excellent video. so much has changed since then.

Looks like you opened with the fuel tanks down in East Boston / Revere area. As the Tobin Bridge is in the background. The silhouette of the old Boston Edison plant across from where the current Encore Casino is. And the old water tower I believe of Assembly Square(mall area) And the triangular watch tower at the Orange Line Wellington station MBTA station. Then in next video pan to the Charles River going up river from the Longfellow Bridge above the Charles River showing Kendall Square in Cambridge, Mass and going upriver along Memorial Drive. The next video pan is to the Boston neighbourhood of Back Bay showing Beacon Street and associated public alleys next to the Charles River. Then sweeping up Commonwealth Ave. with the large parkland running down the middle of the brownstone houses of BackBay. The next video shot is the John Hancock Tower being built with the Trinity Church at Copley Square. The Next is the Prudential Plaza before the entire mall was made indoors.

This could have been a better film showcasing Boston by recording with sound during the spring, summer and autumn, and providing a narration of what the viewer is looking at. Instead we get grainy footage with no sound to show Londoners to convince them that Lindon is not so bad after all.

Not a good video at all. Worst time of year to film, starts out with Chelsea, Everett and Cambridge… then snowy rooftops of back bay, culminating in the incomplete not yet iconic Hancock tower. Oh yeah and no sound? How is this a great video again? As a lifelong Bostonian… dreamlike vagueness of Bostons environs. So much missing here.
