Stephen Wiltshire: Drawing Tokyo from memory


This is a 7 minute documentary of Stephen Wiltshire - The 'Human Camera' - on a trip to Tokyo. Stephen is an autistic guy from London who draws things from memory and especially likes skyscrapers. Here, he takes a 30 minute helicopter ride over Tokyo then spends a week drawing the city from memory. The final work is a 360 degree panorama that's 10 meters long. Click play to see how accurate it looks...



Throughout the 7 days Stephen sketched from morning to evening. He seemed to be so fascinated that only his 6 o'clock beep from his watch could stop him for the day. A special canvas had been set up in Seijo Studio for the occassion where the camera crew could follow Stephen's every movements.


Stephen has more work and stories at his site stephenwiltshire.co.uk.

thats pretty impressive, but I have to say i'm sceptical as to exactly how accurate it is

We never actually got to see a comparison live shot superimposed or anything like that... its a great picture, but is it really Tokyo?
