Watching Lake Michigan Ice Break Away is Surprisingly Cool The first few seconds of this video aren't that exciting, but wait for it. It does not disappoint. If you want to make sure I watch your video, shoot it from high above. I love all drone videos and footage shot from the top of big buildings. It's a vantage point we just don't get to see very often. Plus, I'm afraid of heights, so the only way I'm seeing Lake Michigan like this is from a camera. This video was shot with WGN TV's camera on top of the Chicago's Hancock center.
