IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

My copy of F&VM has just arrived so I can catch up on this discussion. OK the cover picture is a tad soft but remember the comments in the past about inappropriate cover pictures (cars/flowers), this does look like part of a film making activity. I suspect there is a shortage of pictures for the edi...

Herein lies a problem with paper magazines. On-line versions have the opportunity to resize the pictures for viewing and in most cases for saving. There are also workable links to videos and other on-line sources; I believe an essential part of learning is being able to view other people's work. The...

Thanks for the links Tom; as I had used my Canon camera as the deck for transfers I was unaware of the problem now solved by my friend who kept his Canon XH A1 and came to my rescue. I wonder how long the friendship will last as I have another 20 tapes to transfer!!

How about "freedom film maker"?

In the past I used a Canon XH A1 HDV camera with excellent results and have many tapes produced by that camera. The camera was long ago traded in and now I have those A1 tapes stored until a recent request to make .mp4 and BluRay discs from some of them. I have a Sony DSR1800 DV/HDV deck; however th...

Hi Peter; If you have not all ready checked visit YouTube type in Pinnacle 23 and a number of tutorials will appear. YouTube is the first place I go to when I have a question about anything!

On October 8th in a local Megaplex 28 films under 5 minutes were screened in the annual Horrorfest. You can view them at the link above. I think that local challenges like this can produce remarkable results.

In another thread I suggested the use of screeners for supporting BIAFF and i feel the suggestion needs explaining. Our local festival DOCUTAH usually has about 300 entries and these are viewed by teams who write reports on the films with recommendations for their screening as there are usually abou...

The magazine is an internal publication distributed to the iAC members; it in no way expands or promotes the Institute outside its limited readership. To reach the wider world of film makers there needs to be something visible to them; as the BIAFF can be accessed through FilmFreeway and through its...

Time for some radical thinking: 1.Maintain the structure of the IAC as it is with club members in the regions and individual members. 2.Move the magazine to an on-line magazine with a member’s access password. 3.Appoint a paid Director of Festivals using the previous funds for paying the editor of t...

After my rather generalized response to Jameela's article here are some specific thoughts about each of the points she addresses: Ground rules; in an age of increasing rudeness a requirement for for mutual respect is not out of place. On one of our local film making Facebook pages the opening statem...

Discussing the rules of the IAC overlooks two basic questions that must be answered before these details are addressed: 1. What is the role of the IAC in the present day world of film making where the divide between professional and amateur has virtually disappeared and now we are all “film makers”....

My Sony AX700 records clips with an identification starting with C and then in numerical sequence. I can find no way of changing the letter C to an alternative so all my clips regardless of the project share the same clip idents. Although kept in separate files on the hard drives when making a searc...

Consideration should be given to on-line judging now that there is good streaming and with Film Freeway it is possible to both view entries and download them from the site. An example is our local festival DOCUTAH which has fifty screening teams drawn from the local population. We view the entries o...

A possible solution, although not a radio system, is to have the talent have a Zoom H1n or similar recorder in a pocket with a Lavalier mic, this can be multiplied by as many recorders/mics you have. This overcomes any problems of interference although it does mean synching in post production. A sla...
