Thanks Dan.

Is Kissing Rachel a Cork film? Saw something about New York on the credits and one scene definitely looked like it was shot in a New York bar.

Very enjoyable. I was thrilled to finally get Breakfast in front of an audience. A big thank you to everyone who made it happen!

Any chance we could get a list of the films screened and their directors as I wasn’t able to catch all the names last night?

[Eoin O hA]

I’ve requested my ticket!

A big thank you to Dan, Páraic and Aidrian who came along to the Flashmob today.

A greta success and fantastic fun, thanks to everyone who contributed!

Very nice Dan, thanks.

Dan’s people, hey? ” title=”Wink” />

See you in a few hours for more fun!

[Eoin O hA]

Here’s what we’ve got then;

Fitzgeralds men’s clothes shop. Contact Tom or Edddie, the managers in there. I suggest Aidrian goes there as I believe Micheal is photographing from there too.

Debenhams. Contact Brenda, the manager. We’ve got an upstairs window so should be good, but I believe the windows are boarded off by the upstairs shops so the cameraman needs to get there early. I’d say quarter past/half past 12 as I’d expect some confusion/delays given the size of the building and the amount of different shops in there.

Quills. Contact John O’Dwyer.

Modern. Contact Mr. Ross.

Gentelmen’s Quarters. Contact Denis Staunton.

Victoria Hotel are trying to accomodate us, but their rooms are booked up and there’s a kids party in their conference room. They said to call in and see if the kids party would be ok with us filming out of one of the windows. There is also a slight chance that a guest won’t have checked in yet. There are fantastic angles from the conference room windows so I think it’s worth chasing up. Ursula working on the desk will help us if she can. Chris will help to section off an area if the party are OK with us going in. We’d probably need more than the cameraman to go along there to keep the kids away from the equipment.

Still waiting to hear about Dunnes and Pennys. They have great windows so it would be nice.

I’m gonna try and get around to all the spots to confirm everything is sorted before the performance. My phone will be on if there’s any real problem anyway.

Who wants where? We still need the brave soul to film in amongst the crowd too.

[Eoin O hA]

Great Dan!

From rehearsals to performance there isn’t going to be a break tomorrow as it’s been decided that keeping everyone together is the best way to go.

That means I won’t be very available after half 10 tomorrow morning. I’ll be in at the Savoy by 10 the latest as I suspect there’ll be a lot of organisation required.

We can either decide who’s going where here or meet at 10 ish in the morning?

So far we have Quills, Moderne, Gentleman’s Quarters, and 90% confirmed Dunnes.

I’m looking for more today as I think the high angle and long shots will look amazing.

As this is Ireland I am assuming that it will be lashing tomorrow so whoever has a camera that can survive that might volunteer to get in amongst the crowd and get some footage there.

I also think that a camera on either end of Patrick’s street could be effective.

People will be arriving on Patrick’s Street from either end of Patrick’s Street, Academy St, Opera Lane, Dunnes Lane, Cook St, Robert St, and Winthrop St.

Any other suggestions for where to film from are most welcome.

[Eoin O hA]

Just saw the video on Facebook. Looks great Páraic. Thanks for going along and filming it lads!

[Eoin O hA]

You’re way ahead of me Dan. Others who helped sort it were Julie Kelleher, Cormac O’Conner, Síle Ní Bhroin, Kath Geraghty, Geraldine O’Neill, Deirdre Dwyer, Fin Flynn and myself, so I’d expect any of those would help you out. The participants will make for the most interesting interviews though I’d say.

There’s a march for the arts on at 2pm from Daunt Square. Since ye’ll already be in town maybe ye should cover that too? ” title=”Very Happy” />

[Eoin O hA]

Cool Dan. If you want me to sort any interviews for you I can. Probably best to do them afterwards as people are up the walls but we might catch a few on the day.

It was Pat Kiernan’s idea so maybe catching him for a quick chat on Patrick’s Street would be good.

[Eoin O hA]

Cool Páraic. We’ll be between Academy Street and Winthrop Street. Are yourself and Dan making a documentary?

Adrian, that’s yours so. I’ll get onto Michael and sort the collection of the camera.

I’m heading into town now to talk to businesses on Patrick’s Street and will be trying to sort as many vantage points as possible for cameras. There’s another rehearsal in the Savoy at half 10 on Saturday morning so if we could meet there we can sort who’s going where.

Thanks to all!

[Eoin O hA]

Great Dan! Thanks.

Michael Mac Sweeney has volunteered a Sony HD2 camera and Libec tripod if anyone fancies manning that?

[Eoin O hA]

Anyone who fancies winning next year’s Made In Cork can get to the Savoy at half 7 tomorrow night for the rehearsals and make a documentary about the whole thing. ” title=”Very Happy” />

[Eoin O hA]

The meeting’s been moved to The Opera House to accommodate the large numbers expected.

See you all there!

[Eoin O hA]

There’s a meeting about saving the Kino on Saturday at 2pm in the Kino.
