@xergiok2322 2 года назад

The Tower of London is hardly gothic. It's in typical Norman style, so therefore romanesque. The bridge is in gothic revivalist style because that was sort of the 19th century romanticised view of medieval architecture. Rather than matching the style of the Tower, it's more of an idealised attempt at creating this (faux-)medieval milieu.

London in the 1840s: Look! We built a tunnel under a river! Meanwhile the Babylonians: *What took you guys so long?! We waited so long for someone else to build one that we died off* Let's be honest, the Olympic Rings being installed temporarily for the 2012 Summer Olympics was the yassification of Tower Bridge. A shame the installation wasn't permanent

I'm lucky enough to have been in the tower subway. You can only really get half way across now. Went down when I was making a TV show about London's bridges and tunnels. This is almost certainly far more entertaining than my show though. I also got to open tower bridge and stand in it's counterweight chambers when the bridge lifted (really quite frightening).

@pk3ndl3r 2 года назад

That is very cool (in a nerdy interesting sort of way). Would love to see that 🙂

@Atomicsuplex 2 года назад

@@pk3ndl3r took a lot of health and safety paperwork as I recall. Also had to coincide with some other maintenance work being done on the tower subway as we could not afford the man power to so all the safety precautions just for us. I probably didn't appreciate what a great show that was to write and film for at the time. The day we filmed up Big Ben I couldn't be bothered to go. I did however get to sit on Nelson's head in Trafalgar Square and stand on the roof of the new Heathrow airport control tower.

I remember there being an episode of Blue Peter at the time that the London Eye was being built where one of the presenters accompanied a pod being brought up the river on a barge. He was disappointed that Tower Bridge didn't need to open to let them through, but as the Eye was being built next to Westminster Bridge, the barge carrying the pod would've needed to fit under all the bridges downstream of there, so if it had been too big to pass under Tower Bridge without it having to open then it wouldn't have been able to pass under the bridges between it and Westminster either!

3:29 this my favourite sight gag in a while, and I got thinking about how you might have done it. it looks like Jay and the left side of the background slow down to make the sound desync, but then the seagull on the right side as well as the people walking up top don't slow down, so you must've stitched two background shots to make it work? But even then I can't find a seam or jump cut that gives it away. I've been slowly learning video editing over the past few months but haven't messed with filming my own footage yet so this really blew my mind.

@tree51 2 года назад

oh god I think I found one of the seams: theres another seagull to the right of the close one but behind the boat that looks like it disappears at the corner of the bridge support right at the start of the shot

@JayForeman 2 года назад

You’ll kick yourself when I reveal how simple it is… For the trick to work, you don’t need to edit the visuals at all, only the audio. HOWEVER….. I wasn’t happy with the timing of the joke, so I *DID* have to do some trickery so that I could do some time-remapping on my performance without disturbing the background. There are three elements stitched together. 1. Me, 2. the people on the bridge (easy), and 3. that stupid bloody bird!! So, well done for looking in the right places, but the only thing in that clip that has been slowed down is me.
