History Rising - Burj Khalifa

This is a video response to all videos that involve actual photographs from the Burj Khalifa construction site.

With construction beginning on February 1st, 2005 and estimated for completion on August 16th, 2009, since its development in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the Burj Khalifa has gotten taller and taller. Developed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, it is now the tallest man-made structure on Earth and continues to get taller. This video is commemorated to those who have put there blood, sweat, and for two construction workers, lives into this project. May the Burj Khalifa reign King of the Skyscrapers for years to come until its brother the Nakheel Tower begins construction.

Photos for this video come from burjdubaiskyscraper.com courtesy of Imre Solt. He truly has an eye for photographing construction sites as he provides the clearest view on the progress of the Burj Khalifa's construction.

The song used for the video comes from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion's remake of Bart Howard's original "Fly Me to the Moon."

Google Maps shows this video as being recorded in Norton, Massachusetts, USA. Basically, the other side of the earth from Dubai. Odd.

@SteelWheelsDown I don't know how you found out that information because I can't even find that particular bit of information and it's MY movie. So touche on that. Anyway, you are indeed correct. I compiled all the photos and spliced in the song at my home computer. But seriously, what button did you press to show that information cause I can't seem to find it anywhere.

there is a pause on audio please let it play and you will hear a lovely song.

[Nasaniaru]

I am so sorry but I don't quite get what your saying there. Could you please rephrase it and maybe I can help you out?

[throwachair]

sorry pressed thumbs down by mistake, very sorry.

[Nasaniaru]

Ah forget about it.

Now this is really something.

Actually, I was incorrect - it only shows up in Google Maps, not that it was created there. If you go to Google Maps, mouseover Traffic and click Videos, and enter this address: 19 Cobb St, Norton, MA 02766

your video is shown there. I live near there, and was surfing the map to see local videos, and saw this. The only way a video can appear on Google Maps is if someone creates a "My Map" and places it there. If it wasn't you, then someone else did (perhaps an accident?).

Cheers!
