Second Short of the Trilogy is in Post

With principle filming completed on the second film of the trilogy, The Apparel, we have now started the post production.
The “training Trilogy”, a brainchild of Film Limerick Project Manager, Ronan Cassidy, has brought together both professional and novice filmmakers to realise the three short scripts created by Limerick’s Dan Mooney, Peter McNamara and Philip Shanahan.
The post production team consists of LSAD Student; Maeve Humphreys, Mark Griffin (LCFE) and Patryk Czekalski (LIT) (Assistant editors) and myself as lead editor. Limerick Institute of Technology is providing the post production facilities for the offline editing. We are using Avid Media Composer 7 with an Avid ISIS 5500 server for storage.
With the first of the three films, Day Off, already in the middle of post production, the team now move onto the more difficult task of managing two at the same time. With the third (Date Night) in preproduction, the team will be soon working on all the trilogy ensuring that the visual and story links are working along with balancing the ideas of three directors and the support of Ronan and Gerry Stembridge.
In the end we will have three great short films of which we can all be proud of, which will also show off to the rest of Ireland that Limerick has talent and locations for professional film making.
More soon.

ANIMATION and VFX TRAINEESHIP 2015 Call for Applications
Monday, February 2nd, 2015
Screen Training Ireland and Animation Skillnet are seeking applicants for a pilot one-year Traineeship Programme for Animation and VFX.
The Traineeship programme aims to partner 10 trainees with 10 animation/VFX studios for one full year. Over the course of the programme, the trainee will work in-house in the studio where they will receive on the job training. In addition to on-the-job training, the trainee will receive additional tailored training through Animation Skillnet and Screen Training Ireland.
The curriculum for the year of training is developed in close consultation with industry, and will combine training in core skills for animation/VFX with specialist and studio-specific knowledge and skills.
The traineeship will be divided into two main fields, both of which will be further divided into two training pathways:
1. Animation
Training Pathway 1: 2D
Training Pathway 2: 3D
2. VFX
Training Pathway 1: Compositing
Training Pathway 2: CG
The programme may also offer a parallel Technical Direction for VFX and Animation pathway, subject to demand.
All pathways will intersect where there are commonalities in terms of training needs, and all trainees across all four tracks will participate in core modules.
The Traineeship programme will commence in March 2015.
A training allowance/bursary will be made available to selected participants.
Participating studios for the pilot programme include:
Brown Bag Films
Cartoon Saloon
Giant Animation
JAM Media
Kalaveer
Piranha Bar
