Noel Twomey
Ireland | 2006 | 29mins | DVD | Colour
Scooter Twomey endeavours to set up his own independent torture company in lieu of the CIA being banned from Europe for extraordinary rendition.[/quote:4f23d]
A great comedy documentary, some really funny bits, Scooters performance was cheeky and fun.

For years Marcus Nolan has been photographing hidden symbols in the landscape and collecting old folk tales from the West of Ireland. One day in the mountains he finds his Holy Grail.[/quote:4f23d]

[quote:4f23d]Mosquito Bites
Treasa O’Brien
Ireland | 2007 | 12mins | DVD | Colour
Exploring the phenomenon of the ‘mosquito’ – an ultrasonic sound used as a ‘deterrent’
against loitering teenagers in Cork city’s Rory Gallagher Square.
[/quote:4f23d]
Very well made documentary, the deafening sound at the end really made it, perfect to see it in the Cinema where you cant control the volume, this documentary made a very valid argument.

[quote:4f23d]Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal
Conor Heffernan
Ireland | 2007 | 30mins | DVD | Colour
A journey to meet sixties’ acid folk band, and the best kept secret in Irish rock history; Dr Strangely Strange.[/quote:4f23d]
Vey well produced documentary, i felt it may have been slightly long winded, would appeal more to people who knew the band i think but it has to be said the production value on this one was the best.

those were my favourite ones in order of preference, the rest were all pretty good, but i would put my money on one the ones above to win.

Actually it starts at 6 Sean, so its probably wiser to be there for 5.30

A lot of people have expressed an interest so far we have a few writers and directors showing up along with crew members, we have actors galore available but the more the merrier.

So far we have 2 camera’s and a lighting kit, would be great if someone showed up with a sound background. Or if you want to do your own film and cant find the cast and crew bring your camera along and we’ll help you get organised.

Have no idea what we will be shooting or where and if you can’t make it at 6ish at the triskal just text us your number and we’ll contact you when we know more details

send your text of interest to 083 3348285

Rmember filmmaking is a collaborative effort, the more hands you have around to help the better the result!

[Dan]

[Dan]

[Dan]

Couldn’t agree more Inky, well put.

I have noticed over the past year there have been lots of new people joining, and not posting, we try to involve as many people as we can into what we are trying to achieve and the only way to get involved is by posting up your skills and interests, and by attending events and not to be afraid to approach and talk to any one of us. (i like to think we are approachable anyway)

[Dan]

welcome matt, glad you could build up the courage to go online and tell the world about your alcoholism/comic genius, looking forward to reading some of your funny scripts!

[Dan]

bloody thing doesnt support the g5 architecture, need an intel to run it on a mac.

[Dan]

here is a freeware program, you could try it out,

I’ve never had to put subtitles on and if i did i would probaby just add them as text layers in Final Cut, but that makes the subtitle permanent, and would not give a dvd the option to change subtitles.

This on is a PC Freeware program for DVD’s, allows you to add multiple subtitle layers to DVDs.
give it a whack and see how you get on.
