very nice footage...I have never seen that before. What is the significance of the statue?

Its built out of steel that puts a rust layer on but does not corrode.

The designer Antony Gormley had his significance for it.
Quote from Wikipedia
"According to Gormley, the significance of an angel was three-fold: first, to signify that beneath the site of its construction, coal miners worked for two centuries; second, to grasp the transition from an industrial to an information age, and third, to serve as a focus for our evolving hopes and fears"

It's a beautiful structure

Very nice Video and great music too, well done.

May I ask what you used to edit it?

Also, did you use the 'point of interest' mode? When i tried this my phone crashed midway through (also a note 4). I used the return to home on the controller and all was fine but a bit scary!
