London Shot panning up the memorial, w/scaffolding erected beside it. Closer view of 2 workers perched among the incredibly ornate towers and spires - extreme even for Victorian architecture. MCU the 2 men use brushes to clean of the ornate carving of leaves and berries(?). Shot looking almost straight down at worker holding onto carving w/one hand while cleaning w/ the other. Shot looking downward at the patterned stone "floor" around the monument, and at sidewalk and street beyond. Workers climbing down steep slope of part of the structure, holding onto carving. MS worker stretching to wipe trim around one of the 4 triangular paintings. LS 4 men up on the building; looks like 2 are holding up a 3rd who is cleaning a bauble resembling a big magic lamp at the apex of one of the triangles. Wider shot of memorial, showing it's breadth but not all its height. Shot looking out from the tower toward the Royal Albert Hall w/part of memorial seen in rt. FG. MCU another worker hanging on and cleaning. Wide shot looking out over park at trees, bushes, pedestrians strolling on sidewalks. Wide shot showing pinnacle of tower. | |
