IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Thanks Granfer,

I had checked last night and seen this, how unfortunate! I think there are places, which will attempt processing but there is only a 75% chance of success and, as you say, it's only in black and white.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response and sorry for the confusion! 1982/3/4 is when the first 'video-only' competitions appear to start. They are initially seperate to the IAC and Ten Best film competitions, with entries being made on early portapak systems like U-Matic or Beta.

Thanks Dave, much appreciated!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to write a little piece on the UK's first amateur video competitions and have been able to watch the Movie Maker 1982/3 Video Competition and the IAC 1984 Video Winners. Can anyone remember the competitions or entries? This is some really interesting early video material. The...

Hi everyone,

I recently filmed some Double 8mm Kodakrome II, on an Eumig C3, and I'm wondering if there are any places that will develop (and possibly digitise) the film?

Thanks in advance!

Hi All, This has been a fantastic and very interesting thread to read. Thanks to all the contributors. Reading the journals, the issue of 'new' and 'young' members, appears to go right back to the 60s/70s with articles in Movie Maker discussing the topic on a semi-regular basis.

Thanks for the replies

Did you read the magazine Brian? I'm curious as to whether there was there still a dedicated 'cine club' space, or iac affiliated 'newspage' in Camcorder User?

Cheers!

Hi All, Doing a little research into amateur journals and hoping some of the other IAC members can help me out! I'm trying to figure out what happened after Videomaker ? I've been able to trace the changes upto this point but finding it difficult to track any information after this? Did any of the V...

After reading through a lot of the 80s and 90s editions of Movie Maker and Making Better Movies , I notice in John Wright's 'Club Commentary' that Mike Whyman, a JVC representative, is mentioned frequently. He visits quite a few cine-clubs throughout the country, introducing and discussing video equ...

Thanks Brian, Tom and Pqtrick! Very interesting stuff! I recently acquired a working Eumig C3 and I'm finding the difference between camcorders, which I'm used to, and cine just incredible. Being 27 I can't really imagine what it must have been like for the enthusiast and clubs with this upheaval so...

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!

If you don't mind me asking, do you think it had a negtive impact on the cine-clubs?

Graeme.

Hi All, I'm conducting a research project on UK Cine Clubs in the 80s/90s and the diffusion of video technology into the 'club-scene'/'cine-movement'. I'm looking for any anecdotal stories members might have from the time and opinions regarding the early film/video 'war'! If any other details are re...
