IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

This has been a long and detailed discussion and the recent publication of Jameela’s article in the October FVM might encourage more members to contribute to the forum. My own observation is why are we using so much of our membership fees on the printed version of the FVM, when a digital version pub...

The Edinburgh Cine & Video Society Clubrooms, including our 54 seat cinema, has been closed since March and it will be a long time before club meetings and events can take place. This is also due to the older age profile of our members and many have said they will not return until several issues...

Further to my previous email regarding the use of Zoom for conducting club meetings I would like to hold a Zoom meeting with any interested parties from other clubs to discuss this topic and get some event/film ideas. Please contact me if you would like to take part in this discussion. Stewart Emm ...

The Edinburgh Cine & Video Society are currently looking for ideas for next seasons programme that may or may not start in October. We have our own premises with a 54 seat cinema and internet access. Tom Harwick last post may assist in filling some Thursday evenings by using Zoom to link up gues...

Does anyone have a contact to obtain the joining paste for splicing Standard 8 and Super 8 Cine film?

While taking a video in a coal mine I used aTriopo LED panel light, due to size and being battery operated, and the resulting footage when played back had a distinct green hue. The LED light is dimmable and can be adjusted between 3200K and 5600K using alternative rows of LED to create the colour t...

I am planning a production that requires the use of a matched pair of 17 th Century duelling pistols. Has anyone else carried out a duelling scene using replica firearms in a public space such as a park. Are there any local authority, public and police notification/approvals needed prior to shooting...

I was at the Photography Show on the Monday and was very impressed by the wide range of exhibition stands and workshops offered. As Brian has already given a flavour of the video content of the show I will try and cover some of the other aspects of it. At one of the Filmmaking workshops the benefits...

John Roberts input is very welcome and I wish him the best in his endevours. Some input from myself is offered: 1. Taking the FMV issue first the current membership of the IAC, from the representative sample attending the AGM, is skewed to the over 65 age group, and as such will in the main prefer t...

[They managed to attract entries from budding professionals which we aren't getting today, more's the pity, because I honestly don't think that the standard has risen since those days, possibly it has even regressed] Thus is the rub! There are many young filmmakers across the UK who make films, that...

Most Universities have their own filmmaking section and this can be a very productive element or become just another social film viewing group. I don't know if the IAC has any links to these filmmaking groups, one of the problems is that due to the nature of their membership, continuity and ongoing ...

Hi Brian did you get your copy of the Digital Filmmaker magazine? It positions itself as "Your new guide to Independent Filmmaking" Reading through the latest edition, Issue No19, it is a magazine for professional filmmmakers, using DSLR's and other expensive high end film making equipment...

I have to produce images from my pc for a show over some distance. I believe one solution is to use HDMI line extenders using CAT5 cable to link up the HDMI output of my computer to the corresponding on the remote projector. Has any one tried this out before and does it work, if it does, is there an...

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for something similar to CatDV that can capture, analyse and store HDV, AVCHD and SD formats. I think that CatDV is limited in the range of video formats it can capture and handle. Plex looks a very comprehensive media management system, and for club members interfac...
