Abraj: Plural of Burj which is Arabic for Tower.

Timelapse video featuring the two iconic towers of Dubai. The Burj Al Arab and the world's tallest building. The Burj Khalifa.

Commisioned to shoot various timelapses of the Emirate by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. This is an edit I put together for myself of some of my favourite shots. Including some amazing views from 154 floors up on the Burj Khalifa.

Music is by Vaughan Williams: Variations on theme by Thomas Tallis

  • God, this is gorgeous...love the music!

  • Video is amazing, I hope to visit some day

  • Superb skills. Who dislikes this? 6 very envious asswipes.

  • I'm not sure whether music and movie go well with each other. Sure, the pure symmetry of the towers reflects perfectly the heavenly strings; though, some time lapse sequences really do disturb the grandeur of some moments. For example the shot at 3:00 (an uneasiness which disappears when one forces to concentrate on the tower in the background), and some other tiny details.

    But nethertheless, truely a eye- and mind-opener. Shots like at 3:33 are simply stunning. Great work...

  • Awesome video.

  • Mr Bloom...my hero!!! Would love your opinion on something.....Looking to buy a new video camera to shoot weddings and small films, i have around $5000 to spend, i'm curious what YOU would buy.....dslr or video camera, and what kind? A response from the king would make my day!! thanks man
