After a very intense week of training and examinations recently, I have achieved Avid Media Composer 6 Certification in both User and Instructor categories.
For anyone wishing to become an Avid editor I would recommend checking out this certification. A good way of refreshing the skills.
Behind the Scenes is a newly formed network of people in the Midwest working in or studying Video and Film Production. The group was created with the intention of bringing together like minded individuals to study and promote Film and Video Production in the Munster Area. With an exciting programme of workshops identified to include editing, equipment, software, lighting, sound & much more, Behind the Scenes is the perfect opportunity to meet and network with editors, creative people and filmmakers who work in the local Film Industry.
Our next Meeting for May will have a slight change to our schedule as we will meet on Tuesday 29th May at The Absolute Hotel at 7pm where we will screen some of the recent Short Film entries from the LIT Film Festival with a Q+A session after.
Behind the Scenes is the perfect opportunity to meet and network with editors, creative people and filmmakers who work in the local Film Industry.
We welcome new members and we meet on the first Monday of each month.

MWRA and Limerick City Council host DIEGO seminar in Limerick – 26th April 2012
This seminar, organised by the Mid-West Regional Authority and Limerick City Council, was held on Thursday, 26th April 2012 in the Clarion Hotel, Steamboat Quay, Limerick City from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm. The seminar aimed to present the policies and trends in Ireland with regard to Digital Inclusion and the progress to date of implementing the Digital Agenda for Europe.
The seminar also presented the DIEGO pilot currently underway in Limerick and some of the results to date. The pilot, accessible through the simply.limerick.ie website aims to make some Limerick City Council services and information available to citizens who may have a lack of digital skills.
We were commissioned to create an effective and creative piece that explains the impact on the ground DIEGO is creating. The finished piece had a playout at the seminar and was well received.
Well done to all involved including all the help from Ronan Murphy, Limerick Community Connect; Deirdre Byrne, Mid West Regional Authority; and Mihai Bilauca of Limerick City Council.
Here is the finished video:
In this episode, the Limerick Insider takes a look back at some of the highlights from a very busy month of March in Limerick.
On 17th March, University of Limerick founding president, Dr Ed Walsh led more than 4,000 colourful participants in Limerick’s St Patrick’s Day Parade as Grand Marshal of what is believed to be the largest parade in the country.
The theme of the 2012 Limerick St Patrick’s Day Parade was ‘The World in Union’ which celebrated Limerick’s huge community base, its ethnicity and diversity and the fact that St Patrick’s Day is now truly a global phenomenon.
The 220 member University of Missouri Marching Band took the top prize at the Limerick International Band Championship on 18th March in front of 40,000 spectators in Limerick.
Twenty marching bands featuring musicians from across Ireland, Europe and the USA performed for the 42nd International Band Championship which is part of the Limerick St Patrick’s Festival.
The 2012 Limerick Lifelong Learning Festival took place from Monday, March 26th to Sunday, April 1st.
More than 140 FREE events spanning both City and County will took place in Limerick to celebrate lifelong learning across the region through a variety of enjoyable and informative activities.
Sports mad Limerick is always the place to be for rugby in Ireland. Visitors are offered an unforgettable experience – a weekend in the home of Munster’s passionate Thomond Park Stadium! Our video gives a teaser of what’s to be expected on a rugby trip to Limerick.
And finally, we introduce you to Declan and Eithne – two of Limerick’s friendly Street Ambassadors. If you pop into them in Limerick, make sure to have a chat with them and they will advise you the best places to visit, eat and shop in Limerick.
