In 1964, Sir Anthony Hopkins composed a waltz in the Green Room of the Liverpool Playhouse (which he talks about here).

In 2012, the actor saw it performed for the first time by violinist and conductor André Rieu at the Belvedere in Vienna.

Pour yourself a nice Chianti. it’s really rather good.

“We had a great chat with Russell Crowe when he was in Dublin for the red carpet premiere of Noah but not everyone was so lucky. This journalist asks about bringing his rugby team to play against the Irish squad and the follow-up question is even worse.”

Oh.

Thanks Daniel Anderson

I’m an Italian student here on Erasmus in NCAD (National College of Art and Design) studying visual communication. I was impressed by the charm of this city and I wanted to make a time-lapse video that would run in the dark of night until a few moments before the city’s awakening. Working with Rado Dragoiu a student of RIAM (Royal Irish Academy of Music) who composed the background music, I created D14.

– 14 different scenes of Dublin in 2014 during 14 nights, filmed at f/1.4.
– 4 weeks of research, study and work.
– 14 nights around Dublin, crossing it from east to west, along the river Liffey and its beautiful bridges and buildings.
– 14 alarm clocks at 4am.
– 14 sunrises in different places.
– 14 nights of rage waiting for it to stop raining or freezing at minus 3 degrees.
– More than 7,000 photographs, 70 gigabytes of files, post-production 48 hours, 48 hours of editing, and a dozen video tests.

I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks Domenico
