[Video footage]

A widescreen still aerial photo of the site of the Panama Canal expansion five years earlier, an expanse of gravel and sand all that is to be seen of the large construction site.

Zoom towards frame-left and beyond, to an area of the building site beyond which the canal is visible. Time lapse footage begins at this point, showing vessels moving in fast motion up and down the canal, construction and earth moving vehicles moving to and fro on the gravel road surfaces.

The camera pans slightly towards frame-right as the time lapse footage continues, showing large vessels moving down the canal, to and from the construction site, as the site begins to change.

Pull back to wider aerial angle of the canal, parts of the construction site and the surrounding landscape. Time-lapse footage continues as the building site slowly changes shape.

Aerial footage of the main construction site as the expansion starts. The camera zooms to a closer view of the site, now bustling with vehicles and filled with temporary construction structures.

Cuts to closer aerial footage of a section of the construction site as crane structures form and other structures are put in place.

Panning aerial footage up the length of the canal expansion, bustling with activity, construction vehicles, cranes and other structures.
