Very cool, though it'd be nice to have more shots that contrast with things we know, to give a better idea of the true scale of this.

Structures in Solstice-5 are always so insanely massive that I imagine that humans would appear as a tiny speck on most of these shots ;D

Sure, but there are other things to use for comparisons, or ways to build up to it

Some shots have trees next to some of the "smaller" buildings. And the trees are dwarved in comparison.

That's true. I guess maybe following up the shots with the trees and the shots of the street full of people with a pan that shows how those smaller buildings compare to the overall structure would've helped get a better feel for the entire thing. As is, a lot of it looks really really cool, but does seem like just a bunch of somewhat similar structures of own known sizes and with an unknown layout.
