TRACES

Short Film

Film

Written & Directed : Eddie Murphy Description: In a dystopian Ireland, Daithí, a grieving widower, lives in isolation. Haunted by the past and cocooning himself away from danger he lives in repetitive solitude. His only companion is CARA, an artificial intelligence confined to a homemade terminal. Yet, locked away in away deeper in his compound is something far more precious - ROBYN, or rather, the fragmented digital reconstruction of his late wife. Desperate to preserve her memory, Daithí spends his days painstakingly refining her personality and with CARA’s guidance, chasing the illusion of bringing her back. The words of Eddie Murphy: Traces blends the atmospheric isolation of Blade Runner, the sterile tension of Severance, and the desolate unease of 28 Days Later to craft a quiet, melancholic, and subtly unsettling tone. Traces came from myself and my creative partner - Paul Mahon - love for genre film, especially sci fi. We both loved the idea of creating something visually striking and exciting that have all the hallmarks or your classic sci-fi adventure yet retaining that rural Irish setting that feels both so desolate and comforting at the same time. This has been an ambitious passion project from top to bottom and are extremely proud of what we have achieved. We are very excited to present this short and cannot wait to continue on the story...

LUX ALMA

As the Leaves Fall

Music Video

This is my second collaboration with Lux Alma, building on our previous creative synergy to craft a visual landscape that breathes life into her evocative soundscape tune "As The Leaves Fall". The song itself is a delicate, introspective piece—layered textures, subtle melodies, and an emotional arc evoking change, impermanence, and quiet beauty—much like the slow drift of autumn leaves.I directed, shot, and edited the video to serve as a direct visual extension of her sonic world: serene yet poignant imagery that mirrors the track's mood without overpowering it. We filmed entirely in Woodstock (the historic demesne with its ancient trees, hidden paths, and golden-hour light filtering through foliage) and Inistioge using natural autumn light to capture falling leaves, rippling water, textured bark, and soft mists. The cinematography emphasizes organic movement—slow pans across drifting foliage, close-ups on textures in decay and renewal, wide shots of the Irish countryside in transition—creating a meditative, immersive journey that syncs rhythmically and emotionally with Alma's sound design. Supported by Arts Council Ireland—highlighting its artistic merit and local production value. Builds on our prior work together, evolving from sound-to-visual interpretations into fully realized cinematic pieces.

Shot in full 360° format, the footage places viewers directly into the daily operations: conference coordination at Croke Park, high-adrenaline activities at Ballyhass, and polished hospitality at The Continental Hotel—highlighting the people who make these places exceptional. The content was specifically designed to inspire young people entering the workforce. The final immersive experience was delivered via Meta VR headsets and shown to secondary school students across Ireland. Wearing the headset, students could look around in 360°, "walk through" the venues, and see what it feels like to work in these dynamic tourism environments—bringing career possibilities to life in an engaging, interactive way.

This includes dynamic shots of the Cupra stand, crowd interactions, DJ sets, branded experiences, and festival atmosphere—delivered as promo reels, social highlights, and recap videos for Cupra's channels. I also covered the pre-festival DJ Competition (a Cupra-sponsored qualifier held a few weeks before Beyond the Pale), filming heats, performances, judges, and winners to build hype and showcase emerging talent. The footage was edited into short, punchy social clips and longer highlights—emphasizing energy, music, and the brand's "rebel spirit" alignment with the festival's cutting-edge lineup. The work supports Cupra's festival strategy—positioning the brand as bold, forward-thinking, and connected to Ireland's electronic scene—while delivering high-engagement content for social media and promo use.

The work contributed to Bearfoot's official highlights reels, promo videos, and social content—delivering dynamic shots of the parade route, crowd reactions, aerial views from the roofs of O'Connell St, and atmospheric festival moments.

Additionally, I edited Bitemark's showreel—a high-energy compilation reel that showcases their strongest work across commercials, social content, branded films, and creative projects. The edit flows seamlessly: tight pacing, strategic track selection, smooth transitions, and visual polish to highlight their range—from high-end automotive (e.g., BMW) to lifestyle and cultural campaigns—while ending on a strong call-to-action. Both projects were delivered through Verve's production pipeline, emphasizing fast turnaround, social-first aesthetics, and professional finish.

Hermitage Green

Electric Picnic

I created and performed live visuals for Hermitage Green across three big shows, all shown on huge LED walls to wrap the crowd in an immersive backdrop. The content evolved with their sound: warm, organic layers for the intimate Limerick marquee gig; bold, high-contrast graphics and anthemic pulses for the Electric Picnic Main Stage; and softer, woodland-inspired textures with dappled light for the Ranken Woods stage the following year. A key part was mixing in real-time stage footage from cinematographer Shane Serrano (Crude Films)—pulling close-ups of vocals, guitar, and drums straight into the visuals. This blended pre-designed reactive graphics with live shots, letting the audience see both the music and the band in one cinematic flow.LED scale, live camera integration, and music-responsive design made each gig a full visual and sonic experience.

Intercut with wide shots of the gym space—vault tables, bars, mats, colourful apparatus, and the kids training hard—to give a real sense of the facility as a welcoming, professional space for young athletes. Photography includes dynamic action stills (frozen mid-air moments), group portraits, and clean venue shots for social media, website, and promo use. Everything was edited with upbeat music, subtle text overlays, and a positive, motivational feel to celebrate the club and inspire new members.

