drones capture empty elbphilharmonie by herzog & de meuron before opening

prior to its opening on january 11-12 of 2017, herzog and de meuron’s elbphilharmonie has released an interactive video captured by two drones — called ‘rock’ and ‘roll’ — that flew around the empty concert hall in hamburg. created by jung von matt agency in collaboration with gestalt communications, the technology gives viewers access to the stunning architecture of the landmark nicknamed ‘elphi’.

heading this article, you can see the different views of the two drones. the authors of the movie have then combined them to a single clip. slow or fast, the final version allows users to set the pace of the moving image — by clicking the space bar to speed it up — and releasing the bar to see it again in its original mode.
