HERITAGE AND VIRTUAL TOURISM
Here at Optophonic we love nature, history and the outdoors as much as we love glitzy events. Here's a selection of some of our prettier videos.
WILD MAYO - MAYO COUNTY COUNCIL
We were asked to produce a video to go with the book of the same name. It was a 2 day shoot in November so we didn't expect to see too much wildlife, but on the first morning just after dawn we got lucky at Keem Bay on Achill Island where we witnessed a large pod of dolphins playing in the early morning sun.

Since the Arab Spring, Egypt and the Nile Valley are no longer considered safe by many archaeological students and tourists as a destination for educational digs. As a result many have started to come to Ireland to discover our ancient history instead. We were asked to make this film to help promote the field-schools at some of the ancient sites in County Meath to interested students.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE VIDEO - SHANE'S HOWTH HIKES
Shane's Howth Hikes operate a 4 hour trek around the Howth Peninsula. We followed them with our small DJI OSMO steady cam and captured some stunning footage. The finished video has been used on all of their Social Channels and is their main promotional tool.