Sing Along Social

ATN Main Stage

Visuals

I provided live visuals and projections for Sing Along Social at numerous events, turning stages into immersive, crowd-powered spectacles. The visuals—glittery pop graphics, nostalgic icons, lyric bursts, disco effects, and playful animations—react in real time to the playlist and hosting energy. A standout technique (especially at venues like The Sugar Club) was filming audience members during the gig and instantly weaving those clips into the projections. This created a live, participatory loop: the crowd sees themselves singing along on the big screen, amplifying the communal craic and making every event feel unique and personal. At All Together Now Main Stage, the visuals scaled up for festival crowds—massive projections syncing to thousands belting out hits from Mariah to ABBA. This approach perfectly captures Sing Along Social's ethos—no pressure, pure joy, everyone involved

Host and driver Shane Walsh took the Ioniq 5 on an 11-hour, 440km loop around Kilkenny, visiting every GAA club in the county. We filmed the journey: charging stops, scenic roads, club welcomes, and Shane chatting about community, sport, and how the car handled the full day without a hitch. The video highlights the Ioniq 5’s long range and smooth drive in a grounded, local way—perfect for showing it’s built for Irish roads and Irish life. Part 2 – Hurlers Road Trip Interview A more intimate follow-up: I filmed and edited an in-car interview with Kilkenny hurlers Huw Lawlor, Adrian Mullen, and Walter Walsh. We drove them from Nolan Park in Kilkenny to MLM Motors in Carlow, capturing candid conversation about hurling, team life, and the car’s space and comfort on the move. The result is relaxed, authentic, and character-driven—letting the players’ personalities shine while subtly showing off the Ioniq 5’s cabin and ride quality.Both pieces were cut for social (Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook) and website use—dynamic pacing, clean overlays, and local pride running through every frame.

Hermitage Green

All You Can Be

Music Video

Artist: Hermitage Green, Limerick five-piece: Darragh Griffin, Darragh Graham, Dermot Sheedy, Dan Murphy, Barry Murphy Filmed By: The children of the band members – a special, heartfelt touch that brings raw authenticity and joy to the footage I directed and edited this warm, family-centered music video for Hermitage Green's "All You Can Be"—a beautiful electronic departure from their established indie-folk sound, inspired by keyboardist Darragh Griffin's early days as a father. The song reflects the quiet magic of parenthood: mundane moments becoming the best parts of the day, the growing bond with his daughter and wife, and an ephemeral, dream-like joy captured in light-hearted, loving lyrics. What makes this video truly special: all footage was shot by the children of the band members themselves. Handheld cameras in the hands of the kids at St. John's in Cork create an unfiltered, playful, and deeply personal perspective—shaky, intimate angles, candid close-ups on the band performing, crowd energy from a child's-eye view, and spontaneous moments that feel genuine and full of wonder. I shaped the raw kid-filmed material in editing to preserve that innocence while syncing it to the track's polished, crisp production. The result is a touching visual that mirrors the song's themes—resilience, family connection, and embracing what you can be—while giving the next generation a literal hand in telling the story. A lovely collaboration with a band I've crossed paths with in the Irish scene, emphasizing heart over polish.

The visuals included fiery, flowing particle effects, subtle text overlays, and atmospheric animations synced to the song's builds and emotional peaks—designed to amplify the dramatic impact on TV while staying true to the Eurovision-style spectacle.

US Tour

Visuals

As part of the Lightscape team, I animated Hozier's Unreal Unearth album cover to serve as a recurring motif and transition element in the live visuals across the American tour. The original artwork (the striking, ethereal figure in a fiery landscape) was brought to life with subtle, atmospheric motion: gentle breathing/pulsing, flowing embers, shifting light, and evolving textures that tied directly into the album's themes of mythology, love, grief, and rebirth. The animation was designed to be versatile—used as intro sequences, between-song transitions, background layers during key tracks (e.g., "Francesca," "Eat Your Young," "First Light"), and moments of stage drama. It reacted subtly to lighting cues and song dynamics, creating a cohesive visual thread that felt both organic and cinematic on large LED screens and stage projections.

I created and performed the live visuals for Denise Chaila's electrifying set at Longitude Festival. To build a tailored visual world, I filmed custom close-up footage during a tour of Kilkenny Castle—capturing textures, architecture, light play, and atmospheric details that evoked heritage, strength, and storytelling. These elements were layered with clips from her previous music videos (e.g., mythical/empowering imagery from "Chaila," "061," or other work), creating a seamless, reactive projection set that synced to her performance, lyrics, and energy. The result amplified her commanding presence and Limerick-rooted narrative—regal castle motifs, dynamic transitions, and beat-synced graphics blending history with modern hip-hop flair, immersing the Main Stage crowd in a cohesive visual story.

I collaborated with Verve to create video content for BMW's high-profile launches in Ireland. For the BMW iX, I filmed and edited a dynamic promotional/launch piece showcasing the vehicle's bold design, electric performance, and innovative features Separately, for the BMW i7 event, I handled filming and editing to document the unveiling, key moments, product highlights, and guest experience—delivering polished footage for brand channels, social media, and internal use.

