We’re a special effects company based in Dublin. We work with both digital and practical makeup fx and just put this showreel together of some of our work so far, thought it might be of interest.
Warning: extreme clown dismemberment ahead.

An excellent, award winning 2013 short by Jill Beardsworth and Keith Walsh of Twopair Films in which a group of men sit in a West of Ireland pub on the day of the analogue to digital TV switchover, baffled at the vagaries of a fast changing world.

Ballydehob.
The town that wouldn’t die.

Here’s a nice short film that Broadsheet readers might like – it’s a documentary on my home village (Ballydehob, Co. Cork), by a local film-maker, Sarah McCullough Canty. It charts the decline of the village in the face of cutbacks, unemployment and emigration, but also finds out how the people of the village are keeping the place alive. Ballydehob’s solution is to hold festivals – lots of them! Featuring a lot of community spirit, resourcefulness, and my brother explaining the great Ballydehob Turnip Race :)
Adam Buxton channels Bowie recording the ‘rivetingly depressing’ Warszawa (1977) with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti in this nifty animation by the mighty Brothers McLeod.
