Capturing Our Capital

Mint Aero

All I get from this video is;

Tracksuits.
Homelessness.
Destitution.
Middle finger rudeness.
Theft.

What does it say to you? I wonder what a similar video in other European cities would be like

Probably;

Affluence.
Good Looks.
Friendliness.
Charm.
Politeness.

It wasn't all bad. Although there were some bad moments (and a lot of pigeons).

Good idea for a project though. just leave cameras around the place and pick them up later. Wonder what it would be like in temple bar on a Friday night.

Bored me senseless tbh.

Ah thats a nice video

I dont know it does make you think i like how "normal" the people who took the photos are.
While not skipping over the real issues around I wonder what the guy with the beard would say if he seen this would he be ashamed or was his gesture some form of revolutionary statement? All in all I think it was a good project shows a small scence of spirit in it.

You didn't need this video to tell you that.

Fairly balanced video, pretty accurate of day to day Dublin.

Not a complete shthole but not Paris/Abu Dhabi/Vegas either.

Somewhere in the middle, just above Glasgow and Gaza.

That's 7 minutes of my life wasted. 7 minutes I can't afford to lose. Totally pointless.

I thought that was a lovely video. Some really nice pics taken and showed what people are like - posers, drunks, ordinary joe soaps etc.

Uncle Ruckus

The locations are pretty selective. It seems most of the footage was from the northside so it only shows half the story.

Tracksuits as in people wareing tracksuit about 10. If you meant 'tracksuit' aka 'undesirables' maybe 3
Homeless 3
Destitution? Eh very subjective but same as homeless? 3
Middle finger rudeness 3
Theft didn't see any
Happy people lots, nice cityscapes lots, happy group shots lots.

Fair play to the director for giving a balanced view of the city. Of course some will focus solely on the 'Outrageous' waring of the 'wrong' clothing and my owe my did my monocle ever fall when the young chap made a rude jesture.

I liked it, it was a lot better that most of the videos you see posted on youtube about people getting the ****e kicked out of them on a Saturday night in Dublin

The guy stole the camera and yer one had to run after him to retrieve it. Wouldn't blame ya if you fell asleep and missed that bit.

Have you ever been to Vegas? It's a gigantic shithole

Paris isn't all its cracked up to be either, outside of the touristy areas at least.

Never been to Abu Dhabi but it has its own very obvious problems too.

Yeah, Dublin is the only capital city in the world with homeless people and drunks.

Go back to the Daily Mail, OP.

Well in all fairness he does have a point, Homelessness and drunkenness is not the sole domain of Dublin

Nice little video imo. Even the lads who nicked the camera were okay and gave it back to the lady fairly quick. Shame the OP is dead set on only seeing the negatives things.
