For quite some time I have been wondering who on earth has makes the videos of the pro life rallies/vigils in Ireland, for the Youth Defence/Pro Life Campaign/Rally for Life etc. As someone who is involved in the creative field in Ireland, it surprised me that I didn't know the individual's/production company that made these videos. These videos have thousands of views on youtube and it would be so bizarre for the people involved in making them not wanting their names being attached to this, right?
At first I thought (and for quite some time), I just thought that members of these groups were very talented and very well equipped to make these videos.
Until I saw this on youtube in the info panel of the The Life Insitute video of the The Unite for Life Vigil which took place on 19th January 2013.
Which states that the video is "All video is copyright NL Productions and Life Institute". This triggered my attention and made me want to look into it a bit more.
Now when I googled this "NL Productions" various UK production companies came up, particularly this Scottish one but they seemed to specialize more so into, their own words "Truly funky events by NL Productions - experts in sound, lighting, AV and staging." And they had organised the Olympic and Paralympic torch relays in Edinburgh, and were involved in UNESCO Edinburgh City of Literature enLIGHTen project. And to be honest I felt that "NL Productions" in Scotland were a bit too big and experienced to be involved with the "The Unite for Life Vigil". As well as being completely apolitical.

Now on the Nine Line Productions site theres no mention of the video on the website, just of NL Productions other work. Which is of music videos, weddings and ads for companies, which are all in, you guessed it Chattanooga!

So I decided to check Vimeo to see if there were any of the videos that were on Youtube also uploaded up there. I searched "pro life Ireland" and found this.
Wahey, I was in luck the exact same video was of The Unite for Life Vigil was the 5th result! Except it was entitled ProLife Prayer Vigil - Dublin, Ireland, which to me seemed a bit international and vague. Which it was on further inspection.
The person who allegedly uploaded it, is named Sean M. O'Halloran. And he is allegedly the President of Nine Line Productions which is based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States Of America. Yes you heard me Chattanooga, of Tennessee. Now sure Dublin is no London or New York, but for fucks sake its no Chattanooga. Sean states his ambitions are to travel the world and film what he sees.
I have travelled quite a bit in America and have never heard of Chattanooga, I must not be hipster enough to have heard of such a creative hub like Chattanooga! I'm not even sure I am pronouncing it right, thats how down low Chattanooga is. And Chattanooga is also the 4th largest city in Tennessee. Wow it sounds so riveting and cosmopolitan!
This Mr Sean M. O'Halloran also allegedly uploaded this video entitled "ProLife Vigil Spot", again a fairly vague title. But Youth Defence also uploaded the exact same video on their youtube entitled "Getting ready for the Vigil for Life"

While their groundbreaking videos which they allegedly helped make with Youth Defence/The Life Insitute unfortunately don't feature on their site. They do include a clip of Mickey Harte on their Nine Line Production reel, which was uploaded by a man called Max Mospanyuk. He is also based in the cosmopolitan headquarters of Chattanooga.
Max Mospanyuk seems to be a bit more active on Vimeo compared to Sean. And his Vimeo seems to be filled with Nine Line Productions beautiful wedding videos and he seems to like a lot of skating videos. He is also allegedly the Director of Creative Development at Nine Line Productions.
With the amount of media attention Youth Defence/The Life Insitute get (as well as youtube hits/facebook likes from all over the world), why wouldn't they have these videos featured on their site? Or even have the production company's name on Youth Defence/Life Institute youtube uploads?
On Nine Line Productions official twitter they even have photos of the Unite for Life back in January. Making the claim that their "work saves lives", which is a highly objectionable claim to make.
Considering that the Unite for Life was at the time, according to Live Action News the largest pro life rally ever in Ireland. Why wouldn't Nine Line Productions want their work to be associated with this? This kind of attention could really put Sean M. O'Halloran, Max Mospanyuk and Matt Murr on a global scale with Nine Line Productions..
Sure wouldn't that be what they would want with Nine Line Productions? And all the hard work it much have taken to have filmed and edited these videos, why wouldn't you want your name attached to it?
Now with the recent Rally for Life which took place on July 6th, 2013. Two videos have been uploaded of the march on the The Rally for Life youtube. The first video which is entitled "60,000 march in Ireland's biggest ever pro-life Rally against abortion" which uses the same floating happy text style and font as The Life Institute's video of the Unite For Life Vigil back in January. Which leads me to believe that maybe Nine Line Productions also made the "60,000 march in Ireland's biggest ever pro-life Rally against abortion" video. It also features the song "Wake me up" by Avicii. Which I'll get back to in a minute.
Now the second video The Rally for Life has uploaded of The Rally for Life is titled "Ireland's biggest ever pro-life Rally against abortion". Again objectionable because of all the alleged numbers game that was going on between the pro lifers, the media, the gardai and lets not forget all the Americans that were supposedly there, like the Nine Line Production boyos.
In this video it also has the happy floating text thing going on and features a track by an American band called Oaklynn based in Nashville, Tennessee. A track by Oaklynn also features in the The Life Institute's video of the The Unite for Life Vigil, back in January.
Now Oaklynn have just over 2000 likes on facebook and 7000 followers on their twitter. And no offence to them, they seem like a band who have quite a lot of time before they're considered the next big thing. And the majority of their fans seem to reside very near Nashville. But I wish them the best (and their music is quite catchy). In all seriousness I don't think anyone in Ireland would have heard of Oaklynn before this video, but we have all thanks to Nine Line Production!
Now back to Avicii. Avicii's song "Wake Me Up" is arguably the hit of the summer, probably cause its been played to death and has been resurrected about 50 times. Wake Me Up featured in The Rally For Life "60,000 march in Ireland's biggest ever pro-life Rally against abortion" video and it also features here.
With the amount of media attention Youth Defence/The Life Insitute get (as well as youtube hits/facebook likes from all over the world), why wouldn't they have these videos featured on their site? Or even have the production company's name on Youth Defence/Life Institute youtube uploads?

This video is of Nine Lines Productions travels to India, Ireland, Scotland, Mozambique, and South Africa for the month of June and part of July. It shows the three Nine Line Production boyo's wearing snapbacks in India, clips of some urban graffiti in Dublin, a stereotypical British telephone box, most likely unauthorized footage of kids in Mozambique and South Africa, as well as a man that looks quite like a Dr. Eoghan De Faoite, allegedly....
Could it be just a coincidence that both of these videos use the Avicii song "Wake Me Up"?
Now I am going to leave you with this, a screenshot from the facebook of Nine Line Production. It seems the boyos are "shooting reenactment scenes" near Dublin.....
To quote the highest rated comment on the The Life Insitute video of the The Unite for Life Vigil, the video which got me started investigating this all.
Nine Line Production boyos please quit meddling in issues you have no idea about. Please stay concerned about your own countries state of affairs.
