- This short computer generated film by Kieran Baxter tells the story of settlement at Jarlshof in the Shetland Islands. The film is based on aerial photographs taken from a kite-suspended camera with special permission for kite flying in such close proximity to Sumburgh Airport. The project was supported by Historic Scotland, who manage the site, and completed at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, University of Dundee. Speculative reconstructions of lost buildings are based on kite aerial photographs from a number of other sites across Scotland - including Mousa Broch - and were completed in collaboration with Alice Watterson, Glasgow School of Art. The film is now on display in the museum at Jarlshof where it can be seen to full effect accompanied by an exploration of the site itself. More of the story and images behind the project can be found at www.topofly.com/jarlshof .
One of my favorite videos, come back to it again and again. A beautiful history without a word spoken.
A brilliant, awe-inspiring piece of work, wonderfully realised and produced to the highest artistic standards.
Visited the site yesterday and can tell you that it is the best day out ever. Just let yourself immerse and let your imagination run free. Phew, what a place and what a production, majic all round. Thanks to the gentleman looking after everything and sharing his knowledge.
It truly is a fascinating place, isn't it? 12 years have passed since visiting the ruins and it continues to hold me captive. This video recreation of how the buildings may have looked fully constructed is a treat to watch.
Stunning work.
Great work :-)
This is so awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Amazing, thank you. Saved to watch again and share!
Amazing. Have to visit next time I'm up there.
Amazing. I'd like to camp out there on the winters solstice. Commune with ancient spirits.
Camping isn't permitted on these archaeological sites but there are places to stay just up the road from Jarlshof if you should visit in the future.
Extraordinary - thank you for this glimpse of the settlements and changing architecture at one site. Hope one day I can visit.
I wish they'd make some sort of VR or game where you can walk around reconstructed ruins
Have a wee look at our apps, as there are some there using AR and/or 3D digital models: www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/download-our-apps/
Love the fact you can see what's left today and then the CGI of how it looked. 2300bc was that ?
Because the walls have earth and grass on top I always imagined these dwellings as earth houses!
I'm sure this took a lot of work putting together! What an interesting look at one plot of land inhabited over a few thousand years. I wish I could see what these people looked like and what they did for fun when they had time. I've never seen stones hanging from rope on the roof before. Was that speculation or from confirmed sitings?
The Vikings went all over the world, didn't they? Having an ahah moment seeing the similar architecture in other places verrrrry far away.
Yes they did :-)
that was really wonderful, can we share the link of the video in our project?
