City Solstice

[eofios]

Hey Ronan, this is really brilliant! I've spent a lot of life/career trying to understand the solstice phenomena at passage tombs like Newgrange adn elsewhere and I just think this project is so fitting. I find myself going back to watch this vid over and over, Keep on keeping on man, great work.

@eofios

thanks, very glad you like it enough for repeat viewing

[davorell]

Very Cool, Great stuff Ronan. Your madness never ceases to amaze me ;)

[TheLateLate]

What a marvellous project - congrats! Wonderful to see the historic buildings of the city being showcased in this innovative way. Hard to believe these have been Protected Structures for the past twelve years, given the appalling state they have been left in over that time by their owners, not to mention the poor redevelopments proposed for them over the years.

[MrRonanCoyle]

If it happens again I'll do an earlier posting of the event. this one was very last minute.

thanks for all the positivity!

[cdivision]

great!

Hi Ronan,

Great idea and really nice video. What track is this that's playing in the background. I know it's Sean Carpio but what's the name of the song/album?

Nice work again, man.

[MrRonanCoyle]

Wow, lovely encouragement from everyone, thanks!

I'll try and be better at publicising if I do another.

[davidoffon]

@MrRonanCoyle Jesus, go back and do it again, I'm not sure quite how you did it but it is simply wonderful, with the emphasis on simply!! If I knew it was to be done again, I would travel over and beyond the imaginations limitations!!

[estheromd]

this is gorgeous: i walk by this building almost every day: vell done!

[pajopixel]

really good, love it.

[SJM]

Like you, and many others, i pass that building regularly and see it lying idle. (Even during the building frenzy years) - and often thought there shoudkl be a "use it or lose it" rule on buildings with that kind of history & potential. Glad you highlighted the building / the window and created a neat piece of art all at once. 10/10

This is great Ronan! ...but why haven't you aged at all? - John Miller

[dmeredith]

Love this. I've wondered about that window for about 20 years. Congratulations. Nice work and some beautiful effects.

[stanthecameraman]

Looks really good, shame i didn't know about it at the time. But congrats. - declan b

[madjoyfish]

beautiful. lovely idea.

[FeenishProductions]

fantastic. Brilliant, in every sense!

[MrRonanCoyle]

Hi ebairead, the project was a bit last minutey but I got in touch with as mouch Earleys as I could, no one was 100% sure who designed that actual window, Any ideas?

[ebairead]

I always knew the stained glass was brilliant - it was the HQ of Earley's,

and their best stained glass is amongst the finest in Ireland (btw, Willy Pearse worked for them)

but Ronan has made it even more spectacular.

Their archive of designs is in NCAD - the url is nival dot ncad dot ie slash earley

[ebairead]

Well Done - Eoin

[1969bjb]

Living Art. Love it, well done.

[MrRonanCoyle]

thanks everyone. I'm prtetty sure it's protected, there's a new roof on the building and all

[TheToddzer]

Who'd have thought such beauty was just waiting to be switched-on in this derelict building? Beautiful work Ronan. I do hope the City Fathers have seen fit to have a preservation order on it.

[TheSmidgeon]

Love love love this. Thanks Ronan.

[Paphmot]

A beautiful little documentary on an even more beautiful animation project. Well done to all, let's hope it goes viral!

[niamhdavis]

'Who's projecting that light - God?'! Love it! AMAZING WORK!!

[TheZoefitz]