I Wish

Music Video

Blending MiniDV footage captured on location in Thomastown with greenscreen sequences shot at my studio, this playful 90s-inspired music video embraces a raw, rough-and-ready aesthetic infused with psychedelic flair to perfectly complement 1000 Beasts' chilled, soulful R&B-hip-hop vibe. The visuals lean into nostalgic lo-fi charm—grainy textures, vibrant color pops, trippy effects, and dynamic edits—while syncing seamlessly to the track's honeyed vocals (from Waterford singer Carrie) and laid-back grooves. It captures a fun, experimental energy that echoes the song's themes of longing and introspection, all wrapped in immersive, beat-driven motion graphics and layered imagery. This collaboration highlights my ongoing work directing music videos that fuse real-world locations with studio innovation, delivering high-impact results for Irish electronic and indie artists.

The Blue Shroud

Feature Documentary

Film

I edited this compelling music documentary centered on Barry Guy's powerful large-ensemble composition The Blue Shroud. The film explores the work's deep inspirations: Picasso's iconic painting Guernica (created in response to the 1937 bombing of the Basque city during the Spanish Civil War), the historical atrocity itself, and the symbolic 2003 event where a blue drape was hung over a UN tapestry reproduction of Guernica before a U.S. press conference—highlighting themes of censorship, war, compassion, and humanity's capacity to learn from history. My editing shaped the documentary's narrative flow, interweaving performance footage of Barry Guy directing and performing with the superb ensemble, archival material, interviews, and reflective sequences. The goal was to create a cohesive, immersive experience that mirrors the composition's emotional depth—balancing intense historical context with moments of musical serenity and hope. This involved precise pacing to let the music breathe, seamless transitions between talking-head insights and live/experimental performance clips, and rhythmic cuts synced to the score's dynamics. This project fits squarely in my long-standing work with innovative Irish and international musicians. It showcases my ability to handle music-driven storytelling in documentary form—ensuring the edit serves both the artistic intent and the emotional resonance of Barry Guy's vision that "compassion is still a currency open to all."

Lisa Hannigan

Pepper Canister

Visuals

I created and performed the bespoke live visuals and projection mapping for Lisa Hannigan's set in the Am & Áit series—projected directly onto the front facade of the historic Pepper Canister Church. The visuals were designed to complement her atmospheric, emotive performance: subtle, dreamy layers, reactive elements synced to the music, and evocative imagery that enhanced the outdoor summer-night setting without overpowering her voice and band. The same approach applied to Iarla Ó Lionáird's set the following night—tailored projections that honoured his sean-nós roots and ethereal style. The church's architecture became a canvas, turning the gig into an immersive, site-specific experience.

My Roles: Editor, Sound Designer Director / Writer: Kealan Ryan Genre: Sci-Fi / Romance / Drama Runtime: Approx. 14 minutes Cast Highlights: Steven Berkoff (Voice Over), Elva Trill, Slaney Power, Fiach Kunz, Kealan Ryan Synopsis & Background: I served as editor and sound designer on this intriguing Irish sci-fi short, directed by Kealan Ryan. The story follows Henry Martin, an ordinary man who's never quite lived up to his potential—missing out on his dream job, dream girl, and greater purpose—until he encounters an opportunity to "fix" everything through the mysterious Anderson Corporation. The film blends dystopian corporate satire with romantic and personal redemption elements, exploring themes of control, influence, and second chances in a subtly unsettling world.

AKKAN

El Mutal

Music Video

My Roles: Co-Director (with Marc Fernandez), Editor, VFX Artist, Cinematographer Artist: AKKAN (Barcelona-based duo: BeGun & Ocellot – organic electronic, tribal-infused house) Genre/Style: Psychedelic / Electronic / Mind-Bending Visuals for chromatic, shamanic electronica Description: I co-directed and handled editing, VFX, and cinematography on this wildly psychedelic music video for AKKAN's "El Mutal" (short edit). The piece is a full-on journey into woozy, altered states of mind—perfectly synced to the track's mind-bending sounds, shimmering analog synths, tribal percussion, exotic vocals, and chromatic, hallucinogenic grooves. Embracing an "out there" aesthetic, the visuals plunge into trippy, immersive territory: swirling patterns, distorted realities, vibrant color shifts, abstract motion graphics, and surreal layering that evoke shamanic experiences and the duo's influences from ancient African/pre-Columbian worlds under a modern electronic skin. It captures the song's feverish, borderless energy—organic yet otherworldly—while letting the hypnotic rhythms drive the visual frenzy.

Lux Alma

To The Sea

Music Video

This was the very first collaboration between me and Lux Alma—a full audio-visual odyssey commissioned by Siamsa Tíre during lockdown. Confined in Dublin and longing for the Atlantic of her Kerry upbringing, Alma embarked on a post-restrictions journey along the coast, recording at every inlet and bay (86 in total). She transformed those raw sea sounds into the music itself: wave crashes as cymbals, impulses in synths, her dad's laughter woven in—creating a piece where "the sea isn’t just the inspiration; it is the music."I directed and edited the visuals to form a complementary landscape: an immersive celebration of the ocean's elemental beauty, awesome power, and emotional pull. The video blends performance (Alma's soaring vocals), field-derived imagery (coastal textures, water motion, light on waves), and otherworldly elements (her signature sea-creature motif—mythical, female-strength inspired, luring deeper into the depths with jubilation and heartbreak). It's meditative yet thrilling—mirroring the track's themes of homecoming, longing, dissolution into the sea, and the thrill of being "cracked open" by it. This project launched our creative partnership— It set the tone for our later work together (e.g., "As the Leaves Fall"), emphasizing location, atmosphere, and synergy between audio and visuals. As well as collorating on a TANOKI tune, Broken. Premiered via RTE Culture as "an audio-visual celebration of the elemental beauty and awesome power of the Atlantic Ocean" (July 2021).

