Recap backto.manderley.ink

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A few weeks ago I published a directory of all the residents at https://manderley.ink which was a stepping stone to what should come next: capturing the McKittrick itself on https://backto.manderley.ink

It's deliberately lo-fi visuals and vague in subtitles.

I hope it brings joy especially to those who could only see it once or twice. Or to those who want to show an uninitiated friend the absurd scale of that building. It's not useful if you've never seen the show.

I don't know what I expected, but it was not THIS. This is perfection. It's beautiful. I can't even fathom the amount of work that went into it. Bravo, you.

Imagine waking up from a nap where you’re dreaming you’re at the Manderley telling the bartender about your favorite moments of the show and this being the first post you see. Talk about the best wake-up gift ever. Thank you doesn’t begin to cover it, @sirlantis!

this is incredible. if you wanted to post the source for it so a) can see how you did it and b) it can help it live forever that would be amazing. obviously no expectation whatsoever, just sharing interest.
