Love this. Thanks for sharing these vids! Love seeing the planning and all of it going up. I’m jealous!!!! It must be amazing being a part of making Burning Man. Hats off, that’s a lot of work!

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

@Shalaco 5 жыл бұрын

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.

With my disability the videos of burning man will sadly be the closest i will get to being there. Awesome video!

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

What's everyone doing for Burning Man 2020?

@davidwilliss5555 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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

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

@BeCoShooter 6 жыл бұрын

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?

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