iProVid is working on a new website for local Galway alternative health practitioner Denise Delaney who runs a clinic in the city. Denise offers acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, massage, lymphatic drainage and Chinese herbal medicine. The site brief was to be fresh, clean and modern with a responsive design that would work on laptops, tablets and smartphones. There was a lot of technical information that needed to be available to visitors to the site without overloading the reader. We approached that through the use of an FAQ section as well as a comprehensive list of ailments and conditions that her therapy is aimed at.

Using a new framework for the site iProVid has put together a new look with an expandable format. One of the most exciting things is that the client, Denise, can now post her own articles and projects direct to her site without the need to go via us as web designers. With a bit of tuition showing her the online tools Denise will be able to author her own content very soon.

We also set her up with a new Twitter account which you can follow here : www.twitter.com/delaneytherapy

Before Christmas 2015 a pop-up Christmas shop appeared upstairs at Texaco in Spiddal County Galway. This was run by Emma Allen who put together a collection of gift, decorations, art work and jewellery for the Christmas market. She made the place look very inviting with lots of Christmas decorations.

For the video promotion first of all I did some outside shots on a very cold wintry day then moving towards the front entrance and the stairs finally arriving in the shop itself. This was later edited to compress time showing the location and the way upstairs to where she was. I then started to film the items for sale using panning, monopod and sliding techniques. At one stage I tried to do a jib shot without actually having a jib with me. This was done using a monopod on extremely long extension lifting up as if it was the jib. It worked quite well. Emma herself was suffering with a bad cold but she managed to do a couple of lines saying welcome to the shop. I found a few items with suitable shapes to cross fade through and that was it.

For the edit it was, as ever, all about the script which was a brief sales pitch for the shop. Emma’s bits were put in at the appropriate places and with a few titles and some original music with sleigh bells it was completed and delivered.
