IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Not a question, just a tale. As some may remember I was researching field monitors so I had something a bit bigger than the cameras' LCDs to work with. I wasn't worried about colour accuracy, I wanted this specifically for focus. After many months (maybe a year?) I settled on a Lilliput A7S - a 7" 1...

Thansk Ken, searching them out now ....

I'm looking for recommendations for third party replacement batteries for Sony NP-F series. Note these are NOT for use in cameras but in auxilliary equipment (lights, field monitor). Large capacity would be good as might need to power monitor for a 2 hour show. Also - mains (UK) powered chargers for...

(Off topic) The English think that all foreigners speak and understand English Rather ironically we have our American cousins to thank for the fact that most of the world does indeed understand English (even if it is the US version). OK, this may have its roots in colonialisation, but I'm sure if it...

Thanks Dave, I will.

Whilst I agree about the back cover (which you have raised several times, Cathy) I think this does more to affect the possibilities of sales of merchandise than affect the "sale" of the mgazine, which is only (so far as I'm aware) available by subscription and therefore guaranteed sales anyway. Fron...

I help out running a film club for secondary students at a small school and this term we're getting the students to script and make a number of micro-shorts. Next Friday we'd like to show the some example and I though - who better to recommend some one minute (or similarly short) films than my frien...

There seems to be no great shortage of people willing to work - and work hard - for a short time in any aspect of our hobby. What is becoming much harder to find are people prepared to work for the long haul, to hold committee offices, act as reporters and organisers. My apologies for taking this o...

Well, that was fun. I can see one heck of a lot of work went into making that 70's style trailer look so much like not very much work went into it.

All the best to you too for 2019 Ned.

Wishing you Dave & Jan and everyone else here the very best for 2019.

And Dave, please don't ever send another JibJab card!

Howard and Michael, thank you both for your comments. I was very surprised to learn the Birmingham was well attended by amateurs. My impression (as you will have gathered) was that these are attended by would-be pros as per Michael's experienece. Indeed my impression was partly formed from previous ...

With the exception of complaints about the advert on the back page, I've not been aware of any complaints and I suspect that I, unlike some others here, am a failry typical IAC member (indeed I'm probably slightly more pro active than some in that I attend several IAC/Regional events thoughout the y...

Thanks for the comprehensive report, Howard, and sorry you went away empty handed. It is encouraging to think there were so many entries, but would I be correct in assuming most of these are from people hoping to make a career in film? The lack of attendees at the screenings is, I suspect, not only ...

I'll cross my fingers for you
Do they show any of the award winning films on Saturday - it'll be interesting to read your views on them.

Fair enough, and wholly understandable and I hope you'll accept my response was equally understandable as your earlier post implied you'd left the film as it was tedious
