Recommended movies on the web - UPDATED
In various threads we recommend movies we have seen on various websites. I suggest we keep this thread exclusively for such recommendations. If you like the idea then please add links to movies you think we would enjoy - your own or other people's films. But let us keep comment on them to a differen...

And now my projection days for the IAC are over. Billy, I hope not. Your mini-cinema shows went very smoothly as I mentioned earlier. You did all the film-makers proud by presenting their films to the best advantage in the two sessions of yours I saw. Indeed I heard nothing but praise for all the N...

I think it only affects DVD's. Mini DV's will always be projected non-letterbox. I don't think so! Either source - DVD or MiniDV can hold a letterboxed, anamorphic or Academy ratio print. As I suggested in another thread different pieces of equipment treat them differently. Some adjust to make the ...

I use Premiere Pro but have sometimes noticed a similar problem. Usually I use the menu option to export the film to another place on the hard drive. This makes sure it is all rendered etc. Then I load the exported version into a new project, set the camera to record and play the new project so that...

I have seen `Amateur` nature films, and they aren`t really very good. Sorry, Ian, but you clearly have not seen these films. Florent van Opstal makes superb close-up studies of birds and insects. Mark Kapteijns made equally good images. Some amateurs can make great movies of this sort. Take a look ...

I for one will say a Big Thank you to all the organisers... Wow - Stephen - you are right! Everyone who was there does owe a huge vote of thanks to the event organisers of NERIAC and the competition managers - Brian and Alice Dunckley for all their hard work. I wanted to comment on the problems but...

Well I can confirm what Billy said ... the Friday night one-minute movie show was plagued with problems of the hiccuping video kind. There are many ways to show videos direct from computer and maybe more experiment was required. There was also some silly confusion when the numbers on the films Billy...

Recycle your old camera
This article refers to digital still cameras, but it might be applied to camcorders too. http://blog.webshots.com/?p=874 If you do give away an old still camera, AV workers and movie-makers could even work with the child to put some of their better images into a sequence or simple movie. We treasure...

Has the IAC ever thought of having professional film-makers to judge? Yes - and it is often a disaster. Within the industry people point out any mistakes bluntly - after all everyone there is supposed to be a professional at their job and any delays can be very expensive. Professional judges tend t...

For IAC judging the synopsis is kept by the Competition Manager but judging teams may ask for it if they wish. The Cotswold Final Judging works in a similar way - synopses are read on request. It can sometimes be useful with films in a foreign language where judges may get the gist of it through ima...

Just a word of warning about all this ... It is quite likely that some people who are not happy with their result will not be willing to say so in public. It sounds like being a poor sport. This means we cannot assume that the poll or the comments here represent every view. I am sure our competition...
