Local Heroes is an RTÉ-supported initiative focused on dealing with unemployment through local, citizen-lead initiatives.

The RTÉ TV series ‘Local Heroes – A Town Fights Back’ has shown Drogheda’s citizens coming together to jump-start their local economy and create jobs.

Their imaginative solutions to tackle unemployment, guided by experts, inspired us to create our own Limerick Local Heroes group.

There has been confirmation that Animo TV Production will have a team filming our town hall meeting in  the Strand Hotel on Monday 30 Jan 2012 from 6pm

The same crew was involved in the filming and production of the  RTE series ‘Local Heroes – A Town Fights Back‘ in Drogheda last year.

Our own local Red Paw Media, well known for productions like “Concy Ryan” and the Rubberbandits’ Horse  Outside, who had already kindly agreed to support the Limerick Local Heroes initiative , will also be filming the event.

Every community needs its Local Heroes!

Written by Eleanor McSherry (Limerick Journalist and Writer) for the Film Ireland Website, is an article/interview about the exciting plans for the old Theatre Royal site in Limerick City. (See Picture INSET)

If this project goes ahead this will certainly create new openings and opportuinities for both the media student and local film maker alike. Limerick has a wide variety of talent in this sector and a hub like this will cerrainly help film makers get their projects seen.

Faster and better than ever

“Professional editors and producers like you around the world have told us what you need to succeed. More efficient and easy-to-use video editing tools. An open platform that enables you to work with everything you want and integrate into any workflow. More power to eliminate bottlenecks, so you can work faster than ever.”

 It seems like it was only a few months since the last update… and in theory it has been for some. We barly get the cash together to get the 5.5 upgrade and Avid lands another on your purse strings. This time around the focus is on the 64bit operating systems. This is a huge welcome (dispite my earlier money worries). It was the natural progression Avid Technologies had to take. It remains to be seen if the upgrade is worth it and according to the website (see link below) the 5.5 version will have to be used by cutters who remain on a 32 bit OS.
As soon as I get my hands on the upgrade I’ll post a full review, ‘warts and all’.
