It seems counter intuitive to use a crane, to build a crane, why not just use the first crane ? 

I don't even wanna know what this camera setup cost. This video quality is on a whole new level![]()

Not sure how 3 x 8k = 12k but okay
It literally explains how it is 12k in the link you provided.
Stitching camera arrays is sort of a technical art form as you battle all sorts of things related to camera position and optics. But there's a lot of power behind having this much captured resolution and detail. Above is the general workflow I ran through. Selecting a take and extracting Left, Middle, and Right cameras angles I experimented with a few different ways to stitch the motion, but I always targeted a Equirectangular Projection first and chose to change the projection to rectilinear (like a normal spherical lens) and crop into a standard DCI 1.9:1 Aspect Ratio. In this case the format would be considered DCI 12K.
I don't find it a suitable explanation
That's higher than the highest mountain here in the UK by a few feet
Yes it is, by elevation![]()
Nope... please do quote figures if you think otherwise. The highest mountain in the UK is over 4000 ft, a hill becomes a mountain at just under 2000ft, your youtube video description mentions some tower just under 2000 ft.
