A Limerick student, Stephen Hall, who in his second year of the Video & Sound Degree course at Limerick Institute of Technology, has won a video competition in conjunction with Beck Vier.
A national film competition called “Express Your Creativity” which involved developing and shooting a television advert for Becks Vier beer pulled a lot of interest from film makers from around the country. As a result his advert will appear on TV and cinemas regularly throughout November – a fantastic achievement for a 2nd year.
Here is the winning entry.
