The newly formed camera & transport company Movecrew, based in Dundalk, completes first European booking
It's been just over a year since Conor Lally set up his Television & Film crew transport company, Movecrew and he has been busy.
"It hasn't been the easiest of times to set up a new service based company within a sector which is constantly facing budget cuts to independently produced television shows". Despite this, Movecrew have proved to their clients that not only is it worthwhile using Movecrew’s services, it is also cost effective and in most cases budget friendly.
Conor says there is "a very good reason for producers & production managers to consider using the service - it simply saves on both time and money".
If you haven't heard of Movecrew before, they provide crew and kit transport to television crews, visiting crews from abroad, and film crews. Conor’s onset experience in both the production and camera department, proves an asset to his clients, while also negating the need to bring several cars/vehicles along to your shoot.
Conor is just back from his biggest booking to date in the Netherlands. Movecrew transported kit for Media Coop, a Dublin based production company who specialise in covering corporate events. Media Coop hired Movecrew to transport all of their grip, lighting, streaming, camera and rigging equipment to Amsterdam by road.
Colin Norris, Media Coop spoke on the service, saying "It was really a no brainer for media coop to hire Movcrew for our job in Amsterdam not only did we get a reliable secure and cost effective way of transporting our streaming and camera equipment across Europe, we also got crew transport while there and a highly skilled & hard working camera assistant for the shoot."
The Production itself was a rebrand event for global electrical company, Philips. Media Coop provided the 6 camera live stream on Youtube and edited and delivered two corporate videos on site.
"When Colin asked me if we could provide the transport for them I was delighted, its great to see Irish productions trying to keep the business within the country" said Conor.
Conor has also just recently wrapped on the ever popular Mario Rosenstock show which airs a Christmas special on RTE. Movecrew not only provided Data wrangling & camera assisting but also provided the production with a transport solution for their lighting orders and prop deliveries. Previous to this, Movecrew have been busy on Irish Productions, such as Room to Improve, The Secret Millionaire, Irelands Fittest Family & Independent Pictures’ Taxi.
