    Everytime I fall out of love with Burning Man I come across something (like this) that makes me fall in love with Burning Man.

    I appreciate you making this, but only left me wanting to see a lot more. Has anyone ever made a time lapse of Black Rock City being built? I'd love to see the order that things are placed as the infrastructure builds. I'm guessing Center Camp goes up first? Maybe some trucks or trailers to provide rest and shelter for the builders?

    I want to know how they find the starting point. A permanent survey marker would go against the "leave no trace" principle. Triangulate off of landmarks in the distance? Do they use GPS to accurately place it? Or do they just pick a random point somewhere in the vicinity every year?
    I would think randomizing the location would be better or the environment. If it's the same every year, eventually the main roads are going to be harder to erase - like how old CRT-based TVs would get if you left the news channel on too long you'd always see a ghost of the news ticker on the bottom of the screen.

    I like how you incorporated the drone shots here, super cool perspective.

    • @Shalaco
      @Shalaco  5 років тому

      Ah, shucks thanks @Nicole Glass. This vlog Is the reason I bought a drone. I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking, I have to buy a drone, there's no other way I can show the scale of this project. These shots were literally my first times flying. After flying in the city and experiencing 2-3 feet of drift in landing I can't believe how close I flew to people and that I launched from the tight quarters of the Octagon. Check it at 4:36.… and 4:49 is seriously up close and personal.

      i don't know your disability but burning man works with disabled people, in fact you can drive a vehicle on the playa after you register at the dmv so you can enjoy the art just like everyone else :D
      I dont know you, but i hope for real one day you go and enjoy all the incredible things there. Im rooting for ya

      o no really like I had no idea how much work went into setting this sort of thing up. Honestly, it was something that I hadn't really put a lot of thought into.

    Why not keep the same grid/plan year after year, instead of resurveying everything annually?

    • @Shalaco
      @Shalaco  4 роки тому

      I believe they shift the footprint to reduce the impact in any one place.

  • @Teleportcamera
    @Teleportcamera 5 років тому

    01:02 somebody is clearly driving faster than 10mph on gate road.

    • @Shalaco
      @Shalaco  4 роки тому

      At this point there was no gate road yet, and no speed limit, but thanks for looking out!

    You would think that after all these years, every point in Black Rock City's GPS co-ordinates would have been recorded, and then just walked/driven to each point in the new year. But what do I know. BTW, I'm still looking for a real behind the scenes video of BM. No art cars, or music, just what it really takes to put this together. Anybody?

    • @Shalaco
      @Shalaco  5 років тому

      The site has been moved to different locations to minimize the impact to any one spot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Luke Lopez lol! i am guessing in the hundreds of port-o-potties around the site, them large trucks come and take the potties. those trucks go to a local sewage waste plant(hopefully).
