It was beautifully done – an effective use of the technology.

As for the blog Digital Urban, its simply because its where we work and therefore if we have a new technique to try out it is easy to use a London scene.

All the techniques obviously work regardless of location and we aim to have a balance by featuring a selection of work outside of the UK and indeed London.

The latest post for example is on Chicago so we hope we have both a global and local focus… (?)

Hopefully the next episodes of Britain from Above will feature slightly more of Britain itself.

Of course Mininova could be somewhere to look for it after Sunday….

I have been looking at BBC Britain from above

But none (15:15 CET) of the small visualization videos is working here from Denmark. Does you know if BBC block video content for people outside UK? Or it’s also not live yet in UK?

I got the error message when trying to play the videos “This doesn’t seem to be working. Try again later.”
