My Chernobyl Documentary & Photos

[Musty]

Hi everyone.

I'm new here, so hopefully this will make a great first contribution to the forums.

Here is my little documentary about Chernobyl. I went there for a couple of days last October and came back with several hours of footage. Shot in HD on DSLR's, narrated, music, pretty much everything done by myself with no budget whatsoever! The highlight of my trip was the basement of hospital 126, just the most contaminated place in Pripyat and definitely the most creepy. it was pitch black down there and rivaled a scene from Silent Hill. The basement scene is towards the end of the documentary.

Watch in 1080p full screen and turn up the volume!

Beats most of the high budget documentaries that I've seen!
Absolutely stunning piece. Can't wait for the DVD

Wow, welcome along a great introduction you make there and some great photo's of the place.

This is simply amazing. Some of the best images I've ever seen from here. Beautifully composed, shot and processed. Hooking the laptop up to the TV now for what I am certain will be a very entertaining and fascinating 'movie'.

Every image tells the tragedy of this place - the arrogance of the official response, and the human cost. The inevitable end to politically driven decision making and value engineering.

Cheers for posting these up

very very very good

Just goes to prove that quality rather than quantity is the best way to document the history and legacy of Chernobyl and Pripyat.

As I say again, damn fine work that. I'm a bit obsessed with Chernobyl and Prypyat like another fine fellow who moderates on this forum!

I thought I may have known you, but I dont...

Thanks! Yeah, I'm pretty obsessed about it too and have been for about 4 years now. I almost went back this year, but a friend persuaded me to go to America instead in October, so to compensate, we're going to explore the Nevada desert a bit with a stop at Area 51 and the nearest town, Rachel. It's pretty abandoned so that will be very interesting.
