The Death Of The Drexel Shaft
Loading...
Uploaded by b1lskirnir on Nov 15, 2009
The 11/15/09 early morning implosion of the Amtrak Steam Plant near 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, more colloquially known as "The Drexel Shaft." A symbolic victory for the students of Drexel University and their fight against bureaucracy.
Music: Hide And Seek by Imogen Heap
To the people who asked/care: the footage was shot on a Sony PMW-EX1 at 720p and 60 frames per second overcranked. I did a few in-camera filters, but I also took a lot of artistic liberty with the color correction. Thanks for the curiosity :)

Viagra increases size, it doesn't un-break things... unfortunately for some people I guess.

i notice some barrel distortion, was this shot at shortest focal length of the camera's lens?

Yeah, this was full wide and I was as close as possible as I could be to the implosion.

@b1lskirnir was it a RED camera?

@hbjimbo Nope, just a Sony EX1 overcranked to 60 fps at 720p.
