2013 is proving to be a busy year already with several new ventures happening.

One of these ventures is working with Visitor TV in producing local advertising for television screens in the hotels of the mid-west of Ireland and beyond.

“Visitor TV’s  aim is to enhance every hotel guest’s break away, ensuring they get maximum return from the hotel and local attractions.

A feature video about the local area is shown 24/07 on the Guest Channel, ensuring that visitors enjoy the local attractions & shop till they drop. The video helps them see all a region has to offer and more importantly give them a reason to return.”

For more information on Visitor TV and how to advertise then check out their website:

More soon.

On Friday night last at the Limerick Strand Hotel the 2nd annual Limerick Regional Business Awards and President’s dinner took place.

With ten category awards ranging from Best SME to Retail and Hospitality the night saw over 450 guests representing the best in business across multiple sectors.

We had the pleasure of producing the video inserts and conducting the playback on the night.

Charities were also benefiting from the night with a raffle and other funding taking place.

The Best Overall winner this year was Northern Trust where Catherine Duffy, Director, collected the prize on behalf of the business.

The recipient of the President’s award when to lifetime Limerick Chamber member Paddy O’Sullivan.

Limerick Leader Article July 2012

After nearly a year already since I last worked with Simon, we were filming again this week at the UL Arena in Limerick City.

Simon appeared on TV3’s Ireland AM on 19th july with his trainer Jason Kenny of Forever Fit Promotions, where a series of shots of him training that we shot were played back in studio.

Last years project was all about the Flexifoot ferrel product but this year sees Simon promoting ‘out on a limb’ and just from filming its hard not to be inspired by the guy.

Here is the full Ireland AM (TV3) spot.

For the second year running I had the pleasure in recording Limerick’s National Day of Commemoration for our past service men and women. Joining me at City Hall on camera was Ben O’Sullivan, where we captured the officiating representatives of the faith traditions and members of Limerick City Council and of the Oireachtas.

After each representative gave a prayer the new mayor Cllr. Jerry McLoughlin laid a wreath at the plaque on behalf of the people of Ireland.

This ceremony also took place across other cities such as Galway, Cork, Waterford, Killkenny and Dublin.

The final DVD was edited for City Hall’s records and commissioned by Futureama Productions.

In honour of all those Irishmen and Irishwomen who died in past wars or on service with the United Nations.
