This is a movie made by using the oblique aerial photos. You will find images of Ishinomaki city (Miyagi prefecture) before and after the quake.
This movie was modified to provide a visual comparison of the Ishinomaki city with the left showing the city before and the right, after the Quake. The postseismic visual is a 3D textured rendition using the oblique aerial images (Pictometry). The oblique perspective shows how the buildings have disappeared. The 3D modeling on the video was done by PLW (U.S.) using the aerial photos taken by the KOKUSAI KOGYO GROUP.
