Quickfire demolition in 48 hours

A unique quick-fire demolition of the eight-storey URS House in Christchurch. The building owners have chosen to demolish it rather than repair, and they are managing the demolition works privately.

Timelapse: Before the quake

This video is a remembrance of how Christchurch looked, and of lives that have changed forever. It was filmed by Lukas Kaupenjohann over two years ago, just before earthquakes ravaged the city. The exchange student filmed with friends taking more than 10.000 photos to make the movie; the stills were shot in about 2 weeks and the post production took him about one month.
