Donnacha Dennehy

July

Music Video

I’ve been dying to properly share this music video I made for Donnacha Dennehy’s divine piece of music, July. This all came together so smoothly and easily - shot in 1 day, and serendipitously - I bumped into the one and only Camille O’Sullivan at the opening of SAFE HOUSE and asked if she’d be interested. She said yes. She’s the best.

A few weeks previously, I’d met the new owners of Coolattin house and they kindly gave permission to shoot in the house.

I went to the Abbey Theatre costume stores and hired a single dress - which fit Camille and the house perfectly.

Post-production took a week or so. Match-moved in Syntheyes, organic growth all done in Blender, compositing in Resolve and Fusion. Shot on Blackmagic 6k, with an Instagram 360 as piggy-back ‘witness-cam’, all on a DJI RS2 Pro.

Please check out Donnacha’s full album - Land of Winter - that July is from, and also, Hugh O’Connor’s stunning video for another track, November.
