  • EarthCam released this Telly Award-winning 4K time-lapse movie showcasing construction for The Oculus, New York City's new transportation hub, from July 2011 to May 2016, in honor of the ribbon cutting ceremony on May 26.
    A message from the CEO and Founder of EarthCam, Brian Cury:
    “Unique and impressive designs like The Oculus are defining 21st century architecture and my hope is this movie acts as a time capsule of our innovative culture. We are proud to provide industry leaders with a powerful visual medium to showcase their legacy projects in a meaningful way for future generations.”
    EarthCam’s time-lapse editors pored over more than one million high-resolution photographs and panoramas, and hand-edited them into a cinematic time-lapse movie, showcasing the nearly 5-year project from start to finish in less than 2 minutes.
    Produced and Directed by Brian Cury
    Archival Producers: Lana Moskalyova and Juan Navas
    Webcam Technology: Bill Sharp, James Nicoll, Michael Winfield and Colin Sheehan
    Editors: Brian Cury and Brandon Lum
    Assistant Editors: Jeffrey Mayhew and Billy Paladino

    I really have to give it to structural and design engineers. My dad was a Civil Engineer and I admired and always thought he was “smarter than the average bear.” (You oldsters like me will get that!)
    Also, many thanks to our friends at EarthCam - I’m disabled and spend much of my time looking out of their windows to the world. Thank y’all!

      It's supposed to be a phenix like bird in ascension. The extended arches are wings. they were supposed to be moving parts. e.g milwaulkee art museum designed by the same architect, has wings that extend & fold. the original plan was to have these wings that would extend to the max on 9/11, as a form of symbolism of survival, but they couldn't afford it and there was space constraint in the area around it. So they are fixed, permanently extended.

    Can’t believe it took 5 years to build this ! Mean while in China they can complete a whole skyscraper in 6 months !!! Why is that ???????????????

    • @HelpICantThinkOfACleverName
      @HelpICantThinkOfACleverName Рік тому

      Except working conditions in China are far worse, and structures can very often be of lower quality. I mean, one time a Chinese construction firm forgot about something as simple as water displacement when building land out into a river, and it made an unfinished high-rise topple over. Luckily no one was hurt. A skyscraper also randomly started swaying for no apparent reason. I could go on.
      China might be able to build fast, but it's at the expense of people's safety, and the structural integrity of what's built.
      Here in the US, we have things agencies like OSHA that oversee the safety of work environments, like construction site, to make sure the safety of the people is being respected. Look at the Empire State Building, it was built in like 13 months, but 5 people died because of dangerous conditions. Ex: No hardhats, no safter railing, no safety harnesses, slippery surfaces, etc.
      OSHA didn't exist back then, and didn't until the 1970s.
      In conclusion, fast doesn't equate to better, and Chinese construction firms often cut corners to get the project done quicker while their government doesn't care. That would not fly with OSHA, whose mandates have minimized work-related deaths and injuries.
      (Note: Injuries are still common, it's still a construction site where many things can go wrong, but we no longer have as many severe injuries, like lost limbs and accident-cause paralysis, and falling from a 200ft high ledge is extremely rare thanks to railing and harnesses.)
