Joey Burns  Irish Wood Sculpture promo video 2010
Dún a Rí Forest Park, Kingscourt , County Cavan In 2012 I was commissioned by Cavan County Council to design and carve 15 large wood sculptures for the park . I decided that my audience were the bus loads of visiting school children I encountered on a site visit to the park.  All the sculptures were carved with a chainsaw and power tools, and were based on wildlife found in the park. This is a video titled “ The making of a frog” says it all really.

Travis Oaks “Last Love Song “ music video 2014
Our eldest son Aran plays bass guitar with Irish rock band Travis Oaks , he recently asked me to make some pieces for their music video “Last Love Song”. I met up with the director on a site visit and had 8 days to make 9 Tree Spirits. The video was shot at night time so I carved the pieces in spruce a bright coloured  wood. I left them without a finish for the video as I did not want them to reflect or glare under lights. Although you can only see them in short sequences they help set the mood of the video...

All the artists involved gave their all and the resulting sculptures / installations enhanced the experience of the thousands of visitors to the fleadh .
