Last month myself, Sebastian Wiegaertner and Nino Leitner held the second DSLR masterclass in Majorca. It was the first one I attended. It was a huge success. 3 days seems like a really good time to get theory done, make a film and go through post, although I am sure another day or so would have helped. There is so much to talk about but because we were all staying in the same hotel we were able to continue into the evening over drinks and when the 30 students broke up into 6 teams to make their individual films based on challenges we set them.
Day one was in depth theory, timelapse including a sunset timelapse shoot, day two was sound then shooting the films. Day three was post and editing.
Below are the 6 films from the teams, remember these were shot mostly in one afternoon (apart from one team which filmed late into the night that I supervised)
Although we have no current concrete plans for when our next 3 day workshop will be it will definitely happen sooner rather than later. In the meantime enjoy the 6 films (and my own film that I made at the end of the workshop which some of the students who didn’t go home straight away helped me with) and the very silly photos.
It was an immensely fun 3 days and I am pretty sure everyone had a terrific time and learned a lot. Great people, gorgeous place. Can’t wait to do it again!! If you are interested in attending one drop a line in the comments, we are also thinking of bringing it to North America. First up is a BTS then the films themselves!

Advertising , Marketing and Promotion
video production Dublin
While advertisers are becoming more selective in how they chose to spend their promotional dollars with broadcast television, other venues for commercials such as online video pre-roll, online sponsorships, in-game advertising, event sponsorships and in-theatre advertising are starting to take the place of broadcast / cable commercials. A proliferation of video screens cropping up on every building, device and structure will create an even more diverse set of advertising opportunities. The challenge will be to create specialized content targeted to ever- shrinking niche audiences.
Viral Video for website Dublin
A video is viral if it is so compelling that people want to share it. (Calling a video ‘Viral’ doesn’t make it so). Viral videos have to be extremely engaging, entertaining, shocking or meaningful to be successful. Unfortunately some of the most successful viral videos have little connection (and therefore value) to any brand. Everyone references ‘Will it Blend’ but very few viral videos are remotely this successful in actually driving sales. Viral video is very difficult to do well.
Email Video
Testing has shown that open rates can double if you include video in your email marketing activities. To be effective the video should be purpose-built to elicit a specific conversion activity such as requesting a demo, more info, etc. E-mail is seeing a resurgence with marketers and embedded video in emails (like gmail supports) or links to video in email is becoming very popular.
Infomercials
Infomercials have been around forever. While they continue to be the primary focus of web-based parody videos they have remained remarkably resilient over time. The shopping channel is, in effect, a 24 hour infomercial. If done well, Infomercials can be very effective at selling certain consumer products.
Content Marketing video in Dublin
This is a broad category that will become very important over the next months and years. Much of the content (video or otherwise) being created today by companies is focused on selling and focused on the brand. Focusing on solving your customers problems first and then associating your brand with those solutions will be increasingly more important and effective. What knowledge do you have that can help your customers and prospects. People don’t go to your website to see your sales pitch. They go to see if you can solve their problem.
Landing pages and micro sites
Video is beginning to replace or supplement text and graphics as a content element on many corporate websites. Landing pages can offer a more compelling call to action with video. Some micro sites on larger web properties are self contained, purpose-built conversion machines that have the singular purpose of generating a conversion activity (sign-up for more info, attend event, order something etc.). Video is becoming an important part of the conversion process.
