City Of Cranes - UK

August 2009

Taking the viewer on a journey high up into the sky, this HD film is a stunning portrait of the lives of crane drivers. Divided into four chapters, it allows you to experience what it feels like to work hundreds of feet above the ground only surrounded by a small metal cage.

'You see all kinds of strange things', says the crane driver. His work is a time to reflect on life:'People have got set patterns. You make a little story up about their life in your head'. Guilelessly eloquent musings offset gorgeous aerial shots. 'Weve got the 360 degree perspective of how Londons changing' the driver observes. A fascinating, awe-inspiring ride.

For every 1 crane there are 50 british 'engineers' discussing how to use it and trying to rewrite the user's manual for it
