Southerly · Flyover lab

The flyover, five ways

Same ending every time, your real dawn drone footage of the valley. What differs is how you get there. Flip through, kill the ones that don't land, tell me the winner.

No map at all. A title card ("Southerly · three hours from Sydney") opens like a film, then straight into the real footage. The quiet, confident one.
2 · GlobeOpen →
A zoom from space: the Earth from orbit, down to Australia, to Sydney, then a pan north to the valley, before the footage. The "wow" opener.
3 · Live 3D flightOpen →
A real-time terrain flythrough from Sydney to the valley over 3D relief (no pre-rendered video this time), then the footage. The immersive one.
4 · Cinematic mapOpen →
A rich, textured satellite-map journey, real land under the route, camera travelling Sydney to the valley with labels. The documentary one (the un-lame map).
5 · Google 3DOpen →
Photorealistic Google 3D tiles, a true game-engine flythrough. Built ready for a key; without one it just plays the footage so it is never broken.

Every model ends on the real footage and hands off to the Living Map. Built overnight, 24 Jul.
