Scripts - Updated

Stephen

 I was a boarder in St Peter's in the 1970s and alleged sexual,abuse by Sean Fortune who was a seminarian there at the time.

 I was 13 years old when it started. Inappropriate touching and explicit conversations led to oral sex and masturbation and eventually, after 3 or 4 months, to full and violent rape. The first such rape time occurred in a shower cubicle in St Peter's and subsequently five or six incidents occurred in a bedroom in the College.
Sean Fortune made me swear on a bible not to tell anyone and warned me that if I did, I would be expelled from St Peter's which would cause great hurt to my parents. Close to the end of the school year, I told the principal of St Peter's of the abuse. The school Principal reacted angrily to what I said and refused to believe me, telling me that Sean Fortune was going to be a good priest and that if I persisted in saying those things about him, I would be thrown out of the college. 
I dreaded going back to the college the following year. However, no further abuse occurred and I had no further contact with Sean Fortune and only minimal contact with the Principal.
I told the Inquiry that I continued to be affected by what had happened to me in my early days in school. 
I started counselling in my adult life and I am hopeful that that will help.
I contacted the Diocese in March 2003 and am pursuing a civil claim against Bishop Eamonn Walsh and the Diocese of Ferns.

It started when I was five years of age in the mid 1970s. It continued for a number of years and when I was seven years of age he tried to…. 

He was a regular visitor to my home, and stayed overnight. He would sometimes sleep in my bed; if I was already asleep I would not be moved.

I had a troubled and unstable adolescence which continued into my twenties. I blame this on the abuse I suffered from Him. 

I committed suicide in 2002, aged 31.

Voice Actors

We began to research voice actors around Dublin that could potentially voice our scripts. I began to look up free voice actors which wasn't very successful, so i looked on fiverr.com. Here i found very few male voice actors with an Irish accent. https://www.fiverr.com/begorrah_2013/create-a-polished-voice-over?context_referrer=gig_page&source=other_gigs_by&pos=1&ref_ctx_id=c9a67788-b199-41bf-bee7-8d63bd32742d . Upon further research i found a website called Voicebank.com, which had a wide range of voice actors both male and female, from the dublin area. i found two voice actors we all liked called Philip O'Sullivan and Ali Coffey.  Philip is based in Dublin and has a husky, deep voice we feel could sound great. http://www.voicebank.ie/profile/philip_osullivan http://www.voicebank.ie/profile/Ali-Coffey Ali is based in Dublin and is very experienced in voice acting.

Installation testing

Image
The past few days we have been gathering equipment such as projectors, speakers and amps in order to fulfil this installation. We have been testing the placement of projectors and the areas on which the video will display on. Chris also bought in his guitar amp to help us produce the sound out of the speakers with the help of an aux cord. Testing out the timing of the videos and audio is also a major part of this project.  Here are some stills from the videos displayed on the wall.
