The Skyscraper Museum: "Shanghai" [PART 1 of 2] by Jakob Montrasio

German-born Jakob Montrasio currently lives in Shanghai, working as a photographer and cinematographer. The Skyscraper Museum discovered his photographs of Shanghai skyscrapers on Flickr and contacted Montrasio, who then volunteered to reshoot the towers with high-resolution equipment. All of the eleven-foot photo murals in the exhibition are his work.

Also for the Museum, in 2009, he created this 20-minute video odyssey of Shanghais streets and highways. The film was shot from a bus deck and the sidecar of a Changjiang Motor Bike. The extraordinary floating quality of the film was achieved with an arm extension and stabilizer through a cars sunroof as he documented the street life and changing architecture of Shanghais vibrant and diverse neighborhoods.

I like the fact that there is a walking bride on the bridge at around 2:05 into the video.
