Good suggestion from Michael ... A firm may not be able to let you have a permanent room of your own but it MIGHT let you have a room when needed and the use of a locked cupboard for equipment. Dave Many thanks for your support and suggestions, dear friends. Normally we must leave our clubhouse by ...

I know how sad you feel Willy as my own club had to fold this year but that was because we didn't have enough people to keep it going. Casablanca is Moroccon town Billy Boy ! You're joking ! Casablanca is one of the major towns in Morocco, but of course it is also the best editing machine in the wo...

Can you find another room for less rent? 2280 Euros is roughly about £43 per week I think- which is steep. Useful suggestions Thanks for your very kind words and excellent suggestions, my friends. It is not 2,280 euros, but 2,880 euros, Billy ! We have about 60 members at the moment, but about 25 o...

I am very sad

I am sad. I am very sad. I have been president of my filmclub for 20 years. In 2010 my club will be 50 and then it's called a "royal club". However, I fear that I will have to dissolve my club. Clubhouse free About 20 years ago our mayor told us that we could use our clubhouse without pay...

This is quite an interesting question Dave. Bob and G For the "Guernsey, I Love You !" film Mary and Peter Rouillard found three girls. We needed two. We had a meeting in the bar of a restaurant and had a chat with them. Immediately you could see that one of them - the prettiest - was ver...

I explain that if you as an individual are having a good time it will show in your character and your performance will be all the more better. The camera will capture the energy you bring on set. I also explain to them that there will never be a sequel or a re-shoot... :wink: -House Hello House and...

Maybe you could ask our webmaster Jan Watterson to publish that picture on our website. I don't know if that is possible. We need more photographs of young people in our magazines and on our website.

Willy, you will get to see "Life's Little Gaps" as the AMPS 2007 winners DVDs are circulating to members in Europe. If you look at your Jan/Feb AMPS newsletter there is a short article by House about the making of the film and his picture in the March/April issue along with other members ...

Re: Thanks

Thanks for the kind words, Stephen. Hey there, Dave. I appreciate the welcome. Right now I'm working on an animation project I wrote back in school. Now, whereas Life's Little Gaps was a family film, The Zoo certainly is not. -House "House" is not your real name I suppose. This message to...

Willy, another thought. What is it you object to about film school students having entries in n-c Festivals? Their level of experience, in both film making and life, will be well below yours. Their equipment will, in many cases, be identical to that of many n-c film makers. Their only advantage wil...

Re: The Cost of Film Making

So what does it cost to make a film? Some people will swear it costs almost nothing. Go on holiday, shoot footage, edit it and add music. Film. Others will speak of travel expenses, catering, prop and costume hire, crane hire, generator hire and so on. .[/i] Dave A difficult question, Dave. In my c...

Just a small point: [i. It has puzzled me why IAC set its face against film student entries. In theory if Spielberg made a film for fun and not for profit he could enter it in our competition, but a first term film school student could not! But Willy's main point remains valid. In countries where s...

I was not in Harrogate. Unfortunately ! Many friends told me that "Life's Little Gaps", the American film, was the best one. Maybe they are right. However, I've been told that it was made by a filmschool ! One creature makes films for money. He sells them. Awards at international festivals...
