📽️ With a brand as big as ASA and a story that is bigger still how do you condense those details into a short video? 👀 Find out soon as the the final polish is being undertaken! 📽️ 🎬

STORYTELLING IN FILM: The Art of Distilling the Big Picture 🖼️

In video and film production, one of the greatest challenges — and greatest skills — is the ability to take a big, often complex story and shape it into a short, compelling narrative.

This isn’t just about trimming down content. It’s about understanding the structure of storytelling — knowing how to identify the pivotal moments, build emotional arcs, and focus on what truly matters.

Recently, we had the privilege of telling the story of ASA Brands a family business that’s 40 years old — but 143 years in the making.

Generations of hard work, sacrifice, and evolution — condensed into a few short minutes of film. That’s where the craft comes in.

When you only have 2, 5, or 10 minutes, every frame has to earn its place. That means:

🔍 Focusing in on turning points and legacy moments
🔥 Letting go of the unnecessary, while keeping the soul
🧡 And always — always — holding onto the heart of the story

Because no matter the length, the medium, or the message — people connect with people. Storytelling isn’t just about what happened. It’s about why it mattered, and who it mattered to.

This is where craft meets creativity. And where editing becomes storytelling. And were Made to Measure Films Ireland Ltd excell.

"The show must go on" 🎉 ....and it certainly did on Thursday night at Cork Opera House with Laura Noonan, Victoria Curtis, Delia Webster, Daniel Cremin and Killian Collins. 🎭 🎶

We were treated to fabulous food from the Good Day Deli and a 'potted' presentation on the history of 170 years of Cork Opera House, a backstage tour and a moment to stand on the stage! Of course I loved it - as an actress and director it is always a thrill! 😁

We also gained a glimpse into how a power house of entertainment is run - no mean feat! 💥

So many of the phrases we use come from the theatre, like 'wing it', 'In the lime light', and 'waiting in the wings'. To quote Julie Andrews “The arts make a bridge across this world in ways that nothing else can.” 💫 🕊️

Thank you Fitzgibbon aka The Culinary Celt and all the fabulous Network Cork committee for organising this special event. 👏

Lovely to meet up with so many of our members and new members of course. Fiona Kennedy, Susan Collins Duggan, Susana Marambio, Dee Corcoran, Diane Higgins MIDI, Laura Howard, Gillian Hennessy, Marilyn Reidy, Deirdre O Grady - AbilityWise, Lucy O'Donoghue, Maria Desmond, Sue Nelson

💥 📽️ What an unbelievable experience to be filming in Venice during the Carnivale. 👁️ It is the most captivating, surreal and exquisite festival, embracing people from all over our beautiful planet 🌎 to take part in the spectacle 🎭 . These are just some of the photos I shot while there and I will of course share more. 📸
Looking back over the last 6 months of our 10 YEARS IN BUSINESS - I am reflecting on the magic of the locations we have been so very fortunate to visit.
We pride ourselves in being a 'people' first Video Production Agency 🎥 . Our passion is to reflect the best in everyone, to work diligently through the pre production, from script creation and style of the piece, before even embarking on the shoot.
If you have enjoyed working with us at some point over the last 10 years!!! Please leave a comment below 🙌 Thank you 💖
