The Shard: Aerial of construction - March 2011

When are you going to put a new video up? When the building has been topped out?

They choose the bleakest greyest day of the year to film this!

I am horrified by this ugly building. It looks like that god-awful pyramid in Pyongyang. Google it to see what I am talking about.

@GreenTeaGringo Can't please everyone. Plus it quite different from that pyramid.

@honestjohntellsit It isn't a timelapse it's true, but we're trying to shoot every 3-4 months or so to aerially capture key points in the construction. The point of the aerial shoot is that from the ground it's often hard to see much of the actual detail as it's on quite a constrained site footprint. There will no doubt be a full timelapse to view once construction is complete however.

Well this isn't impressive. It's not time delay so you can see actual progress, it's just flying around a building site. Really, I can see that it's a half build building from the ground. What a load of nonsense.

@honestjohntellsit Allows me to see the building from angles I could never see from the ground and shows great panoramas of the city. Excellent video for Shard enthusiasts.

I love how it cuts out the City Of London cluster at 1:22
