[008] Journal
Thoughts
Fresh perspectives from behind the camera: notes on planning, shooting and finishing films, written in Dublin.
About this journal
This is where I write about the parts of filmmaking that don't fit in a showreel: how I plan a shoot before the camera comes out, why I compose for motion rather than stills, and why sound is half the picture.
The notes are short and practical, written for marketing teams, founders and anyone commissioning video who wants to understand what goes into a film and how to get more out of the process. New notes are added as projects wrap. If there's something you'd like me to write about, email me.
