Boy of the Afterthought: Dead Cold Quiet

Taking time out and doing something different. Here’s the video for Dead Cold Quiet, the new single by Boy of the Afterthought. We filmed it all in one day and with one day of editing it was online.

I’ve worked with singer, guitarist Aaron John several years back, on the video for the single Death Tonight. Thankfully since then Internet video quality has improved tenfold.

Video Rush: Ireland’s Ghost Estates

There are some 300,000 new homes lying empty all across Ireland. Built in the booming era of the Celtic Tiger the crash has left these ghost estates devoid of life, eerily resembling a 21st century English zombie movie set. This video rush shows some of the abandoned estates and retail areas.

Video Rush: An Alternative Dublin

Ireland is a country of 4.5 million, where 455,000 people are currently unemployed. Homelessness is at an all-time high, charities claiming they are seeing more than double the amount of people seeking help than three years ago. Official figures say there are 4000 homeless people in Dublin alone. This video rush captures scenes of Dublin not usually seen in the tourist brochures.
