Dursey Island Cable Car Closure 2022

1 Comment

Dursey Island Cable car closure will be on the first of April, the closure is expected to last through until October. In reality there is a good chance that the Island will be inaccessible for a lot longer than that. I visited the island to meet some of the farmers and spoke to some of the local people who would be regular visitors to the island to hear and film their thoughts on the closure as well as the future plans for a bigger service and its impact on the island.

Watch the 20 minute video here below

Many thanks to Joe Sullivan, Gerald Murphy, Paul O’Shea, Anne Mc Nally, James Sheehan and David Dudley for their participation in the film.
I can only hope that the contractor and funding for the job are found soon as it is going to be a long time coming.

This film was made by myself simply as a historical archive for future reference I received no funding or remuneration for my work, which amounts to many hours of filming and editing. All done with Fujifilm cameras and some DJI Drone footage at 4k resolution.

Also thanks are due to Carina Mc Nally, Jerome Dwyer, Michelle Dudley, Patricia Sheehan and Nadette Charlet.

Of course Copyright is by definition attached to the film.

Thanks

PS Any other stories or events happening, let me know.

The Calf, Cow and Bull Rocks “End of the World”

The Calf, Cow and Bull Rocks “End of the World”Great trip Out.
The Calf rock has the remains of a Cast Iron Lighthouse on it, google it to read the story about the brave men who escaped with their lives after a storm. The light house was then temporarily placed on the end of Dursey Island whilst the next one and still running was placed on Bull Rock.

Dizzy on Dursey

Dizzy on Dursey with a short set of flights to make a little film. Was quite windy but we had some fun putting it together. A nice invitation to Dursey to visit some friends and enjoy a lovely evening meal. There is something very special about staying on the island rather than having to rush off on the cable car. Visit the Dursey website here. If you need your own film made with a drone feel free to contact Balooz.

Watch the Dizzy Video here.
