should be moving as the car starts slowing down, yet it doesn't seem to do it. It's almost like it doesn't start moving until the car is almost completely stopped.
I guess we need stationary cameras to determine like with some of those bird videos. I remain skeptical for the simple fact that I could see this being accepted and then when planes do start stopping in mid air, people won't question it.
Of course, I will reserve freak outs for until someone has stationary footage.
