This comprehensive pack offers a breathtaking aerial tour of Birmingham's canals, a city with more miles of waterways than Venice, and the birthplace of Britain's industrial heritage. The footage, captured entirely with a drone, provides a unique perspective on the city's complex and layered character. You'll see stunning high views and dynamic reveals of the city centre, including iconic landmarks like The Cube, the Black Sabbath Bridge, the HMRC building, and the new octagonal skyscraper, The Octagon, which is now the tallest building in Birmingham.

The collection masterfully contrasts the old with the new and the rich with the poor. It showcases affluent areas like Gas Street Basin with its narrowboats and waterfront pubs, alongside run-down residential tower blocks and areas just outside of town marked by graffiti and industrial heritage. The footage also covers key infrastructure, such as the chaos of Spaghetti Junction, HS2 works, and views of trains and trams, providing a complete picture of a bustling, evolving city. From low, abstract views of water reflections to wide, generic establishing shots, this pack has it all, capturing the vibrant life of cyclists and people, alongside the forgotten warehouses and factories that tell the story of the city's past.
