    Great set, theres a sense of loss to it (the pigeon in the stained glass.), we just don't build like that anymore, just glass palaces for volkswagons.

    That boiler is amazing, its like Iron Mans head.

    Really good, but I think the images change to fast.

    Great video. 28 Theme music adds a lot to it, too. Great choice.


    The pictures are excellent, too. Must be just an abandoned house/area you went to? (I'm not familiar with Cork. I've never been there).

    I think it would have benefitted greatly with some empty/abandoned photos of what should otherwise be really busy locations (ie; photos of shops, streets, etc.). Though you'd probably have to venture out at about 3, 4, or 5 AM to get such pictures.


    Still though, that's me wandering off topic. It's a great video, and I must disagree with Chorcai, I like the speed of the images. Fair enough, they don't last long enough to get a good look at them, but if they were any slower, I think the video would have been a little bit tedious or something.

    A Flickr account or something like that with the photos would be a good idea, for people who want a better look at the photos themself, perhaps?

    Fav has to be the pristine white statue of Mary amid unkempt grass and dwarfed by the boarded up dirty hulk of a building behind her - poignant.

    There's Esso Garage on Douglas as you can see,Our Ladys Mental Hospital and The Good Shepherd Magdalen Laundry in slideshow.The idea of contrast is nice but it's harder to find that type of locations.The speed is like you said,not too long and not to slow either,you're getting atmosphere for loss of details,that was the plan.I don't have Flickr,wasn't actually thinking about getting an account there.
