It is no accident that Loopline's Corporates to-date have been a mirror
image of our TV productions. Specialists in the areas of Culture, Literature,
Education, Architecture, and Social Issues, our clients include the Office
of Public Works, the Department of the Environment and The National Museum.Because of the high production values Loopline invests in it projects we have now built up a formidable resource of Archive footage. The material has been mostly shot on Super 16 film, Beta and Digital. Some of the best-known camera operators in Ireland have been gathering this material for Loopline Productions. Renowned camera operators like: John T. Davis, Garry Keane, Robbie Ryan, Liam McGrath, Donal Gilligan, and Michael O'Donovan, have been behind the cameras that have gathered this rich catalogue of Archive.
Consistent strong production values, good script, and graphics are always at the forefront in bringing home the client's goals to their intended audience. Specialists in the areas of Culture, Literature, Education, Architecture, and Social Issues, our clients include the Office of Public Works, the Department of the Environment and The National Museum. Our clients are in the business of quality and Loopline Film is a perfect partner.
Our clients know we always play to our strengths regardless of the size of the budget available. Much of our work is on constant view in key public buildings around the country such as in the National Museum's Country Life Museum in Castlebar where we have utilized material drawn from our folk life series 'Hidden Treasures' to create a new fifteen minute film 'Ordinary Things' which runs constantly on a custom made DVD. Another prime example is the film we created for the visitor's centre in Dublin's Custom House detailing the life and work of James Gandon, the architect who built the Custom House. In the field of education our vibrant film 'College Rhythm' has also proved to be a valuable tool to Griffith College Dublin in getting school leavers to enrol on their courses.
We are the company of choice for many organisations dedicated to the performing arts, generally creating high quality visual records of their work that are later used as promotional tools in the national and international arena. Team Theatre, Rubato Ballet, Daghda Dance Company and Operating Theatre are amongst our growing list of clients.
Our clients are in the business of quality and Loopline is a perfect partner. The ultimate accolade to date has been to win the OPW commission to make 'Farmleigh - The Story Of A House'. 'Farmleigh' is a one hour documentary that tells the history of how the original home of Edward Cecil Guinness, has been transformed into Ireland's State residence for visiting dignitaries. 'Farmleigh's' primary destination is TV and in that sense is not strictly a corporate but it clearly demonstrates that in the niche area of films that reflect Ireland's cultural infrastructure Loopline can tell your stories best.

Daghdha Dance Company - Reverse Psychology & 2x2xfive
Client: Daghdha Dance Company
Director: Sé Merry Doyle
Loopline captures one of Ireland's top contemporary dance companies in
this exciting new show. Reverse Psychology: "A production created over
time resulting in a mosaic of myriad movement which navigates the eclectic
labyrinth of its own creation".
'Reverse Psychology: TEN THOUSAND STEPS' was presented in five parts.
Each section dealt with the history of Limerick in the 1920s and was performed
outdoors in Saint Mary's Parish. A seven-foot cube, a trademark of the
'Reverse Psychology' project provided the stage where there was none.
The third section focused on the history of Limerick in the 1950s and
was presented in Saint Mary's Hall, Limerick. The final performance incorporated
dance with sound and media and was followed by a brief reception.
A tour guide
who acted as both a storyteller and the paparazzi led the audience members
to each performance location. This dance spectacle featured thirty performers
including twenty professional dancers and local performers of all ages
participated in this extraordinary performance experience.

Operating Theatre At The Peacock - Chair

Suggestions for broadcasters: Would suit digital TV where experimentation

Operating Theatre is known as one of the most experimental companies in Ireland. We captured their new show that goes into the disturbing subject of execution by electric chair. Acclaimed actress Olwen Fouere takes centre stage and is accompanied by the music of Roger Doyle.
College Rhythm - Griffith College
Client: Griffith College
Director: Barry Dignam
Producer: Sé Merry Doyle
Griffith College approached Loopline to make them a corporate with a difference, one that would make their courses appealing to school goers. To do this Loopline assessed every department, involving both lecturers and students to find the right balance. The result was a high-energy film, with stylised enactments of activities both academic and recreational with upbeat music bringing up the pace a notch or two. Griffith College later carried out an in-house survey about 'College Rhythm' amongst its many departments, all of whom felt that the video was a success and significantly helped to attract school leavers to enrol at the college.
