APRIL? Oh dear...

Shockingly, 3 days ago, it was officially 6 months since we last posted. There's not much to say about this, other than a big "whoops". Reaming on for a few pages with apologies would be a great waste of what has now become valuable blogging space. And very boring to read. So for any of you who took the effort to tune in all those eons ago, then never heard another word...whoops! Life sometimes gets in the way of art, a sad fact that we've begun to battle now. But it won't happen again.

Anyway, onwards and upwards. In most recent news, after collecting a few very interesting narrations, mostly from those wonderful, imaginative, spectacular humans we call children, we've decided to come back to Dream Seek Once. If this makes no sense at all to you, check out http://www.cautioustrain.com/Current%20Projects/page6/index.html. Our aim is to make a series of noncommercial and not-for-profit shorts, solely for the purpose of storytelling and talent showcasing on our website and other social media sites. So we need some talent. Right now we are looking for an animator. It promises to be a fun, and hopefully uncomplicated, endeavour. All levels and experiences welcome for consideration. If you are or you know, get in touch at info@cautioustrain.com. 

In other, no less exciting news: we are launching the Promotional Video leg of Cautious Train. And we have our first project. We are delighted to announce a collaboration  with the good people of www.enniskerry.ie to create a promotional website video to showcase the beauties and amenities in and around the lovely village of Enniskerry, Wicklow. Website videos are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to print and television advertising, which traditionally sky rocket any marketing budget. We are aiming to work collaboratively with small businesses, in any sector, who wish to promote their company in a more cost effective manner. We aim to deliver high quality, professional video at a very competitive cost. A web video has the potential to reach a  huge international audience, in conjunction with social media like Youtube. It is very effective at reaching surfers who may not have the time, or interest, in reading on line blurb. So, with a deep breath, we say...get in touch. We'd be happy to talk to any business who think they might benefit from something like this. Promotional show reel to follow. 

We'll wrap it up there for now. No sense in losing your attention just when we're trying to win it back.

Best as always (oh, and Happy First Day of Nutty Christmas Mayhem)
