Last evening we took some time to socialise outside the studio. It was the launch of the 22nd Galway Film Fleadh and we went along to enjoy some wine and samosas.
The highlights of the up coming programme include Toy Story 3, The Illusionist and of course Miss Remarkable and her Career.
Last week was the Galway Film Fleadh and it is always a great time to catch up with the animation people from around the country. One of the only times in the year where we all manage to get together under the one (usually a pub) roof.
During the chit chat Michael managed to whip out his iPhone for a quick snap shot of the moment and here in the photo from left to right, is myself, Jeremy, Mr. Will Collins (writer on The Variety Show & Song of the Sea), Sir Tomm Moore (Director and Head Honcho of Cartoon Saloon as well as Director on The Secret of Kells), Master Barry O’Donoghue (Chief of Barley Films and Producer of many an award winning short at the fleadh), and the lovely Madame Liselott, the better half of Tomm.
Not only have we put together the GFF Animations for the last few years but we have also been involved in the Festival Website.

For the last few years, since 2005, we have produced The Galway Film Fleadh’s Trailer. It is a 30 piece of animation that plays before the films and on the Eyre Square big screen throughout the festival as well as on tv and in selected cinemas throughout the country running up to the July festival. It has always been a great project to be involved in and it allows us to try out different techniques in our animation.
Below are some of the trailers from pervious years.
