The Sleeper

​

Synopsis

Set in ancient Ireland, 'The Sleeper' is the story of a roaming Celt, whose chances of finding a special lady are hampered by his travelling partner...his religious mother.

Background
The Sleeper was filmed over 4 days in Kells, County Meath in Ireland. We converted a sound studio to a greenscreen set and shot the whole film there. That was back in the summer of 2015 and it took 3 years of post production fit in between my day job to complete the backgrounds as the whole film was greenscreen.

The CGI sets were comprised of photos I took of the cliffs in Loughshinny, near Skerries and the Glendalough mines. I also set up a small pink screen studio in my attic to photograph branches covered in thread which I used to create the dead trees.
