‘Making your Mark’ and ‘Out of the Hat’
This was our first meeting of 2012 and was well attended. Thanks to excellent presentation by John Sawyer; this practical evening was most enjoyable creating some lively discussions about scoring. Many thanks John. Notes on this evening will be distributed to all members.
Also at this meeting. Members were invited to pull a subject ‘Out of the Hat’ and make a 10 – 15 minutes film to be shown and judged on 17th September.
As this is the first Newsletter of 2012 I would like to wish you all a belated Happy New Year.
Many things have changed since 1962, particularly in the realms of technology and communication.
Who would have thought back then that my ramblings could be viewed by a worldwide
audience of millions or that film making would become an all-
And yet, in many respects the essential crafts of film making remain unchanged -
To celebrate our 50 years a number of events are planned :
- A Celebration Dinner
- A film competition for invited clubs
- A film to record events of 2012 -
a busy year with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games
This is special year for us as we celebrate the club’s 50 year existence.
