Arklow animator at Berlin campus

Wednesday February 24 2010

A TALENTED young animator from Arklow is enjoying a career enhancing stint in Berlin at present after he was chosen from 4,000 applicants to attend the Berlinale Talent Campus and Berlin Film Festival.

Eamonn O'Neill (21) from Cherryfield graduated from IADT Dun Laoghaire at the end of last year and recently set off for Berlin where he is currently attending workshops, lectures and talks given by professionals in his industry by day and mingling with the other students and stars by night.

The Irish Film Board asked Eamonn to write a daily blog about his experiences in Berlin and he has been updating this on the Irish Film Board website (www.irishfilmboard.ie) as he goes along.

Having already built up a good reputation within the animation industry with award winning films 'My Day' and 'On the Quiet' Eamonn is working at The Barley Film Studious in Dun Laoghaire as an Animator/Director.