I've worked closely with Catapult on a wide range of high-profile events and productions, delivering editing, filming, live visuals, and projection mapping for major brands. This includes pre-event promo films, on-site filming, real-time VJ/projection work, and post-event edits—often involving immersive mapping onto stages, structures, or custom sets to enhance the audience experience. Projects ranged from tech conferences (Web Summit, SaaStock, Hopin) with dynamic, tech-forward visuals and live-reactive graphics; brand activations (Samsung, Three) with branded motion content and large-scale mapping; community/corporate events (Girl Guides) with engaging, inclusive projections; and more. The work consistently blended creative direction, technical precision (syncing to audio/lighting), and high-energy delivery to elevate the event's impact.

These short, high-energy videos used clean animated transitions, elegant typography, product reveals, lifestyle illustrations, and subtle 3D elements to highlight the natural, grass-fed quality and Irish heritage.

Gold Blooded Women

Take It Off

Music Video

I directed and edited this hilarious, COVID-19-inspired music video for Gold Blooded Woman's "Take It Off"—a super fun, inventive creation that turns pandemic constraints into creative gold. The video embraces a bold, irreverent energy: cheeky concepts, quick cuts, absurd humor (including a memorable "coke-crazed puppet" cameo), and playful staging that perfectly matches the song's witty, empowering vibe about shedding inhibitions (or layers) with attitude. Shot in a lockdown-friendly setup, it features standout moments like Louise Bruton's special cameo (the music journalist hilariously leaning into the chaos), dynamic visuals, and over-the-top antics that amplify Sarah Byrne's creative flair—from eating sushi off a tattooed naked man in past work to gem-encrusted faces here. The result is a lighthearted yet sharp pop video that captures the spirit of the time while showcasing Sarah as a true force in Irish indie/pop.

I designed and built a custom interactive climbing wall game for Google's Winter Party at the RDS—a high-energy challenge where players raced to touch 10 illuminated climbing holds as fast as possible. The wall lit up holds in random sequences, turning it into a frantic, competitive scramble: touch all 10 to win, with leaderboards for bragging rights. The setup was compact yet thrilling—wall mounted in the party space, with visual feedback. It was a perfect icebreaker: techy fun for Google's crowd, blending physical challenge with digital interactivity to kick off the winter festivities.

Walking On Cars

Monster

Music Video

Directors: Luke Daly & Nathan Fagan (Luna) I edited the music video for Walking on Cars' "Monster"—a dark, intense track about inner conflict and emotional release. The official video features cinematic performance shots, moody lighting, and a narrative thread with Isabelle Connolly, all building to match the song's brooding energy and powerful choruses. In key sections, I applied datamoshing effects to create glitchy, distorted transitions and visual artifacts—intentionally corrupting frames to generate a raw, fractured, almost digital-pain aesthetic that mirrors the lyrics' sense of breaking down and being overwhelmed. This added an experimental edge, making the video feel unstable and emotionally charged, while still maintaining overall flow and sync to the track's driving rhythm.

Gold Blooded Women

Blood is Blood

Music Video

I directed this darkly funny music video for Gold Blooded Woman's debut single "Blood is Blood"—an electropop banger with disco-funk beats, snappy rhythms, and anthemic energy. The concept riffs on Lars and the Real Girl: Sarah falls hard for a mannequin ("Manny") during the honeymoon phase, only for the relationship to unravel in absurd, chaotic fashion. We shot on location around Kilkenny and Thomastown—dragging the mannequin through town, blending everyday Irish settings with over-the-top antics, quick cuts, vibrant styling, and cheeky humor that matches Sarah's bold creative voice. It showcases my knack for humorous, character-driven music videos that lean into the artist's personality and concept without taking themselves too seriously. Highlights & Press: Premiered via GCN as an "exceptional music video" where Sarah "falls for a mannequin"—praised for its Lars and the Real Girl inspiration and "gas but dark" energy.

Recipe videos showing easy ways to mix VIT HIT into smoothies, mocktails, and post-workout boosts.

AKKAN

Anima

Music Video

I created this deeply psychedelic music video for AKKAN's "Anima" (feat. Huaira)—a full immersion into woozy, liquid states of mind that mirrors the track's boundary-blurring organic-electronic sound. Shot and cut entirely by me, the visuals push boundaries with trippy, chromatic explorations: swirling distortions, fluid color shifts, abstract layering, hallucinogenic patterns, and surreal motion that evoke the duo's origins in a shamanic/hallucinogenic journey through Southern Africa. The piece embodies the song's "liquid" essence (born from untimed, free-flowing melodies on Access Virus and DSI Prophet synths), blending tribal percussion, shimmering analog tones, exotic vocals, and contagious grooves into a mind-bending visual feast. It's very much "out there"—raw psychedelic experimentation with immersive, beat-synced effects that amplify the track's hypnotic, borderless energy and themes of spiritual/organic connection.

