This is pretty cool. An Irish Times blog post discussed the latest Bell Jar book cover and hand picked Cethan’s contribution to the parody, mentioning that he is also the writer of the “sly Irish short Flipping Channels”. Here it is, in all its glory:
Filming of The Beast of Bath has finally started! Hopefully we’ll have it done in time for the Fastnet Film Festival.

Looks like things have been pretty quiet on the site for the past while, ‘You Know the Words‘ is still in post production limbo but with Fastnet Film Festival’s Call For Entries starting soon I’m hoping to finish it just in time before the deadline closes.
‘Dump‘ is still in Pre-Production phase, I’m still working on the storyboards which is helping to flesh out a lot of details in the script. Here’s a quick screencap of how some of them are looking:
We’ve also re-recorded ‘Beast of Bath‘, we brought two actors Cathal O’Donovan and Sarah Maloney to record dialogue at a professional recording studio ( my living room ).
As opposed to making an animation, we’re naturally going to go with a diorama instead. Here’s some test footage we’ve prepped up for it.

Editing You Know the Words is still ongoing but I’ve reached the important milestone of finally getting around to finishing the opening credit music and adding it to the edit. The film is now likely going to have a running time of about 7 to 7:30 minutes, with the juxtaposition of cuts being almost finished, the next large portion of work will go into audio work and grading. So far it’s looking pretty good but there is still tonnes left more to do.

We’ve just recently finished writing the first draft of ‘Dump’ and added Fabian Sweeney to the writing team. A considerable amount of time has been put into discussing and improving every aspect of the original script treatment in order to make it work, with Fabian’s input we’ve ended up being a lot closer to having a solid script!
In the meantime a lot still needs to be done, new equipment is being purchased, storyboards still need to be finished, many test shots need to be taken and we’ve have yet to finalise the cast but all in all it’s looking pretty good so far!

I’ve recently invested in a Wacom tablet for the purpose of storyboarding films and just doodling around for fun. The script is still being worked on but that doesn’t stop me from storyboarding some scenes. Production could either start in November or December depending how confident we are with the script. Anyway, here are two relatively spoiler free sketches of ‘Dump’:

Happy to announce that a new film is in the works: 
I’m keeping somewhat tight lipped about the story, a certain wise cracking feline may or may not make an appearance. We’ve finished the first rough draft and still need to write proper dialogue and rework some scenes, I’ve already started storyboarding on those . If it all goes well, production will start as soon as next month.
“You Know The Words” is still in post production, it’s looking good so far but there is still a lot of work to do.
At some point in the past month, we were exploring the possibility of making a Christmas film. Cethan had come up with an excellent twist to the joyous occasion but it looks like we’re might be going to attempt filming it for next year.

Happy to announce that shooting has finished for a new Cethan Leahy film titled “You Know The Words” which tells the story of a trendy young couple who discover a haunted record. Shooting started from 10 am and completed around 7:30 PM, we did fantastically well on time and pretty much had all the shots we need. We rented Light Equipment this time around, a first, and also had 2 Canon 550D’s and one Canon 7D to fulfill our multi-angle set up.
The film is kicking straight into Post Production with myself donning the Editor’s Hat once again.
