Dear community, I have just finished a new project: NYC Observatories. It is a complete, cinematic journey through the best views in the city, from the Statue of Liberty to the heights of Central Park Tower. I have updated the pacing to be slower and more deliberate for a relaxing viewing experience. I hope you enjoy these sights from above.

Headline: Discover Virginia like never before! 🌲✈️
I’m excited to share the first video in my 50 states series: Virginia in 3D.
I’ve been working hard to capture the unique geography of the state, from the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains to the intricate river networks. This one was a labor of love to render—I hope you enjoy seeing the Old Dominion from a completely new angle.
Watch the full 3D journey here:

Let me know in the comments: Which part of Virginia should I explore next?

Headline: A Quick Note to My Community – Thank You for the Feedback!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the recent influx of notifications regarding my NYC and D.C. documentaries. I’ve been hard at work refining these projects based on your incredibly valuable feedback, and I got a bit over-eager in sharing those updates with you. I truly appreciate your patience and support as I strive to make these as perfect as possible.
What’s New:
I’ve gone back through the New York and Washington D.C. projects to specifically focus on:
Slower, more cinematic pacing: Giving you more time to take in the landmarks.
Smoother camera paths: Creating a more natural, fluid experience as we glide through these cities from above.
Added Detail: I’ve specifically added a new segment for Fifth Avenue in the NYC documentary to capture more of that iconic city spirit you’ve been asking for.
Your comments have been the driving force behind these improvements, and I hope the new versions offer a much more immersive experience.
What’s Next:
I’m officially moving into the next phase of the Flying Atlas project. I’m currently scouting and planning my next aerial documentary, which will likely focus on the stunning landscapes and historic sites of Virginia. I can’t wait to share what I’m working on next.
Thank you for being part of this journey, for your honesty, and for sticking with me. I’ll make sure to be much more mindful of how I share future updates so you only see the projects when they’re ready for their final bow.
Onwards and upwards!

About my videos
Some viewers have asked whether my city videos are AI-generated.
My videos are created using Google Earth Studio and video editing software. The cities, buildings, roads, and landmarks come from Google Earth's 3D mapping data. I manually plan the camera routes, select locations, add labels, edit the footage, and choose the music.
These videos are virtual aerial tours and geographic visualizations rather than AI-generated videos created from text prompts.
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel!

I’m trying to make the BEST “From Above in 3D” videos on YouTube.
But I need your help…
If you could change ONE thing in my videos, what would it be?
