Social media ad campaign - Beam Bathrooms

This is a short clip from an ad campaign I produced for Beam Bathrooms showroom in Mallusk. It demonstrates the typical format for short form advertising on social media. This sort of content can be applied in a multitude of ways to bolster your business's digital footprint. Either by posting it directly to your own social media pages or by having it broadcast to users on various platforms through advertising programmes, such as

TikTok Ads.

Vox pops, St. Patrick's day - Get Sociable

Not all social media marketing has to be overt advertising. This video is an example of that. As part of a campaign to advertise for a venue booking app, it was posted on their page with the intention of gauging organic attention to the app's online presence. Where users would then be drawn in to learn more about the brand of their own accord. The video features eye catching on screen graphics that make it stand out in digital space.

16mm Film - Experiment

This footage was recorded on 16mm colour movie film. Using a vintage camera made in the Soviet Union in the late 1960's. While far from a practical means of capturing video, the resulting footage has an unmistakeable vintage charm to it that is hard to truly replicate through digital effects. And while not suitable for most modern brands, it's look and feel have become popular with various groups such as bands and professional skaters. As well as those seeking to authentically replicate that mid-century aesthetic. And, thanks to advancements in film scanning technology, well shot film can be easily digitised up to 4k image quality. While it certainly has many downsides, cost being the most noteable, it would be dishonest to say that the old way of doing things does not still have it's place in modern filmmaking

3D Map Graphics - Technical Demonstration

Here is an example of 3D graphics being employed for promotional purposes. In this case, to show the viewer how to get to an establishment from a well populated area. For simplicity, this is done in a format reminiscent of a sat-nav UI. As this is the most common way that the average person interacts with a map and is heavily associated with expedience and ease of access. And as such, portrays the business as being local and approachable.

Short form Documentary - Ektadreams

This is a video I produced as part of a side project of mine in which I explore the history of abandoned buildings and how they have since been reclaimed by nature. It serves as an example of how a clean & professional looking video can still be created with relatively few original assets. This particular video was made with just what I had in my personal archive, as well as archive footage, rather than a bespoke shoot.
