Drone videos of the progress being made on Apple’s new Pentagon-size headquarters building — the one Steve Jobs described as looking like a spaceship had landed — have come a long way in the past six months.
Gone are the sound of the wind, the whine of the electric motors and the glimpse of the operator’s retreating arm. Now they are amateur productions with sound tracks, 4D video and, in the Vimeo below, flashbacks and annotation.
It’s drone videos like this — posted Sunday on AppleInsider with commentary by Daniel Eran Dilger — that make me want my own.
