Young Irish Film Makers

This week the camera class were told to make a photo essay which could be turned into a documentary. This was to contrast the difference between shooting stills and cinematography as well as introducing them to world of non dramatic film making.

The best ideas that we came across were James Dorans idea about Grafitti in Kilkenny and Raindrops by Lukas Harman. The last two will be shot over mid term on Film Makers cameras.

I also shot two films one of the subject of Homework and the other on Obesity. These were done to show the importance of cutaways and how to shoot interviews. By taking these simple subjects it demonstrated how a good cameraman can make anything interesting by shooting it in a visually dynamic way. Camera movement, lens shifting and variety of angles were all used to make more interesting shots.

Our latest feature film wrapped last weekend after a hard but enjoyable four week shoot. Directed by Fergal Costello and Peter O’Connor it is a psychological thriller about a group of teenagers who have to deal with a traumatic event. It stars Paddy Corr, Aoibhinn Murphy, Ian McEvoy, Hazel Doyle, Colin O’Brein and Peter O’Connor as well as Brendan Corcoran and Angela Barret. It is now going straight into post production and we are hoping to premiere it bef

ore the new year. We would like to thank everybody who worked on it both cast and crew as well as anyone who helped out with locations and transport.

Our latest short film directed by Fergal Costello starring Paddy Corr, shot by James Marnell and produced by Darragh Kelly. This uneasy tale of looking into the abyss was rotoscoped afterwards to give it a graphic novel look with some CGI by Alan Doyle who also did sound. Enjoy.
