Different stages of film production

Currently at a lecture in tralee IT about the different stages of film production, covers how to get investment, how km generate cash flow by things like Merchandising product placement etc. Interesting stuff!!

The End Is Nigh!!!

Well the year that is, is quickly becoming the year that was, that is for the trainees of T.V. and video production in FÁS, Monavalley Tralee at least! and what a year it was, I cant say I'm surprised though, I did a fas course before and i can honeslty say that like this one, it exceeded any of the tutelage that i ever obtained in college! and withing a much shorter time frame i might add! The equipment we had access to was mind boggling and ouy course instructors were amazing, more then will to donate their time, how ever much of it you'd require, i know one could argue thats there job but to do it without grudgery or destain on such a consistent basis really is, in my book at least impressive, also a word about us! the trainees, we've gotten to know eachother pretty well, and it hasn't all been flowers and cotten candy BUT without a doubt the high's have more then exceeded the lows and as a group i have to say that the dynamic was excellent, the team ethos and the willingness of everyone to pull in the same direction made it a pleasure to attend this course every day. On a final note, i would say that ANYONE looking to gain an education in camera work, tv/video production or anything in that genre this is a one stop shop for that, anything else is second best, FACT!!!

Presidential awards

Filming in maynooth today and tomorrow for the presidents awards, This guy is Eoin Kenny, He partook in the presidential awards program and found it a real positive in his life to date, As the program has certain criteria Eoin learned the Cello to satisfy part of it, we filmed him playing a piece and its going to be intercut with the interview we recorded by editor Fred O'Connor, should make for a really nice piece when its done!
