IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Hi Dave, Mystery solved. Thanks. Roy Hi Roy, I think it is excellent that British time is not continental time. I always go to Britain on my birthday. Thanks to British time I could stay a fiftier one hour longer ! I enjoyed every minute of that hour very much. Oh, dear, that was already more than ...

Talking of editing I've just shot my first video footage for over 2 and a half years!! It's only 4 minutes long, and its so well shot it hardly needs editing!! BUT, it's 100% boring - just a silly trip to Cambridge - a rather boring place anyway! But one day I might shoot some marginally more inter...

I made a film in 2004 called "Seven Shades" which is a silent comedy in monochrome 4:3 done in the style of early romantic comedies. We even used the railway track- classic stuff! :D I would be grateful, Thurso man, if you send me a copy of that film. I will pay for it or I will send some...

Many thanks for these suggestions. Now I've thought of organizing a national festival. The embryo of an idea. We may ask the members of our Belgian clubs to make short funny films or comedies without any dialogues. Maybe these films are useful for international festivals like BIAFF, Guernsey, the Co...

The Party Some weeks ago we had a film show in our village hall. It was packed tight. My documentary "Breendonk" was shown. "Excellent film" most people said, but they seemed to be more impressed by a film that won many awards for "best humour". It made me think of Tun...

Sorry for some spelling mistakes in my previous message. I should have checked the text before sending it.

[quote="Brian Saberton"]It isn't just for taking pictures of children or women that photographers have been picked on. I heard about a new, young member of a camera club in Glasgow who was quizzed by a policeman because he was taking photographs of the statues in George Square, right in th...

Thanks Dave & Willy, any other wiiners who read the forum will be very welcome to send a short disc of comments. Most welcome. I am staying in Lavenham, we rent a cottage on the square opposite the Guildhall. E Anglia is where we lived for 16 years (our longest in one place) and remains my spir...

Willy - maybe you could film yourself giving a greeting to the Americans and thanking them for the award. If you send that to Ned's American address on a DVD they might play it at the convention. Yes, Dave, that's a good idea. I will do this. Now I'm in a hurry because I will have to do other thing...

[quote="ned c"]I am answering from East Anglia so am under an English sky. East Anglia is beautiful, Ned. About 17 years ago I made a film about that area. The title of my film is "Old World Charm". I still did the camera work with my 8mm canon camera. The contents of that film :...

[quote="stingman Why did you join the IAC? I joined the IAC about 11 years ago. Maybe because I love Britain. I prefer the British atmosphere rather than the Belgian one at festivals. I am sure that all my friends who have already attended BIAFF and other festivals on the Albion and in Guernsey...

Yes, we are a VERY strange lot!! Sorry to introduce politics Willy!! I expected I will be ticked off now by a certain person from north of the border ... (or maybe just north ...) _____________________________________________________ Sorry, friends. I shouldn't have done this. I will continue this ...

I was having a look at the web-site for the BBC Film Festival which is being held in Glasgow on 9th Sept. and was intrigued by the picture of the presenter as it looks to me as if he is posing with a Super 8 camera. It looks like it could be a Canon but I might be wrong - what do you all think? htt...

[quote="Brian Saberton"] When I say that he would go into the Cairngorms in the winter months, in the snow (we've seen shots of him digging snow holes) you will understand that these films were different! ... _____________________________________________________ Reindeer The Cairngorms ! O...

[quote="Brian Saberton"]I know that some people favour them but as someone who does a bit of judging I dislike scoring systems for different aspects of a movie and never use them as I think it makes the process too clinical. What weighting would you give to each element? Should technical a...
