Good job, well done. Citywest might be a little bit out of place beside all the true Dublin, urban scenes, but it's a fantastic video, great work.
Richard Twomey 9 months ago

Thanks everyone, never expected such a response. Already planning the next one!

stunning. makes me even like dublin again :-|
John Tierney 9 months ago

Excellent! I really like the feeling of depth in many of the shots such as via clouds and stationary objects in the city shots paired with the camera movement.
Rob Ryan 9 months ago

Really excellent video, I don't have any jargon to throw out to describe the finer points of how well it was made as I don't understand the subtleties but I can safely say I dig it...Looking forward to the next one...

I think i saw you that night you shot 1:20 to 1:38 .
I shot time lapse on the other side of the road ( looking towards "Heineken buiilding" ) the other night .
Richard Twomey 9 months ago

I was there from about 9.15 to 11pm, if you see me out and about again come over and say hello.

Great job. Never seen Dublin this way!
David Connolly 9 months ago

Lovely work Richard, let me know if you're ever in London and we can hook up for some time-lapse action. Would love to know how you did the 180 deg timelapse on O'Connell Bridge? Makes Dublin look cool....
Richard Twomey 9 months ago

Thanks David, like your stuff of London btw. The panning shot was done with this: bit.ly/j12zuR
David Connolly 9 months ago

Thanks Richard, sorry, I should have read the description to your video before I asked how the panoramic shot was done! Nice touch, never seen it before in a time-lapse. Was it fairly straightforward to use with the 5D? Bit strapped for cash at the moment but think it would definetly be a worthwhile investment.

Keep up the good work!
Sean Burke 9 months ago

Amazing, probably a silly questions, but is this video sped up, or photo time lapse?
Richard Twomey 9 months ago

It's a photo time lapse, Sean. I shot over 11,000 Raw files with a Canon 5D and made video clips from each location.
Sean Burke 9 months ago

Cheers, I'm playing around with a GoProHD at the moment and want to rig up a DIY egg timer panning system!
Richard Twomey 9 months ago

Philip Bloom did some interesting stuff with a GoPro I think.

I have been totally taken aback by the response, not only from Dubliners but people all over the world.

Thank you to everyone who has gotten behind the video by tweeting, facebooking and sharing it with your friends. I've tried to respond to as many people as possible, sorry if you're still waiting for a reply. I'm working through the emails now!

Richard Twomey 5 months ago

Cheers. I had the camera velcroed to the dash with a black floor mat to kill reflections, nothing too fancy.
