The Shard Pierces the London Sky
The tallest building in western Europe, The Shard, was unveiled with a laser light show last week. The tower is owned by the Qatari royal family and is designed by Renzo Piano. It looms over other buildings in South London with a piercing, irregular pyramidal shape clad entirely in glass.
The Guardian: “The shard’s laser show lights London sky - video”
Tokyo Sundown
Filmmaker Mikey Pease made a short of the sun setting on Tokyo set to the bouncy soundtrack of the shop downstairs. This short film is a mini moving snapshot of the city coming to life, as the work day ends.
Pease won a BAFTA in 2011 for his short film “The Eagleman Stag”, an inventive stop motion animation made entirely from the foam found in chair seats.
