Dorset by Night
Music by Douglas Dare: www.youtube.com/user/dougiedare - you can download it for free (limited to 100 downloads): soundcloud.com/douglas-dare/dorset-by-night-soundtrack This film acts as the prelude to a large-scale collaborative documentation of the night skies above Dorset, England. Dorset is the only county in the UK without a city, with the county town being Dorchester. In vast swathes of the region, stargazing is a delight and an absolute pleasure. This video was created by Bridport filmmaker Stephen Banks (aka DorsetScouser: about.me/DorsetScouser). The final Dorset by Night film will be shot by photographers across the county, so that a more accurate rendition of Dorset can be made.
