1. Can you hold the camera still for more than 2 second? You need more time to get a grasp on the whole of these type of buildings, but you constantly switch angles. Stand still a bit, please.
2. Sounds like an epic voice-over for the next blockbuster hit, not a narration of architectural prowess...
3. Such fast cuts... It would be great to be able to see the building in slow pans instead. It's a major monument of the mid 20th century and deserves to be seen in the best possible way.
