We’ve been covering the Freedom Tower quite extensively, sharing documentaries, time lapse videos, renderings and even news the tower’s first major tenant. And, today, director Gaspard Giroud shared this amazing clip of the progress on the tower. Commissioned by Silverstein Properties, Piranha NYC, a motion graphic design and visual effects company, wrote, produced, art directed, filmed, and finished all vfx for this inspiring piece marking the 10th year anniversary of 9/11. The clip was then presented a few days ago at Tower 7 in the presence of Mayor Bloomberg. We love how the film condenses the building’s time lapse of construction – especially the reflections of the progress in car windows and even through the glass façade of a neighboring building. And, of course, it’s a beautiful thing to see people occupying the finished tower. What do you think of the film?

It seems to be some kind of propaganda movie- they (I even don’t who are the clients) trying to prove America’s power. Its quite old project and everybody seen it. Only thing which relates to 09/11 is the memorial and the tower name. So all this attention cant be created because of that. On the other hand- nice work merging real shots with rendered.
Why was Trade 7 demolished?
I bet they will watch out for airplanes. I wouldn’t move in the new buildings without thinking of that every day.
Unnecessary building, over the top footage, bad music
Larry Silverstain, probably the best guy in the world!
