One-week construction time-lapse with closeups: Week 5 of the Ⓢ-series

Week 5 in the ongoing Ⓢ series, which follows the construction of a new 13-story senior living building in San Francisco. This is a #construction #timelapse with various closeups and "sub-time-lapses" at various speeds, condensing the week of March 2 - 7, 2020, into about 35 minutes.

This is the first week with the new #towercrane at the site, and we see some checking as it gets ready and starts working. The base time-lapse camera is so close to the site that I chose to focus in on the ground-level site itself, rather than getting in the whole crane in the base video, because the site just becomes too small when zoomed all the way out, plus there is an aspect ratio issue). You can see the base time-lapse zoomed all the way out at the very end.

There's more foundation excavation (including the old 1891 foundation that we saw last week), and some precision #excavator work to level out the bottom of the site, just in time for a concrete pour. There are trucks being loaded, and various other people doing various other interesting things. At the end, some concrete sawing with a remote-controlled saw.

This episode almost didn't make it, due to some internal technical problems that I won't go into here, plus a few mistakes/mishaps on my part, plus lack of time on my part. But I made it. Among the technical problems is that the clocks on the various cameras got out of sync somehow, so you may occasionally see some time mismatches between the closeups and the base video.
