Yay

I'm delighted to have won two awards at the Bray Music Video Awards last week. I received 'Best Shot' for my work on Hunter Gatherer's 'Cloud', and I also managed to win the 'Rising Star' award, for my cinematography across the videos I worked on. I'm over the moon :)

Teaser for 'Love Sounds' Music Video

Here is a short teaser I put together using B-Roll footage from last weekend's shoot:

Stills from Music Video 'Love Sounds'

This weekend I had fun on a runway shooting a video for 'Love Sounds' by Miracle Bell. Simon Eustace, who recently one Best Director and Best Video at the Bray Music Video Festival was the director.

The whole thing was shot from a trailer being towed down a runway. We were blessed with lovely weather and a very enthusiastic band. Shout out to my fantastic assistant, Manu.

Here are some stills:

Couple more after the jump...

Let there be Light

Interesting article by Bill Bryson over on the Guardian about the early days of electricity. Must have been pretty exciting to see a lightbulb for the first time.

No Soul For Sale

If you happen to be near the Tate Modern over the weekend, I recommend dropping in and checking out the No Soul For Sale festival. Bringing together art collectives from around the world, it also happens to feature a piece I shot for Susan Thomson, 'Fire Practice Theatre'. Susan's piece is showing as part of the thisisnotashop exhibit 'Everything is Up', which also includes work by a number of other Irish artists.

It sounds like a great exhibition, well worth a look if you happen to be in London.

Music Video Festivities

The Bray Music Video Festival back, and this year three videos I shot- including one I directed- will be screening at it. This time it takes place in the Harbour Bar, which should be lots of fun and nice and casual. So if you fancy having a few drinks and checking out a load of music videos do drop by. There is also live music on every night.

The festival runs from tomorrow evening (Thursday) till Sunday evening. I have videos showing in the screenings tomorrow at 19.30, Friday at 19.00 and Saturday at 17.30.

The videos showing are:

'Where Were You Last Night' by the Peakin Trippers.

 'You Were With Me' by Major Bullhorn.

 'Cloud' by Hunter Gatherer (which hasn't been released online yet).

Hope you can make it along. More info here.
