Filmed at the evening before midsummer at Phoenix West, a former steel area in Dortmund, Germany. Some buildings are wrecked, some are turned into monuments, some others are dying slowly. Something old is turning into new perspectives - or maybe not.
Why the hall and not the great steel monster from beginning? That's easy, it is private ground and you need a permission. And I would be a little bit afraid flying a WiFi drone between all the steel rips. That is also the reason why I filmed only outside the ruin, there would be no chance to rescue the bird if the connection had been lost. But with another drone... I have some ideas for nice sequences.

Good work - you captured the building really well.

Thank you.

You're welcome

Nicely done

Very nice video here.  

Nice movie! Great place to fly on abandoned things. Germany is full of them!
I did a chemical plant, an abandoned amusement park and Hitlers old hospital. And oh - the NSA facility on Devils mountain + a lots of other places

Thank you. Yes, it is full of restrictions here, although I have a commercial license. Makes something a little bit easier, but it is definitely awful enough.

Thanks, me too. I try to find some more. Have a new outdoor backpack, will be useful to discover more.

Thank you. The effect was done in post with After Effects and the Rotoscoping Tool. It is a "moving mask" on the duplicated clip.
Hope I can discover some places at the weekend, but now work is calling.
