Aerial timelapse footage of a temporary tent being constructed in the Stardust parking lot. A crane lifts rooftop pieces in place while workers connect the tent structure from below. During the timelapse it rains, which obscures some of the video as drops apepar on the lens. The roof covering is added to the metal structure the following day. Smaller tents, off the side, are the last thing built. Original media VHS, color, aspect ratio 4 x 3, frame size 720 x 486.
