Claudine Leonard Design

Digital Marketer Claudine Leonard was a member of the Video Marketing for Business blended online course we ran over 4 weeks with the Laois Partnership in May 2021.

One of the practical assignments was to make a Frequently Asked Questions video, which she did on the InShot app combined with visuals designed in Canva.

I think the result was terrific!

Our Video Marketing for Business course is a bespoke 4-week course in which small businesses learn the essentials of video making to market their businesses – by the end, they have a range of videos made, from video interviews, promo videos and FAQ videos. We were commissioned by the Laois Partnership in association with Laois County Council to run this course.

A Tour of the Children’s Garden at the National Botanic Gardens

We taught a group from the Office of Public works in early 2021. One of the videos that was produced was this lovely virtual tour of the Children’s Education Garden in the National Botanic Gardens from Melissa O’Biren. Melissa’s use of multiple, dynamic shots make for a very engaging video.

Irish Network Against Racism

In this very concise video, Aga from the Irish Network Against Racism talks about their recent “Responding to Racism Guide”. She makes excellent use of transitions and animations to help give us an overview of the guide and clearly communicates where we can find it.

Exploring Figure Drawing with Rebecca Deegan

Rebecca Deegan is a Visual Artist based in county Laois. She joined us on one of our group courses to learn how to better use video to promote her art and her art courses. In this video Rebecca is advertising her “Exploring Figure Drawing” course that she runs online. She uses text to great effect to help convey her message and highlight the important points in her video.

Vagabond Tours

Vagabond tours came to us in early 2020 so we could help them tell their own stories and share the beautiful Irish landscapes they work in with the world.

Our goal for the session was to energise our team ahead of the coming season and inspire them to try new techniques in shooting video. This was put to a stern test within weeks. After Covid-19 struck, we turned to our tour guides to create content for our social channels.

The results have been fantastic. Themed around Ireland both pre- and post-lockdown, the videos have strengthened communication with our audience across all of our social channels. One of the most satisfying aspects has been the amazing contributions of certain team members who wouldn’t have previously been confident shooting video before your training session.”

Event Announcement from the NRF

Events & Marketing Coordinator for the National Recruitment Federation, Anna Douglas, made this excellent video with the CEO, Geraldine King. Using video to promote their upcoming conference was a great way to inform people of what’s happening while creating a buzz around the event.  

Putting Lucan on the Tourist Map

Gemma Tuffy recorded this interview and story which illustrates how a video interview combined with text and some extra shots can make an effective story to engage with your audience. Joanna is a local councillor in the Lucan area of Dublin. Gemma learnt how to record and edit this all on her smartphone.  and edited Gemma participated in one of regular training sessions with members of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. 

Search & Recovery: The Challenging Role of the Navy Diver

Lorna Siggins is a print and radio reporter who did our podcasting course recently. Obviously not being a stranger to audio recording and production, the course helped Lorna refine her radio skills to create online podcasting content. 

Here she is for Afloat.ie with a podcast recorded in challenging conditions.

Losing My Religion by Joe Armstrong

Humanist celebrant and former student for the Catholic priesthood, Joe Armstrong has put his podcasting skills to work, creating an engaging and thought provoking podcast about questioning the powers that be and thinking for yourself.
