I remember the day we shot this footage. Probably one of the most interesting story shoots I have ever worked on while working in TV News. Hopefully they keep the original Hall Lanterns, the same as the ones in the Empire State Building.

Before it was condos I was obsessed with this building. I have lived in RVA for 40 years. I was lucky enough to go to a weird art exhibition there and take some pictures. I used to tell myself that I want to die in this building, lol, now I can’t afford to. There is a lot of cool things about this place! The CNB neon sign would tell you the weather and the running joke of building it was that it finally was built just in time for the bankers to jump off it when the recession hit. I love the old vault room and the passenger elevators. I’m sure it’s different now though.

Wow, 77 amps at 240 volts to run that motor... That would surely knock your socks off, if it weren't properly grounded :)

Is it just me, or does your camera drop frames in low light conditions?

+JoshCraver9000 this was on an older camera. the camera switches to 30FPS in lower light also, final cut and AVCHD dont mix well :(
