    Alex.

    I've spent my whole life in and around London and am about to leave to move abroad for a few years. I'm gong to miss this city.

    Your movie is stunning. Seriously, it's incredible. The dedication this took to achieve is admirable and I'm glad you loved London enough to put something like this together. Superb

    Hi Alex, lovely video. I've also recently moved away from London so this was a cool reminder of the amazing city that is. I quite enjoyed the views from the top deck of the buses, and reminding myself about the sheer number of people! I made this vimeo.com/2249146 it's a juggling video filmed around London - you might like! Happy days, take it easy.

    I've watched this video every day for the last 3 days and each time it makes me choke with pride so I have to post a comment.
    Alex, you have created something very special indeed. The imagery is truly spectacular, the colours are glorious, the framing is perfect. But most importantly I really do think you have managed to capture the heart of the greatest city in the world (and that's coming from an Aussie!).
