If I understand it correctly, the idea that cladding would appear on Nov 6 is based on a post by Duboy, which could ambiguously refer to November 6 or November 2006. I personally think he meant November 2006 because he wrote it as '06 which usually means short for 2006, and also because November 6 came and went without cladding. Either way, we definitely should be seeing cladding start some time this month, as Duboy historically is a reliable source.

ziMer · November 7th, 2006, 07:47 PM

this pic clearly shows the height diff between BD (<280) and Bright Start Tower (280M) also known as Millenium Tower. the pic has also been shot from a very good spot . the margin of error will be negligible from this angle.
i feel BD requires 2 more floors to surpass the Millenium tower ..

have ur say ..

malec · November 7th, 2006, 11:05 PM

Well, it should have surpassed it now anyway since it has 82 floors. Millenium tower's probably just closer

Imre · November 7th, 2006, 11:05 PM

yes ... from Nad Al Sheeba

Bikes · November 7th, 2006, 11:24 PM

Agreed with Malec, also the picture is leaning, so Millenium looks even taller from this place...

take me on your list and in case you don't have the megaprojects video, i can send you also so that you can upload it on your server (if you have one) it would make it much easier for people to download.

remember it will be a hell of a lot work for you.

you could also contact SSC forumer Bikes who has several Dubai websites up and running, he might want to assist you.

Thanks 'flo. I thought you might

I do have the 772mb version. If you have a bigger file size that would be cool too!

I also have the latest Magix Movie edit pro, so if you need any help with the next vid...v3...

I also have a high speed server so with your blessing, I would put it on the site as a high speed download as well as a full quality streaming version for those with good bandwidth for both WMP and Quicktime.

As my company is also involved in VT production and pre-viz 3D animation (including websites, gaming architecture, portals, business platforms, 3D modelling, flash animation etc), I might be able to do any post production tidying, syncro, etc you encounter any problem with.

I also specialize in link farms and I have clients who have large travel agents websites dedicated for travel in Dubai, so there will be plenty of free advertising and backlinking to please Mr Googlebot and the other search engine spiders. I'll make sure I have someone constantly optimising the site to make sure it's number one on Google for certain keywords, as I hate to do things by halves.

I'll add your MSN address to mine and I'm sure we'll chat soon.

Thanks.

If you're going to use a picture as a diagram to highlight your theory....then make sure you use the background buildings to orient yourself to see if the camera was straight.

Look what happens when you straighten the photo

This photo is old remember......now it's definately over 290m

elliot · November 8th, 2006, 12:05 AM

Everybody looks so sad and tired.

Ah fu$@!#&k 'em. They should never have left Bangalore. ;-)

Calvin W · November 8th, 2006, 03:16 AM

Put up some glass soon! It is starting to remind me of that abandoned hotel in North Korea.