Music Video

Artist: BARQ (Dublin four-piece: Jess Kav – vocals, Stephen McHale – guitar, Neil Dorrington – bass, Tommy Gray – drums) Genre/Style: Disco-Soul / Agrosoul / High-Energy Visuals for funky, introspective grooves Description: I shot and directed the official music video for BARQ's "I'm Blaming You"—a bold, infectious disco-soul track that dives into the discomfort of blaming others for personal failings while dodging self-accountability. The visuals capture the song's raw emotional punch and high-octane energy: dynamic camera work, vibrant lighting, rhythmic cuts, and performance-driven shots that highlight Jess Kav's powerful, soulful delivery and the band's tight groove. Drawing on my Geppetto toolkit, the video blends energetic live-band feel with stylistic flair—syncing to the pulsing beat, funky basslines, and lyrics about societal pressures to appear "successful, accepting, and gracious at all times."

Daithi

Soundome

Music Video

Soundome – a revolutionary geodesic dome live experience, combining immersive 360° surround sound (46 speakers + underfloor subs) with intimate, shoulder-to-shoulder audience setup for total sonic envelopment. The dome was assembled for the gig and dismantled afterward, making it a one-off, pop-up immersive event. Description: I shot and edited this live performance capture of Daithí playing inside the Soundome in Castlecomer—a truly unique, mind-blowing setup that turned the gig into an all-encompassing sonic and visual journey. Daithí's improvised set (synths, drum machines, live fiddle, and electronic grooves soaked in Irish culture) was perfectly suited to the dome's surround technology, creating an intimate yet expansive dance experience where the audience stood/danced right alongside the artist, fully immersed in the sound. My filming captured the energy of the performance: dynamic angles inside the geodesic structure, close-ups on Daithí's multi-instrumental setup (fiddle + electronics), crowd reactions, and the dome's architectural glow. In post-production, I edited it into a cohesive piece that preserves the event's magic—highlighting the innovative audio immersion, rhythmic builds, and Daithí's signature blend of trad Irish elements with modern house/dance—while conveying the one-night-only excitement.

AKKAN (Barcelona duo: BeGun & Ocellot – organic/tropical electronic with tribal, shamanic, and psychedelic influences) Genre/Style: Psychedelic / Organic-Electronic / Mind-Bending Visuals for hallucinogenic house I Shot & edited and crafted the visuals for this intensely psychedelic music video for AKKAN's "Salvia"—a track steeped in the duo's signature chromatic, organic-electronica sound, evoking the mind-altering, visionary states associated with the Salvia plant (divinorum). The video dives deep into "very out there" territory: swirling distortions, vibrant hallucinogenic patterns, fluid color explosions, abstract layering, and surreal motion graphics that sync to the song's tribal percussion, shimmering synths, and exotic, ritualistic grooves. The piece captures a full-on psychedelic immersion—raw, immersive, and boundary-pushing—to mirror the track's feverish energy and shamanic undertones. It's a visual trip that amplifies AKKAN's borderless, folk-infused club music, blending hypnotic rhythms with otherworldly imagery for a disorienting yet captivating experience. This early collaboration with AKKAN (preceding "El Mutal," "Anima," and the full AKKAN LP) set the tone for our shared aesthetic: bold experimentation in visuals that enhance their organic-electronic world-building.

Loah // Bantum

Keep Your Heart

Music Video

I edited the official music video for Loah's "Keep Your Heart" remix—featuring God Knows on bars, built on Bantum's minute-long This Heart Interlude loop, with Ben Bix and Dunny contributing production layers. This was the standout in Loah's remix series: the first to receive a full video accompaniment, turning the short instrumental into a poignant, vocal-driven piece that blends soulful introspection with rhythmic depth and guest energy. The video complements the track's emotional weight—God Knows' lyrics adding raw, reflective bars over the evolving beat—through careful editing that balances performance shots, atmospheric visuals, and rhythmic syncing to let the collaboration shine. My post-production shaped the footage into a cohesive, impactful piece: tight pacing to build emotional resonance, subtle transitions, and visual flow that honors the remix's transformation from interlude to full song.

We also ran evening gigs and film nights right in the shop—filming the live music performances, artist talks, and community vibe to showcase the studio as more than just a tattoo space, but a creative hub for art, music, and culture. I projection-mapped dynamic images and visuals onto models in the studio, creating striking, artistic portraits that blended body art with immersive digital effects—perfect for promotional use and highlighting the studio's innovative edge. These projects were all about fun, personality, and community—delivering high-energy, branded content that reflected Dublin Ink's reputation for talented artists in a friendly, open environment.

AKKAN

Bananat

Music Video

The visuals are very much "out there": vibrant, animated sequences full of trippy distortions, surreal character designs (by Marc Fernandez), swirling patterns, colorful hallucinations, and fluid motion graphics that sync to the song's contagious, boundary-blurring beats. It dives deep into psychedelic immersion—evoking tropical psychedelia, natural euphoria, and off-kilter house energy—while amplifying the track's natural, earthy yet mind-expanding vibe.

