VT Operation

I have been gaining experience over the last couple of years in EVS and Server Operation through my work with TVM and Setanta Sports. I have covered various events including the GAA Allianz League, Barclays Premier League, the 2012 FA Cup Final and Oxegen Festival. I am looking forward to working on Euro 2012 with Setanta.

This is a video I shot (with the aid of a second cameraman) and edited in a few hours for Dublin Simon Community’s ‘Sing for Simon’ Christmas campaign 2011. We documented an all-singing, all-dancing flashmob in St. Stephen’s Green shopping centre. 

Media Production

I’ve been a researcher, rigger, cameraman, vt operator, editor, radio show producer…I’ve been trying to get as broad a range of experience in the media industry as I can, since 2008. More and more, I’m finding that as media content and means of delivery is converging, it’s a distinct advantage to have a well-rounded knowledge of all aspects of digital media, technical and editorial. Companies I’m currently involved with include Outside Broadcast services provider TVM, the TV station Setanta Sports  and production company Athena Media , but as a freelancer I’m always on the lookout for more work. More details of my experience and qualifications are in the ‘About’ section.

A piece of music I wrote and recorded for an ongoing ‘Book to Music’ club called ‘Past Everything Now’, which was inspired by Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.

This is the opening sequence from a documentary I shot and edited as part of my M.Sc in Interactive Digital Media in TCD in 2010. I also wrote the music.

EDUCATION
2009 – 2010: M.Sc. in Interactive Digital Media, Dept. of Computer Science, Trinity College Dublin.
This degree featured courses in Audio and Video Technologies, Authoring for Multimedia and Graphic/Web Design which increased my skills in Flash, Final Cut Pro, 3D Studio Max, Illustrator and evolving digital media practices. I additionally took modules in Programming, Client/Server Technologies and Mobile Communications which deepened my IT skillset.
The 1st class mark I gained in the Audio and Video technologies component led me to create the idea for the final group project. This involved creating an interactive audio installation in the Front Arch of TCD, “Surroundings”, and personally filming and editing a short documentary (http://www.frontgate.ie/surroundings/ ), whilst collaborating heavily with three other students.

2004 – 2008: B.A. (Hons., First Class) in Audio-Visual Media, Institute of Technology, Tallaght.
I gained hands-on experience of working in fully-equipped television and radio studios, using high-quality equipment daily and developing my skills in Final Cut Pro and ProTools, amongst many other programs. I gained practical experience in Graphic Design, Photography and Multimedia, becoming proficient in Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator. The course also featured theory courses such as Media Law, Culture and Technology, Marketing and Mass Communications. I gained a First Class mark in each of my five final modules.
