Stories of Our Land – A New Video Time Capsule for Farmers
Every field has a story. Every farm has a history. And every family has a legacy worth preserving.
Stories of Our Land is a brand-new service by West Cork Skies that captures the true spirit of your farm — not just how it looks today, but the stories that shaped it.
Using a combination of aerial drone photography, cinematic video, and your own voice, I create a personal video time capsule that can be treasured by your family for generations.
What Is a Farm Video Time Capsule?
It is a customised short film that blends:
Drone footage of your fields, homestead, boundaries, landmarks, fairy forts, streams, or woodlands
High-quality photographs of the land as it is today
Your own recorded voice, telling the history of the farm in your words
Optional additions such as Irish folklore, local heritage, or family stories connected to the land
The result is a one-of-a-kind video that feels emotional, honest, and deeply rooted in place.
Why This Matters
Many farmers know their land better than anyone else — its stories, its struggles, the traditions passed down, the hidden spots that only a few people ever get to see.
But often, these stories stay in our heads and are never recorded.
This time capsule ensures that:
Your knowledge is preserved
Your history is passed to the next generation
Your farm’s unique features are celebrated
The heritage of rural Ireland is kept alive
