IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

The answer is relatively straightforward: A film of any length will always be judged favourably if it Resonates with the Viewer. If the Audience laugh, cry, feel empathy or fear for the Characters which are onscreen they will feel a basic human connection with the film content. I do believe you're ...

That system, Chris, works on the 2.4GHz band - one of the two ranges that WiFi uses. Might not be a problem but there are several stories af where these have worked fine in reherasals (at performances or conferences) but when an audience or delegates arrive with all their mobile phones connecting to...

Okay, Okay. Make me feel stupid, why don't you?
To be honest it appears I could have saved £3 by booking direct so i'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

PS Congratulations to your friend Werner!

That sounds horrific, Willy and such a shame you missed the Games. And now you've got me worried about my own booking!

I always leave booking BIAFF late as I don't know about work/family commitments in advance. So this year, once I'd decided to go, I checked the hotel had rooms available then booked. John Gibbs emailed me back to say the IAC's allocation of rooms had been filled. No problem, I could still book the a...

I think the intention was to indicate the alarm that the appearance of the vehicle caused. I hadn't considered that. Now I have, I don't believe youre right. the opening shots are of people pulling a plough and it begins before they are aware of the car's existance. However, I'm prepared to accept ...

Some thoughts: 1. The Mercedes ad tells a story which is easy to follow with a satisfactory resolution. Which it would have done even better if it hadn't had the distraction of the shakey camerawork (which took me "out of the moment"). I doubt anyone could argue it would have lost anything without ...

As a cheaper alternative, lay on the floor and view sideways. Simple.

Substitute "sofa" for "floor" and that's how I watch most films on TV anyway, so perhaps I'd benefit from a 9x16 format

I think there is definitely a place for an "iPhone Competition" as the devices are so astonishingly good, easy to use and portable. I don't follow the reasoning. In that case why not have a "BMD Ursa" competition, a "DSLR" competition, a "Micro four-thirds" competition? Whilst it is very impressive...

I thought it was worth sharing this here, although I'm pretty certain I can predict the concensus of opinion. On another forum someone (who is a member of a UK club, and maybe even the IAC) posted this film for comment, under the heading "Tripod? Amazing new Mercedes promo" (Having shown it at his o...

Perhaps the portait mode makes sense for the news channels. Instead of putting rolling news, captions, titles, and logos along the top & bottom, they could put them in the spaces either side of the image. Actually that's screen-real estate they could sell as advertising space. Screens get bigger, bu...

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...