Elaine Mai

When I Go

Music Video

I shot and directed the official music video for Elaine Mai's "When I Go"—a serene yet powerful visual journey entirely filmed at a breathtaking lake just a ten-minute walk from where Elaine grew up in Mayo. This personal, natural location provided the perfect backdrop: calm waters, expansive skies, and shifting light that mirror the song's themes of gaining perspective, reconnecting with nature, clearing the mind, and moving from darkness into light. The video takes viewers on that emotional arc—starting in quieter, introspective moments and building toward a sense of release and renewal—through effortless, considered cinematography: wide landscape shots capturing the Irish wilderness, intimate close-ups on Elaine, subtle lighting transitions, and rhythmic edits synced to the track's emotive electronic layers and soaring vocals. It's a piece of visual art that works in tandem with the song, emphasizing simplicity, beauty, and emotional depth without overproduction. Premiered via GCN (Gay Community News) as a "brand new music video" shot at Elaine's childhood lake in Mayo—described as "breathtaking Irish landscape footage" and "an effortless but considered piece of visual art" (October 2017).

The Sunrise Inn

Short Film

Film

The Sunrise Inn was born from the creative pressure-cooker of a 2-day film festival in the historic town of Birr, Co. Offaly—where filmmakers get a weekend to conceive, shoot, and deliver a finished short film. I filmed and edited this piece, pulling together a tight, engaging story that made the most of the limited time, local locations, and talented cast. The Sunrise Inn follows a brother-and-sister hitman duo who have worked together seamlessly for years—until the brother starts having serious second thoughts about taking on any new kills. When a job comes in, he makes a radical choice: instead of pulling off the hit, he walks away from the life of violence and takes a gig playing music in a quiet bar, seeking redemption and a quieter existence. Shot on location in and around Birr (leveraging the town's historic charm and the real-life Sunrise Inn pub), the film was brought to life under extreme time constraints— quick setups, improvised solutions, and a frantic edit to meet the festival deadline. John Doran and Aoife Spratt delivered compelling, layered performances as the siblings, capturing the tension of their fractured partnership and the brother's internal conflict.

This collaboration blended my early filmmaking roots with fashion visuals, creating elegant, evocative content that aligned with Zoe Carol's creative identity.

Soundome

What is it

Corporate

I created a concise, engaging short video to explain the Soundome concept and its groundbreaking approach to live music. Shot on location inside the dome, the piece showcases the structure's unique design—geodesic framework, full 360° audio envelopment (46 speakers + subs for total immersion), pop-up assembly/dismantling, and the intimate audience experience where fans stand right next to the artist. The video uses clear narration, dynamic shots of the dome interior/exterior, sound demos (e.g., how audio feels from every angle), and simple motion graphics to illustrate the tech (speaker placement, wave propagation, before/after comparisons). Edited for social media and promo use—short runtime, punchy pacing, branded text overlays—helping introduce the venue to musicians, promoters, audiences, and potential partners.This project highlights the Soundome's innovation (a one-of-a-kind, transportable immersive stage) while tying into my work filming and explaining live music experiences

King Kong Company

Donkey Jaw

Music Video

Genre/Style: High-Energy / Psychedelic / Disorienting Visuals for chaotic, party-anthem track I edited the official music video for King Kong Company's "Donkey Jaw"—a full-on, bouncy banger that's equal parts public service announcement and hedonistic call-to-arms. The track is a spoken-word rant over pounding beats, celebrating (and cautioning about) over-indulgence in "social lubricants" (Buckfast, MDMA, mushrooms)—a colorful, irreverent commentary on pleasure-seeking and excess, delivered with the band's signature bastardised glory and festival-ready energy. The video is a mind-bending ride: fast cuts, equilibrium-shaking effects, chaotic imagery, and raw, in-your-face visuals that sync perfectly to the song's relentless groove and lyrics ("nothin off of that," "head on ya"). My editing shaped the footage into a disorienting, immersive experience—tight pacing to build frenzy, rhythmic transitions, and visual overload that amplifies the track's euphoric yet cautionary tone, making it feel like a psychedelic party gone gloriously wrong. This project aligns with my work on high-impact, personality-driven videos (e.g., Gold Blooded Woman's cheeky concepts, AKKAN's psychedelic trips, BARQ's soulful energy), and captures King Kong Company's live-wire spirit (known for epic gigs at Electric Picnic, festivals, and their "hedonists choice" ethos). Highlights & Press: Praised as "a full-on, energetic, bouncy, banger" (Hot Press) and "barnstormer" (The Thin Air); visuals called "class" and Prodigy-esque (JOE.ie).

The piece captures the hands-on process of urban beekeeping—close-ups of frames, bees at work, hive inspections, and Gearóid's passion for producing local, postcode-specific raw honey across Dublin. Filmed on location at one of the project's apiaries (rooftop or urban site), the video blends educational storytelling with natural visuals: gentle pacing, macro shots of bees/honeycomb, and Gearóid's insights on sustainability, craft, and bringing nature back into the city. It's warm, informative, and engaging—designed to inspire interest in urban beekeeping and the project's goal of a hive in every Dublin postcode.

