It’s been a busy week so far with Peedy, Ryan, Gary, Adam and Mark C at a secret Belfast location filming for a Whitenoise client, with read-throughs, auditions, rehearsals, props sourcing and set up, and finally filming all happening in a highly compressed timescale.

We’re making good progress but by close of play today we’ll all be feeling liked baked tomatoes under the glare of the studio lights. A weekend off, then it’s back to Whitenoise for another intensive week in post. How rock n roll are we? Photographic evidence below:

It’s all good stuff.

IT’S THE END OF AN ERA…
Seventeen sets of tearful eyes today say ‘adios y buenas suerte’ to Brian Mulholland as he retires from Whitenoise after eight fun years at the sharp end of number crunching as our finance director.

He has fought his battle with cancer so well over the last couple of years, but now he plans to spend his precious time with Franci and get to ‘see a bit of Ireland’ over the coming months with our blessing.

To say he will be missed is a huge understatement… as a member of the team, all knowing counsellor and unforgettable friend, the place will not be the same without him.

Dad, I will miss you. Always having a second opinion next door, someone to give off to and someone to learn from. Enjoy your time and don’t be a stranger to the studio!

We’re delighted to announce that Whitenoise have just been appointed by the Grand Opera House Belfast to work on season programme promotions for 2010/11. Keep checking back for more news on this account as it develops over the coming weeks and months…

I don’t think this needs any explanation. Really.

It’s been far too long since my last update, so apologies. Here’s a quick roundup of some of the projects that have been keeping us busy of late. First up, some good news:

BBC Awards Success…
BBC Northern Ireland were chuffed to win a ‘Best Partnership’ award at the BBC internal marketing awards for 2010, with their work on the ‘Tall Ships’ campaign. Beating off such high profile competition as Eastenders and the BBC iPlayer, this was a special achievement for us as it was the first project we worked on with the BBC NI team!

Show Time Again…
We are delighted to have secured the Balmoral Show account for another three years. There was a lot of competition to secure this high profile account, but Paul and his team of agri-creative geniuses won the day, so watch out for more show fun next year!

Right – now onto the work: First up check out the latest edition of Northern News, by yours truly…

Next up, I know this one is kind of old news and the project has already been highlighted in a previous post, but these outdoor apps of the Beat Carnival’s Puppet Picnic were too nice not to show. This one’s a bit of a team effort, with Rory, Mark Canavan and Christine all working on different elements…

Next up we’ve Lynsay’s promo work for Carrick Council’s Amphitheatre…

And her branding for the Carrick Summer Band concert programme…

Sticking with Lynsay, here’s her latest for Invest NI’s staff magazine, InsideInvest…

Moving onto National Museums, here’s Kerries promo work for the NMNI American Independence Day events at the Ulster American Folk Park…

Closely followed by Christine’s work on their Bluegrass Festival…

And while we’re on NMNI, say hello to Rory and Paul’s delightful catalogue to commemorate the exhibition of paintings from the Ulster Museum currently on loan to Number 10 Downing Street…

Staying with NMNI, here’s the new ads I worked on for their current Summer brand campaign…

And here’s Lynsay’s doordrop mailer…

And finally, we have Christine’s ‘Kids Go Free’ campaign…

Moving on to the the continuously growing Survitec Group, here’s a quick look at my ongoing brand development work…

And that’s about it for now. Keep checking back for more graphical goodness.
