Irish Fair of Minnesota 2011 Highlight Reel

Posted by Sean Smyth on 08 Sep 2011 / 2 Comments

I had a 9 day internship opportunity at the Irish Fair of Minnesota, USA over the summer which I got through the Atlantic Academy. Over the course of my internship I did some of their social media and I photographed the entire weekend for them too.

While there I saw an opportunity to put together a sort of promo/highlights video for the Fair as it was something that I thought was missing from my research before I went over there. So I took it upon myself to shoot and edit a short reel for them over the duration of the Fair.

Since then, the director of the Fair has got in contact with me and she wishes to use the video to show to prospective sponsors for future fairs which is really cool!

Amazingly unique Clock Design.

I’ve really been listening to a lot of The Beatles lately,  largely because I got The Beatles: Rockband, and I particularly love “Here comes the Sun”.

Jason Mraz takes on Winter Wonderland. Well, might I add.

Alma is a fantastic 3D short film. Really fantastic.

Oxygen from Christopher Hendryx is another really groovy short 3D film.

TakeTwo Productions Logo Design

Posted by Sean Smyth on 17 Feb 2009 / 1 Comment

Today I completed a project that isn’t due until Friday the 20th of February. This project was to design and create a Film Production Company Logo. On our first day of this semester, our lecturer made us all come up with our own Film Production Company name. Later, the names were shared and swapped throughout the class and, in essence, everyone became someone elses client.

I was chosen to design and conceptualise a logo for someone who’s Production Company was called “TakeTwo”. Firstly, I had to come up with an idea and this was achieved my quickly sketching some basic ideas with pencil and paper. After about 20 some jumped out at me as being pretty good and then I felt that I should draw them out in greater detail just to show them in a better light.

I showed these drawings to my client and she chose here favourite one which, coincidentally, was mine too. I then drew this up on Adobe Illustrator. I did some little tweaks that I thought would improve it even more at this stage.

It was at this stage that I added the film reel cut-outs to tie it in with the Film Production Company. I also made the “PRODUCTIONS” type a little smaller than “TAKE TWO” as there was no need for it to be as prominant.

Tada! All done. I’m pretty happy with it. :)

However, I’m not all done there. We then had to make a Compimentary Slip, Business card and Headed Paper. All of which, can be seen below.

Silent Love – A Silent Short

Posted by Sean Smyth on 07 Dec 2008 / 0 Comment

Silent Love is a short produced by “Lads and Lassies”, a group of Creative Multimedia students studying at DkIT. The film parodies the silent movie era and coincidentally aims to be funny. I’ve been told that this has been achieved so lemme know what you think.

Oh, I directed and edited it by the way! :D
