Raleigh, NC Promo Video & Flickr Mashup

The fine people at the Raleigh Convention Center made this whore-schlop promo video for Raleigh titled Shine, Raleigh, Shine.

I’m not the world’s biggest fan of Raleigh, but it most assuredy deserves better than this drivel. Let’s see if the internets and random chance can do better:

• Do a Flickr search for “Raleigh” under creative commons license.
• Sort by interestingness.
• Download the first 70 photos
• Spread the photos over the Shine, Raleigh, Shine power ballad in random** order
• Enjoy!

The end product is no “Discover Chilliwack”, but at least it has a pulse. Random chance takes a couple cheap shots, but also provides a few genuine moments. You’re welcome Convention center.

*Note: Photos were skipped if they were: referencing the British town Raleigh, referencing the bicycle brand Raleigh, and photos were skipped if they were particularly repetative. Searched by tags and keywords. Photos were ordered by their Flickr-assigned alphanumeric filename.
