Featuring breathtaking imagery of Ireland as well as the thoughts and words of Irish people, a new short film took the internet by storm this week. 

Racking up an impressive 350,000 views over the past few days, two young Irish entrepreneurs' intention to "capture the essence" of Ireland has definitely paid off. 

And this is only the tipping point for young business partners Theo Jebb and Sarah Fitzgerald, who plan to take their company Sonder Visuals international. 

"Theo has been a professional wildlife camera man since he left school in 2010 and has worked on numerous award winning projects," co-founder Sarah tells SHEmazing.

"We wanted to portray Ireland like never before and include something for everyone and capture the landscape and its people as they truly are.

"We started planning the trip last June."

The pair created the stunning visuals using drone technology, visiting locations such as the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, the Phoenix Park and Newgrange.

"The visuals for this project were all shot in Ireland over 31 days spread out over three months.

We travelled through the country filming and visiting as many sites as possible."

And the pair have a pretty epic road trip ahead as they hope to map "a visual journey" creating a similar video in all 28 countries of the European Union. 

"The next step is to gain financial support," says Sarah. 

"We hope to release a crowd funding campaign soon and raise capital to travel to every country of the EU over the course of 12 months."

"We plan on producing a film of each country and continue to grow Sonder as a web-series with the intention to produce a film about the humans, culture and landscape of the EU that will act as a window into the present and a time capsule for the future!

"If we meet our deadlines we hope to be continuing to Wales around April."

Well, if their first video is anything to go by, we expect big things from these two in the future.

This eight minute film released today is perhaps the most beautiful portrayal of Ireland and it's people that we have ever seen and it has nothing to do with any tourism board. 

The short film, created by Sonder Visuals, has captured most of Ireland's most beautiful and captivating landscapes using drone technology. 

The media company then overlaid these images with the words of Irish people for a truly once-off experience.

The video is the first in a series that the creators hope to do on each of the 28 countries of the European Union. 

Sonder Visuals founders Sarah Fitzgerald and Theo Jebb are starting an epic roadtrip today as they plan to create a "visual journey… intent on capturing the essence within each of the 28 EU member states," according to the company's website.

The duo are encouraging viewers to use the hashtag #CaptureYourCountrysCharacter using imagery.