Geppetto - Et Cetera

EP & Photography

Film,Music Video,Music,Geppetto

Concept: Inspired by the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) and their moai statues—how a society poured all its resources into monumental creations, ultimately leading to ecological strain. The parallel draws to modern Ireland: tower stations and fossil-fuel infrastructure as our own "moai", symbols of progress built at the cost of finite resources. Visual Piece: I created a site-specific visual artwork for the EP, shown at Clonmel Arts Festival. The piece used projection, light, and subtle motion to evoke the moai's silent presence and the weight of resource use—blending ancient island imagery with contemporary Irish power infrastructure in a quiet, haunting way.Photography Book: With my friend Ricardo Kump (Brazilian photographer), we produced a limited photography book. We travelled the south of Ireland photographing electricity pylons, wind turbines, and other tower stations—framing them as modern equivalents to the moai: imposing, solitary, and built from the land's resources. The images are stark, almost sculptural, letting the parallel emerge without words. The EP, visual piece, and book together form a quiet meditation on creation, cost, and what we leave behind. Photography book: Paul Mahon & Ricardo Kump Exhibited: Clonmel Arts Festival

Geppetto - Et Cetera

Non-Narrative Film

Geppetto,Visuals

et cetera is a non-narrative film inspired by the salutary tale of the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island. A fascinating story of the collapse of a society in isolation and eradication of nature resources in the creation of their Moai statues. The parallels between our own Power Stations and the Moai, standing stubborn, sea-­facing and completely depleting a finite natural resource are bleak. This visual depicts our frivolous use of power and throwaway living suggested the name ‘Et Cetera’ ­ literally meaning ‘and other things’. It posits a future ahead that begins to resemble a worst case scenario...

Shot with precise lighting and movement to bring the miniature world to life—dynamic angles on the figures, pitch details, and action sequences that made the tabletop feel energetic and authentic. The spot aired around the 2014 championship, generating fan buzz for its clever concept and nostalgic appeal. Director: Kate Nolan

Music Video

I edited the official fan footage video for Linkin Park's "Until It's Gone"—a powerful, crowd-sourced live piece from their Milan headline set. The band invited fans to capture the song (a brooding, guitar-driven rocker from The Hunting Party), resulting in hundreds of clips submitted via the FanFootageHQ platform.My role involved sifting through and assembling the raw fan material into a seamless, high-impact video: syncing multi-angle shots of the band (Chester Bennington's vocals, Mike Shinoda's rap, Joe Hahn's turntables, Brad Delson's guitar, Rob Bourdon's drums, Dave Farrell's bass) with crowd energy, stage lights, and the song's emotional builds. The editing focused on rhythmic cuts, dynamic pacing, and emotional flow—blending the best fan perspectives to create an immersive, unified live experience that feels like one cohesive performance while honoring the community contribution.

Jerry Fish

Barefoot and Free

Music Video

Animation / Post-Production: Moises Oliveira & Ricardo Kump I wrote, directed, shot, and edited the official music video for Jerry Fish's "Barefoot $ Free"—a joyful, liberating anthem celebrating freedom, simplicity, and living without constraints. The visuals capture that barefoot, carefree spirit: dynamic performance shots of Jerry in full charismatic flow, location-based sequences emphasizing natural, unfiltered energy, and rhythmic edits synced to the song's infectious groove and uplifting lyrics. The video blends Jerry's signature personality—vibrant, eccentric, and engaging—with a polished yet raw aesthetic, highlighting themes of shedding worries and embracing the moment. It was a fun, collaborative project in the Irish music scene, aligning with my Geppetto work providing visuals for acts like Jerry Fish (ongoing links from earlier collabs) and emphasizing high-energy, feel-good storytelling.

Action Figures

A few years back, myself and Mick Minogue teamed up for a proper silly project: fake 1980s-style action figure TV adverts starring the two LeCool owners, Michael and Ciaran, as the action heroes of their own ridiculous universe. We leaned hard into the retro cheese—over-the-top voiceovers, dramatic zooms, explosions of motion graphics, toy-box packaging shots, and every classic 80s commercial cliché we could cram in. The whole thing was built around glorifying Michael & Ciaran as larger-than-life action figures, complete with ridiculous accessories, catchphrases, and a barrage of shiny, glowing motion graphics to sell the fantasy. It was pure fun, made to surprise and delight the LeCool crew and their audience—short, punchy, and very 80s in the best/worst way.

James Cooper

Epitaph

Music Video

I directed, shot, and edited the official music video for James Cooper's "Epitaph," one of the standout tracks from his 2012 album Foreign Cities (a 10-track collection of introspective indie/folk-rock with emotional depth). This video was created as part of the Foreign Cities Music Films project, where James briefed 9 Dublin-based directors (including myself as Geppetto) to each create an open-brief "music film" for a chosen track—allowing full creative freedom for narrative, experimental, or traditional promo styles. Starring Shane Guerrini in the lead role, the video brings a cinematic narrative to the song's melancholic, reflective lyrics—exploring themes of loss, legacy, or personal epitaphs through character-driven storytelling, atmospheric visuals, and emotional performance. Highlights & Context: Part of the Foreign Cities Music Films series (2011–2012): 10 videos by directors including Niall Staines, Maciej Pestka, Sophie Merry, James Cooper himself, Daniel Coss, Mark Duggan, Jennifer Hyland, Geppetto (me), and Tom Lennon.

FTLO

Progress

Visuals

For the FTLO (For the Love of PROGRESS) show, I designed and built a fully functional custom "vinyl player" that embodied the theme of technological and entertainment evolution—from analog vinyl records to digital video formats. The device looked like a classic turntable, complete with physical buttons for selecting tracks. However, there was no actual vinyl disc—instead, the music video played directly where the record would normally sit, projected onto the platter surface. Pressing a button triggered the corresponding track's video to play in the projection, creating an interactive, seamless illusion: users "selected" songs on a retro player, but experienced modern digital video entertainment. This hybrid piece visually and interactively demonstrated progression: the physical form paid homage to vinyl's tactile history, while the projected content represented the shift to video/streaming formats. It was a highlight of the show—engaging audiences, sparking conversations about media evolution, and blending practical engineering (buttons, projection alignment) with creative direction and video production.

