About
Holistic (as in: we do it all) Video Production
Glad Animal Movements was founded in 2020 by Conor Donelan after fifteen years working as a performer and presenter. We got our start at Draíocht Arts Centre in Blanchardstown, documenting projects for their children and youth arts programme — including Between Us There Is… (a remote duet danced during lockdown), Footloose and The Song Project.
From there we've branched into a wide variety of productions, from community to corporate: trusted by the Biodiversity and Heritage departments of Galway and Monaghan County Councils, covering events for IICP College, and serving as in-house crew with award-winning production design company Nineyards at the Reinvention Summit.
We're proud associates of McNulty Performance in their long-term partnership with Amazon Web Services — and we keep our roots in the arts, creating funding documents for theatre companies like Speckintime and visual artists such as Karen Ebbs.
Our grounding in theatre and performance gives us a unique lens to discern the true heart of the stories we tell — and the capacity to put our collaborators at their ease.
