The Death of Irish Blogging - a parody news report for the Irish Blog Awards 2010

Is Irish Blogging dead? We hit the streets of Dublin to find out.

The intro video for the Irish Blog Awards was based on/taken from Charlie Brooker's "How to report the news" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHun58mz3vI, scripted by Anthony McGuinness (http://www.doyouknowanto.com), shot and edited by Jen Davis (http://www.thatsjentertainment.com) and starring people from the streets of Dublin.

Thanks to everyone involved, especially Miriam O Callaghan for the cameo, to Jen for her amazing work on this and the Irish Blog Awards Team for allowing it to play.

Thank you Charlie Brooker, Newswipe and BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qbyth

Is this an intentional rip off of screen wipe? Because it's scene for scene.

Heya, yes, pretty much completely intentional. Pulled together in 4 days so we went with what we could, how we could :)

Miriam O'Callaghan and Mamo Davis in the same report. How much of my tax euro went into funding this report?

Absolutely brilliant guys. Well done.