Act Without Words II

Film

I filmed & Edited Act Without Words II for Company SJ, Sarah Jane Scaife's theatre company dedicated to re-presenting Samuel Beckett's work in contemporary Irish and international contexts. This Beckett mime—featuring two protagonists (A and B) emerging from sacks in a confined space, compelled into mechanical daily routines by an unseen goad (a stick or whistle)—was reimagined as a powerful outdoor installation in urban alleys, underpasses, and public spaces across cities. My filming captured the essence of these site-specific performances: the stark lighting contrasts, physical precision of the actors (Keane and Burroughs delivering intense, wordless physicality), the urban framing, and the interplay between Beckett's text/directions and the surrounding environment. This documentation preserves the ephemeral nature of the installations—highlighting how the piece resonates differently in each location while staying faithful to Beckett's frieze-like, violently lit platform aesthetic.

Geppetto

Storm in a Teacup

Music Video,Music,Geppetto

Cast Highlights: Joe Lydon (as Fillipo Colodi / the melancholy inventor) Naomi Coyle (model/performer) Lisa Tighe (supporting) Synopsis & Background: A musical tale of a happenstance vision and its fall from the sky. In a bid to regain possession, a melancholy inventor leaves his aerial abode and ventures earthbound only to find more than expected... The film features two Geppetto tracks from the era (instrumental/experimental pieces tied to the band's sound), woven into the narrative as score and emotional drivers. It tells a whimsical yet melancholic story of an inventor chasing a lost vision (symbolic and dreamlike), blending romance, quiet humor, and visual poetry. The collaboration with Zoe Carol brought in fashion elements—elegant, conceptual costumes that enhanced the film's aesthetic—while Joe Lydon's performance grounded the surreal elements in character depth. Presentation & Context At the Kilkenny Arts Festival 2011, Geppetto returned without the full live band (after the 2009 Amiina support slot debut). Instead, the finished EP was presented through two short films, with Storm in a Teacup as the main piece. It screened alongside a live solo track performance, creating a hybrid audio-visual experience. The film also showed at the Dublin Fashion Festival that year, highlighting the fashion-film crossover. This project exemplifies the "factotum" ethos of Geppetto—merging my film direction/editing roots with music composition and collaborative visuals. It built on the Geppetto band/collective (with members like Colm O'Caoimh, Jeremy Hickey, Jane Murphy, Margie Lewis) and paved the way for later narrative shorts like TRACES.

Eric

Short Film

Film

As my end-of-year project at Pulse Recording College in 2010, students were tasked with writing a short film script. Mine—a tender, quirky story about a lonely man and his puppet, exploring themes of isolation, companionship, and unconventional love—was selected from the class to be produced. Titled Eric, the film follows a puppeteer's heartfelt (and humorous) love story with his handmade creation, blending comedy, drama, and a touch of whimsy in a character-driven narrative. David Thompson delivered a standout performance as the central lonely figure, bringing warmth and vulnerability to the role. The soundtrack featured evocative original music composed by longtime collaborator Colm O'Caoimh (piano/violin/keys from the Geppetto band era), alongside a personal composition from me—tying together the film's emotional layers with subtle, atmospheric sound design. This student project punched above its weight: it went on to win a prize at the Canadian International Film Festival in the student film category, marking an early international recognition for my filmmaking. It also screened as part of my portfolio at various festivals and helped solidify my transition from early Geppetto visuals and music into more narrative-driven short films.

Jeremy as RSAG has played nearly all venues and festivals in Ireland as well as playing on RTE's The Saturday show and The View. I also created the kaleidoscopic visuals for this official music video, blending immersive, beat-synced effects with hypnotic patterns and abstract imagery that complement RSAG's signature fusion of frenzy and serenity. The track—produced by Jeremy Hickey, mixed by Mick Heffernan, with lyrics co-written by Jeremy Hickey and Jamie Walsh—draws inspiration from scientific explorations of black holes, building relentless momentum with commanding vocals, strings, and powerful drumming. My contributions emphasize dynamic, psychedelic motion graphics and visual layering that mirror the song's cosmic themes and rhythmic drive, enhancing the human-fueled energy RSAG is known for.

A Summer Well Wasted

A Kilkenny Skate Video

Sport

Shot throughout the summer of 2003 on MiniDV with a small crew of local skaters around Kilkenny and nearby spots (the streets, car parks, and any flat ledges we could find). No budget, no sponsors—just friends, a borrowed camera, and a lot of time skating, falling, and filming. The edit was done on a basic setup (Adobe Premiere Pro), with a full soundtrack of tracks we loved at the time (punk, hip-hop, whatever was blasting at the time). It captured that golden, endless-feeling summer vibe: bail montages, the odd make, and the pure joy of just being out skating every day. It never got a massive online release (pre-YouTube era), but copies were burned on DVDs as well as VHS and passed around the Irish skate scene. It was the thing that made me realise I wanted to keep filming and editing—not just for skateboarding, but as a way to tell stories and freeze moments.
