My Phone Genie is a quirky kids comedy series for ITV / CITV / ZDF (Germany) about a girl who downloads a genie app that turns into an actual genie. It was shot in Studio Solas, Spiddal, Co. Galway with the cast being predominantly from the UK. Our brief was to follow the cast and crew for the last week of a six-month run of shooting and produce a series of videos including a full half-hour special and a number of cast-featurettes. This was a tremendous amount of fun to shoot with a lot of the quirkiness of the series and characters (and crew!) seeping into the Behind the Scenes. The results were multiple online videos with broadcast-potential.
Croan Cottages was one of those lovely jobs where you get to eat delicious food, sleep in super comfortable beds and shoot children, all in one day. It was also the ideal place to try out the new crane. They say you should always avoid shooting animals and children, well these videos are chockablock with both. Result was a 2′ 00″ and a 30″ version for YouTube & cottage website.

$2 million Bluetooth sensors*, 300 hundred year old folk music, weird tether things, and collective musical orgasms. This was such an exciting project to work on, and such exciting people to work with. SciLens was a cross-continental collaboration between the nine incredible musicians of the Yurodny Ensemble, the Dublin Laptop Orchestra and world-leader in computer music, Dan Trueman. It was a marriage of science, tradition and music. We spent the week of their collaboration enthralled by the energy, innovation and pure talent of all involved.
