Cycling Campaign VideoSunday 26th of June 2011 Myself and Philip De Roos made this video for the Dublin Cycling Campaign. The Campaign wanted a video they could use for facebook and their website to let people know what they do and encourage them to get involved. The basic information is fairly boring so myself and Philip looked at how we could get it across in a fun way, we decided on getting members of the campaign out to deliver the information in a group and on a bike! I think the video works in the sense that it portrays the Campaign as a fun group of diverse people. |

Bear Bike VideosMonday 23rd of May 2011 I made a series of Videos for Bear Bikes to promote their excellent bikes that that they sell here in Dublin. They don't have a traditional bike shop and do most of their buissness online so the idea of the videos is to spread the good word of what they do and show off their beautiful bikes. Above is one of the videos, see their youtube page for the others.

Rebuilding the Republic - New Irish Architecture VideoMonday 18th of April 2011 I just finished making a half hour video with Architectural Critic Shane O'Toole. The video is for a retrospective exhibition of Irish Architecture in the M Muesum in Leuven. A lot of the exhibition panels in the exhibition tend to be heavy with architectural drawings which are not always easily read by non architects, so my intention with the video is that it would act as an introduction to each building and hopefully guide the viewer back to the panels for a closer view. |

Yellow Film ProjectMonday 18th of October 2010 I just finished filming on a new project with Amanda Coogan. It involved the filming of six different performances, by six different performers of Yellow by Amanda. The performances are four hours each and I will put them all together in the edit so they run side by side similar to the image above. I was free to move around the space with the camera so it makes for a nice contrast of shots placed together. |
