Christmas Homecomings with Charles Dickens

Here's a simple little low budget film I directed for Strategem iLabs for its clients, Expressway and Bus Éireann to celebrate all those Christmas homecomings they're part of. Richard Kendrick shot the pix, with additional footage from Hugh Chaloner and Conor Smyth cut it.


The text is an extract from A Good-Humoured Christmas by that up and coming writer, Charles Dickensread rather beautifully by Ned Dennehy (himself no stranger to Dickens) and recorded at Beacon Studios.

Getting UnReal in Time Square

It was also great to collaborate with the mighty Steve Simpson on a 60m tall digital screen for UnReal Candy in Time Square NYC. Part of its Halloween campaign, we created a 30 second animated loop with Steve's fantastic Day-of-the-Dead inspired skull and kinetic text elements. The animation and post was done by designwest.ie.



(This is only a mocked-up comp as the actual screen burned out when filmed at night.)

And here's Steve throwing shapes in Midtown.
