    Video I edited of the 2012 Astronomy Ireland Star-B-Q (:




    And a video I recorded and edited about the establishing of an association for former Foreign Legionnaires in Ireland (:



    I'm really a beginner with some basic gear, so mostly sticking to documentary stuff until I can build up skills :o

    This isn't gonna be as good as anyone else's, but this is a silly little stop-motion video me and my cousin made a couple of days ago when we were feeling bored...



    It only took about an hour to take all the pictures and then a little longer to put it together, and the camera work and all isn't exactly incredible, but it was kind of fun, so tada! Here it is!

    Video I made to promote a book written by a friend of my dad's. Really happy with how it turned out (:

    (Take heed of the warning at the start, fair bit of death in here)

    Science and logic have provided us with explanations for many things, but there remains at the core of human beings a love of and a need for mystery, magic and myth.

    This video explores the nature of belief and traditional storytelling in rural Ireland through the eyes of the inhabitants of Feakle, Co. Clare, a town still feeling the lingering influence of their famous 'wise-woman', Biddy Early (1798-1874).

    Hello all,

    Whats the take on film studies masters courses?

    I have always had a hugh interest in Film and I have completed a few short courses. One in filmbase and a couple for college credits.

    I would love to get involved in the industry and I have had mixed feedback on whether the masters is the best route to take.

    Any advice would be greatly appretiated . . . . .


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Athnakill


    Hey WoolahUrma, there is a lot to be said for self learning and development in this industry, but courses like that really do offer a great doorway for not just the education but the networking.

    Film is built on the mixed strengths and talents of individuals and anything like that where you can work with people and get to know them is great. Its also great to find where your passion in film is. As much as people try, no one is brilliant at everything and its nice to have people who you know can help or advise.

    This is exactly it, I have an idea of what I might like to do within the business but I have no contacts, connections or practical experience to inform these notions. My big worry is spending time and money on a one year course and having nothing tangible to show for it at the end. Like for instance, I took particular interest in x during the course and now I'm off to get experience with the director who is established in making x.

    I suppose that that's where building up the contacts etc comes in.

    I know that lenny abrahamson is the director of the trinity masters.

    That Jack and Ralph thing could be good. A trailer with just music and no dialogue is a bit off-putting though.

    They should have waited until they could do one that tells the story a bit better.

    Also (and obviously this is just a personal thing) that song is f*cking awful and I don't think the tone of the movie matches the tone of the song.

    Hi all. This is a link to my first short film. It taken a long time but finally done. If you could watch and comment it would be great thank you. It a ten minute short film about a love lorn guy who thinks his fond his one true love but it not going to be as easy as he thinks.

    : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70zCpT0Hl7U

    It's called D.T.A the tile is explained if you wait till the end credits.

    Hi there, I'm a songwriter, I've been recording my songs from home since I started making music in 2007.

    I'm looking to write a soundtrack for a film, with songs based around it.

    Basically I think maybe getting the plot or watching the film first, I can then write an EP around that, to go with the film.

    It will be a new challenge for me.

    Just made my website yesterday, you can hear everything I have done on it.

    I have an album called Runway by Andrew Brady on Spotify iTunes etc.

    Have never been to a recording studio.

    Want a new challenge, as I am wanting to try new things now.

    www.andrewbradymusic.com

    Also I will do it for free just for my new challenge, would be cool to even do a soundtrack for people into film production that are in the same boat as me with my music, just being creative and trying to further themselves.
    Regards.

    A short documentary me and three other people worked on for a module in college. I'm eager to hear feedback on what people think?
    I had originally hoped to use it as something to put on my CV but I'm not sure if it's professional enough.

    Really appreciate any feedback and tips.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭shnaek


    I've decided it's time to put the movie I worked on with James Browne, Irma Mali, Ruth Hayes, John Ryan Howard, Pascal Scott, Páraic English, Dan O'Connell, Valerie Hely and Jason Keane up on line.
    It's a short movie called: Searching For Ten



    Shot in Cork and Waterford on a Canon 7D.
    It's here on Vimeo:

    I'd say it could do with a tighter cut, and you could cut May out entirely, I didn't think she did anything to add to it. There's a great story there, you just needed to get there a bit faster, maybe bring the bullying in earlier and showing progression from that negative point to doing something positive about it, with the more personal stuff (hobbies, etc.) woven into that.

    If you wanted to put it on your CV, give the few underexposed shots a quick adjustment to match them to the rest and cut it to around 3/4 minutes and you'd have a great piece to show people.

    - Also watch your audio levels, the first train shot overpowers the interview dialogue.

    Feel free to drop me a pm if you want me to clarify anything.
