Screen grabs from "Flat Rock"

In early September I shot a famine related short directed and written by Kenny Leigh. Attempting to replicate the countryside of famine addled Ireland in 1847 proved to be slightly limiting, with the commonplace of electricity lines and modern structures scattered around even the most remote parts of the Dublin mountains. However after much scouting "the white road" by Sally's gap became our location. A short about the ritual of transporting a body to the deceaseds family during the famine and the encapsulated madness that hunger bestows. Shot handheld on the Sony F5, with Zeiss compact primes. Mike Gilbert on focus pulling duties, DIT by the ever enthusiastic Donal Corkery, with Adrian Moylan loading. Produced by Richard Bolger. More screengrabs to follow as the edit progresses.

Screen grabs from "I don't mind" - Shannon and the shortcuts

It's safe to say that I've been ignoring this of late... but I do plan on getting better at updating! I have a load of screen grabs from a number of different projects that I need to upload, which I will do after this week. For now here are two screen grabs from a recent music video I shot, with the gorgeous Shannon O'Connor and the shortcuts at the end of August.

Shot on the Sony F5, with ultra primes. Thanks to Barry Doyle, who focus pulled for me, and Adrian Moylan who manned the clapperboard. Directed by Michael Rob Costine, produced by Richard Bolger. Costume by Pilar Castro, Make-Up by Nicki Buglewicz. Who else can say that they get to shoot jugglers, clowns and scarecrows... for a living... I think it's safe to say, we all had fun on this one! As per usual, both shots are ungraded.

Screen grabs from "Rail Station"

The past weekend, I shot a short, again on the RED MX, with arri ultra primes... for what else would you shoot on? I genuinely think we had one of the best crews in the country working in every department, and by far the best craic! I can't quite put into words my gratitude for my own department made up of 'Twitchy Fingers', Tommy Fitzgerald pulling the focus...and Mike 'bubbles' Gilbert. I couldn't have asked for better, you two make me look competent, I am forever in your debt. To Sean Plunkett and Steve Jackson... I'm sorry about the amount of wide shots... thank you for not pummeling me to death...! Directed by Chris Brennan.

So here's a few screen grabs... RAW footage, with no grade and no tweaking as of yet. 

Screen grabs from "Dog eat Dog"

I shot a short at the beginning of December on the Red MX and only now am I getting around to uploading some of the screen grabs. Starring the ever brilliant Brian Fortune, Tim McDonnell, Kevin Sharkey, Eddie Jackson and Tristan Heanue. They were an intense few days... and we've still two to go in the following few weeks, but thanks to everyone who helped out we have a pretty special little short on our hands. Directed by Gav McDonnell.
