December construction video update. Enjoy!

Pt 1


Pt 2

[UnFrSaKn]

First National graffiti is at 2:30 in Part 2.

Anyone help me spot the construction webcam in Oklahoma Tower? It's at 8:30 in Part 2.

By the way, Vimeo is having HD issues so the quality of all videos aren't what they should be. They're "working with their technicians to fix it."

As always, thanks for those incredible videos William! Saw tons of things you simply can't see on the webcams.

Looks like they've started on the auditorium (foreground):

Arent spires used in calculating building heights?This is for anyone who can answer it because The first National is 493'ft tall to The spire and 446'ft tall to The roof!In either case The FNC is currently OKC's second tallest! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_N...(Oklahoma_City) here is alist of OKC's tallest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._Oklahoma_City

How could I miss that? I check this thread everyday!

We are the original source, lol. Although, I might have posted one pic over there that I never did here. Hard to tell.



In regards to the graffiti, my coworker said it best... What's the point?? That's like getting a tattoo of a freckle on your body!



I didn't know the cam was that close to the west wall of the Oklahoma Tower. I figured it was set closer to the east side...

[UnFrSaKn]

I think it's not far above Corporate Tower on the far east side. Didn't double check beforehand. I'll look closer next time.

It's 3 levels below the vents, 5 1/2 windows over from the west side...

I had to jack your photo to make it visible...

That's actually just someone's trophy.
I had to zoom in just to see what it was from that distance. I'm pretty sure I completely missed it. My fault.

[UnFrSaKn]

Seems like they fixed the video quality issues.

[OKCisOK4me]

I had a dream you were going to post one of these today, lol.

Oh well. I figured it was the cam because in the afternoon hours when the sun is low, you can see its reflection in the window and that trophy looks to be the same size. Who knows. Like I said, I figured the cam to be more east than west since it lines up pretty good with the west face of the building (according to Google Maps) that houses IKON Office Solutions.

Very nice photo thanks for posting!!! Man what a great morning sky and winter tones of the landscape! Beautiful!

[dmoor82]

^^Sweet pic!Thanx 4 postin it!

[Dustin]

Dulahey, Please take a picture in the exact same spot when the tower is finished!

[OKCisOK4me]

That's a nice morning shot.

[ledman96]

I can not tell you everything but it will be very exciting and highly visible when done. The design team had some brilliant ideas for this lighting and when fully operational i suspect you all will cheer!

[Dulahey]

I will try to take pictures from that spot more frequently. My last one was over a month ago. I actually took another one this morning since it was so cloudy. It was a bit darker than normal.

But I wanted to post that this morning as I was heading north on I-35 onto I-235 the entire bottom 5 or 6 floors of glass were lit up red on the SE side of the tower. For being about a mile away it looked pretty nifty and was very bright. When the whole tower is lit, it's going to be VERY bright.

Grinning ear to ear!!!! Can you give any hints or testing times!!!

Just go there every night and wait somewhere. They are working on it each night as more glass panes are installed.

What a brilliant idea - shall we set up shifts?

[OKCisOK4me]

Notice on each side of the light posts in the middle of the picture. On the right, Devon, and its elevator cores. On the left, Oklahoma, and the top of its mechanical housing. I took this photo 15 minutes ago on my way to work.




Also, I noticed that they've windowed up the 7th floor of the NW corner of the building. There went my theory about the lip and waiting for the rotunda to be fully built...
