Story
Nestled in one of the most popular residential areas in Abu Dhabi, this residential tower of 29 floors reaches over 126 metres in height.
In blazing sunshine our team set up a series of GoPro, timelapse, and realtime cameras to handle filming CoxGomyl’s smart access solutions, which had to work in harmony with the buildings design. Two fixed BMU’s adeptly covered half the building, but at CG’s request we concentrated our production on their more complex machines, which provided access under the building’s large overhanging soffit. Equipped with a three-stage telescopic arm, with a reach of 25.5 mtrs; an approaching system with a forward luff cradle enables the unit to move forward into the recessed facade through a counterbalance action. Perched on our rooftop and balcony locations we captured the performance of these amazing machines and produced a 1min 30sec sizzle video for website and promotional use.
