The abandoned Manganese Ore (AKA) Three Kids Mine has a battle born history from 1917-1961.

In 2012, artist "Aware" entered the abandoned mining site just outside Las Vegas and painted a massive wheel, based on the American TV game show "Wheel of Fortune". Filmed in 2017, Various messages have been left on and around the wheel, from graffiti artists to visitors leaving messages of inspiration & misfortune.finished this video at a tragic time, I'd like to dedicate it to the lives lost on October 1st, 2017.

Great video. Loved the first half a lot.
After that (when the beat kicks in) I got a bit lost. The music got distracting and the shots were more or less repeating itself.
I would have tried a long fast flight over the site and took off high in the end and possibly stop there.
Where did you find the music?

that is seriously one of the best MP videos I've seen.....

I personally love the cinematic "darkness"

The whole vibe of mystery about abandoned mills/factories etc really interests me.

Thanks

What a great site to film.  I also found the moves too fast in several places.  Slower yaws would have helped a lot.  I know on one scene, when you were straight above the wheel and rotating fast, that you were simulating a roulette wheel.  That one was clever.  But many of the other quick moves simply started to make me dizzy.

Yes I agree it is a bit much! did not have much footage for the length of the audio, that one last flyover was pretty much it, it was a dusty location and such a windy day. Sometimes less is more Thanks for all the great feedback!
