IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

I too would be bitterly disappointed if BIAFF went south. It's our flagship event and every effort must be made to get bums onto seats for next year's event. And yes, posters, in and around Brum would be help. Happy to design them myself.

Without BIAFF I think we are nought.

Thanks Dave, I've passed that on.

Hi folks

A friend is asking if I can recommend a good scanner to convert slides to (presume) jpegs? I can't, but I know a society of people who probably can.

Anyone?
Cheers
Martin

Still waiting to hear back from them.

Thank you Jill, that is great to hear.

Sorry Geoff, I should have warned you. But you might have said no. Easier to seek forgiveness and all that. It is a great cover though and makes for a great read. Thanks for your time in helping me produce it. On another note, apologies that page 12 came out so dark. The page left me in good shape b...

Thanks Albert, I only spoke to the lad for a minute. He was asking in the shop and I overheard. The shop barely knew what Super 8 was.

I met a young man in a shop in my local town today - very excited, he had bought a super 8 cine camera, projector and some unused film and has been filming. He has come up against a brick wall. WHERE TO GET THE FILM DEVELOPED? I told him I that knew of people who are cine film aficionados and that I...

Thanks Tim, This makes me feel better. Only this afternoon I received an 865 word letter that was a barrage of negativity about my first two issues and completely took the wind out of my sails.

Thank you Tom & Michael for your kind words. Positivity makes it all seem worthwhile - it is hell of a lot of work. One man band and all that. Re the dark photos: I'm reluctant to brighten the photos during edit until I'm convinced it's a consistent artefact of the print reproduction process. Re...

Hello Ned, Thank you for your thoughts and feedback. I'll try to answer each point in turn. The opened envelope was nothing at all to do with me. I only edit the mag and write content. I have raised the issue with Buxton Press our printer and distributor, as it seems everyone - mine included - were ...

Hello Ken, Thank you for your thoughts on October FVM. Firstly, apologies for the photo I used. A whole load of mugshots were sent to me upon handover (which I presumed came from you) and I used that which I thought was clearest and with the best resolution – some of them were not up to print standa...

Hello Dave, to be clear, I am most grateful for your detailed feedback. Proper feedback is always so hard to squeeze out of people. Folks don't want to upset I suppose. What you provided was exactly what I needed. I was just being thorough in answering them all as though we were sat across a table. ...

Hi Dave, Thank you for your thorough review. I'll try to respond to those that require it: Envelope half-open at the bottom ! It seems everyone's was. It is on my ToDo list to write to Buxton Press about it. Cover striking. Not sure FVM has been serving anyone since 1932, though IAC has. TBH, in the...
