00:00I signed up and applied to get some one-to-one mentorship and I really went from there.
00:07My name is Damien Gallagher, director here at Speedmotion Films. Speedmotion Films is a video
00:15production company specialising in social media content for brands and businesses and we also
00:21work on TV show ads and documentaries as well. I studied graphic design and web design in
00:26University. I went on to do a Masters in Motley Disciplinary Design. From there I was kind
00:30of doing freelance work for businesses with graphics and web design. While the University
00:35applied basketball for University of Ulster-Jordanstown in Irish Super League and all our games were
00:40recorded and so after the games I would edit them down into highlights and upload them to
00:44YouTube and that's where the passion for video really came from. I first came across GoSucceed
00:50from an ad on social media. The one-to-one mentoring really helped with the support of the business
00:54and from GoSucceed. Halfway through the mentorship I was able to then qualify for the GoSucceed grant
01:00which was great because at that time we had just moved into the new studio. So the grant allowed
01:04us to get new lighting equipment, black outlines for the studio and upgrading our drone equipment
01:10and this really helped to kind of push us forward a lot quicker than we had planned and actually start
01:14having film production, video productions here in the studio. As a small business and there's so many
01:19things you have to think about so to have that support from GoSucceed was really great. So the hope for my
01:24business over the next couple years is to continue developing our in-house productions here through
01:29photography, video and podcast setups for our clients and but then also in the future maybe over
01:35the next year or two I would like to kind of host some workshops and master classes for the industry
01:40here in the studio. I would really recommend GoSucceed. The one-to-one mentorship I've received has been
01:45amazing for the business and going forward I'm really looking forward to seeing how that can develop further.
01:54you
