A shot for shot homage to the Sopranos opening sequence ‘with a Dublin twist’ created for Digital Biscuit. Directed by Gerard Walsh and starring John Connors.
And here’s the side by side comparison

Been there. Done that. Here’s a version I made back in 2008 for the opening of the IMI Management Conference at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Powerscourt.

Yours is just a copy for the sake of copying something good. It doesn’t matter that you copied something first, it’s still just plagiarism.
You’re so cool, i think I loves ya.
What an awfully derivative waste of time.
Saw that mentioned in the journal yesterday. Nothing about this and that article make me want to watch it. Nothing.
OK, but shouldn’t they have made it an actual, geographically-accurate route of some kind? It leaps about all over the place (and back again), and if you know Dublin that kind of spoils it.
the original isn’t geographically accurate either
I guess, but I don’t know that area well so I don’t care. I think the problem with this one is that he drives around where I live….about 3 times, which is a bit disconcerting!
Don’t worry, he’s not a real Mafia gangster and he’s not looking for you to kill you.
Phew ;-)
Great stuff, really enjoyed that.
Film/video routes are rarely geographically accurate. I doubt the New Jersey one is either. I know the Dingle Peninsula quite well, but Ryan’s Daughter isn’t ruined for me because they detour through Banna Strand to get from Dunquin to the Coumenoole.
Shot for shot its laboriously recreated, but the energy and cool factor is lost. Doubledown1138 got that right.
They were both very good. Fair play lads.
Cheers for the positive comments guys.
I prefer your one – some shaky camera in that new one.
Can we see a three way side by side of the original and the two remakes?
Only joking, they are both good. fair play to the creators.
Ah shure be gorrah and be de hokey… isn’t Merika only great…. let’s make something like dah… and not be original ah t’all like….. and use a Traveller in it because us middle class kids associate them with gangsters without meaning to…… wehooo….
No interest. Next
That was great, very well made
Excellent!
Average scene length seems shorter in Doubledown’s and it really seems to benefit from that. Good job both though.
Thanks for te comments people, the reason it’s shaky is because the original is shaky, there are shit loads of copy’s on line but they are homages to a great show so that’s why it was made, and it’s pretty relevant considering its for a talk that David chase is giving, in case Ya didn’t know he’s the creator of the show! It’s not geographically correct because if I wanted it to be shot for shot it wouldn’t have worked.
I don’t know if your aware but the port tunnel doesn’t nessisarly lead to that part of the quays before some of the other locations. It’s called film making so lighten up and if you don’t wanna watch it but feel the need to tell everyone then maybe you should give creativity a go yourself, try matching the Simpsons opening geographically in Dublin and get back to me with your effort :)
sincerely
The creator of this homage :)
*scratches head for a location to replace Springfield’s eternal Tire Fire*
Poolbeg would have to be Burns’ power plant :)
Give creativity a go? Haha no sir, you’ve got the wrong room. This is where creativity comes to die.
That was great. Shouldn’t it be the O’Pranos though.
