Haunting and desperate, an ode to the near-future desert ghost city.

People can't just learn from their ancestors mistakes. Instead of taking all their fortune and building something intelligent, sustainable, and long-term, they practically employ slave labor to construct yet another architectural representation of the human-ego.

I think music choice (although i like it the music) was a serious fail for this video. Quite tame video footage for such "epic" music. Music completely over sells the video footage. Just made the video hard to enjoy.

I swear, Dubai is no different than a Sim City creation.

Start the video at 1:15 elapsed and it works better with the music.

Only---it sort was/is.

This place will look like an abandoned amusement park within our lifetimes.

So distracted by the dust on the sensor. It's obvious in almost every shot.

When I become a rich Oil Sheik, I too will build a glorious city with one huge building in the shape of a giant cock such as to shout to the Gods : "MINE... IS... BIGGER!!"
