Synopsis
This is a video that is shown at the Roppongi Hills complex in downtown Tokyo, Japan and also available as a DVD (from which this was ripped). It is not a comprehensive view of Tokyo by any means, although there are several shots that give a good sense of the urban
sprawl that is Tokyo. It is a technical tour-de-force and quite entertaining.

It is easy to describe but hard to convey the visual experience. Basically it is a fly over
view of several areas in and around Tokyo. It is shot with a very high-tech gyro stabilizing zoom lens that allows for a small area, perhaps 20M x 20M, to be zoomed in on from a great height but the image is still rock steady. At various times the image is overlaid with some graphics that suggest a targeting device, some text, and accompanied by audio that is supposedly from the scene.

The stills included are selected from one scene and give a very rough impression of a zoom in and out sequence. The sequence focuses on the Kannon Sensoji Temple in Asakusa.
