On Sunday 13th July I had the pleasure of filming Limerick’s national day of Commemoration at City Hall. The rain stayed off long enough for representatives of several religious and political backgrounds to honour all those Irishmen and Irishwomen who died in past wars or on service with the United Nations.
The completed DVD was produced for Limerick City and County Council.

St Marys Cathedral, Limerick.

On June 14th I had the great pleasure of filming the Ordination of the Reverend Edna Wakely to the Priesthood. This event took place at the landmark and historical setting of St Mary’s Cathedral, in Limerick City.

With a large audience in attendance as well as a full choir and parish guests, the ordination was recorded using a 5 camera setup in strategic locations around the cathedral.

The post workflow was a ‘multi-cam edit’ in Avid Media Composer and finally outputted to DVD and digital file for posting.

I had the pleasure today to be apart of a select group of film enthusiasts who were interviewed on the passion we all share for the medium of cinema.

Diarmuid McIntyre and Mairead O’Connor of Grey Heroin Media invited us to a special recording at a special venue, The Royal Theatre on Cecil Street, where we discussed the future plans of the Royal as well as the increasing film industry in Limerick.

“Grey Heron Media has begun production planning for two new series which are part of a unique joint commission by Limerick’s Live 95FM & RTE Lyric FM as part of the celebrations for Limerick’s year as Irish National City of Culture.

Grey Heron was commissioned jointly by both broadcasters to create two special series that would each explore the character and culture of Limerick in 2014, but in two very different ways.

These two ambitious series will be produced and broadcast in this year of celebration for Limerick city and county.”

I’ll update on the Broadcast date in due course.
