It’s The Food Issue
By Waterford I.T. graduate (currently interning and soon to be available) Colm O’Connor.
Colm says:
This cover was designed especially for the Food Issue. I had a bit of a panic attack when I was told this issue usually trends but I got my act together, jotted down a few ideas, and decided this was the one. You can’t beat a payday when you don’t have to make your own packed lunch!
When asked if they’re willing to stay,
At work on their own holiday,
Almost eight percent will,
Keep toiling until,
They’re worn out, exhausted and grey.

Enda is an expletive according to some.
Took it like a chump in fairness.

A 1916-2016 promotional video.
Spaghetti Hoop writes:
Not a mention of the rebellion leaders and participators that were executed or wounded or the lives, widowed wives, poetry and legacy. No mention of The Citizen Army, the IRB, The Nation, Cumann na mBan, Home Rule, Redmond, Kilmainham, Shefflin, Kevin Barry, Austin Stack, Roger Casement, the previous rebellions of 1798, Parnell, Wolfe Tone etc.
This IS the “Gathering Part II” as feared by our historians. The people that put this together have been given a brief that is so far removed from the 1916 Rebellion that allowed it to be made it into a faux-bollywood movie all about making MONEY. Jay-sus. I really had hopes.
FIGHT!

A rather beautiful timelapse by Andrew Walker compiled from shots of a tour of Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic in September.
Shot (if you relish such detail) with Canon 5D Mark III, Canon and Ziess lenses, a Dynamic Perception Stage R Pan/Tilt head being controlled by a eMotimo controller in a 3D printed box.
Pleasingly animated typography by Louis Mallart.
