Hiya Fraught..... 7D eh?..... very nice piece of kit ! having done 35mm with a humongous range of cameras for the last 30 years that particular camera will stand you in good stead my man ! not sure about using it for Video work mind .... Tom will be along soon to give us the low down on it ! I agree...

I'll buy you a pint and the Mrs for that recent work on the forum Dave.... most excellent !

much ....much......nay.... MUCH.... cleaner and easier on the eye!

hey Willy !! you must be reading my mind..... today I have had the camera out in the snow filming an interlude film !!!! :D :D :D :D couldn't find a Potter with his wheel or kittens, but did find a rather nice snow covered landscape with old houses (complete with smoke out of the chimney) and peeps ...

The work that judges do is invaluable in promoting our hobby. Judges in this area of the UK (the North East of England) are pretty cool ! They are very positive and enthusiastic without being condescending. As a competition secretary it is difficult sometimes to get judges (!) where have I heard tha...

the wisdom of the list is sought... Anyone had experience of quick relaease adapter plates, something like the Manfrotto MN577... I have a Libec DV950 and Glidecam 4000+ with which I would like to fit an adaptor to each one? definately the Glidecam as I want to preserve the as near as possible the b...

cor blimey gu'vnor... a new model already :shock: ..... I still have mine to pay for !!!!!! :shock: :shock: but ... as you say Billy .... its a cracking camera and not much to shout about with the new model.... the tape option is a good thing for backing up.... you cannot argue with 13Gb of data for...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... yes? anyone that puts together pictures whether they be single frame, 25fps or 30ps(for ned c :wink: ) will get my vote! I just love watching other peeps work, especially that that may not convey any form of message, plot, story or construction, except that t...

The BIAFF 2010 Competition Rules state that only Blue Ray Discs are being accepted for HD entries.


Am I missing something here?

Does this mean that HD entries on DVtape or standard DVD will not be accepted?

this continual update malarky can certainly spoil the positives in the PC world :shock: its something that has been the norm for the last few years and unfortunately while we have the microsh@te monopoly it will not change.... ... but all is not lost... a couple of years down the line we need not wo...

Think this a great idea! Having done a spell of judging in the past, and as you say Dave I may make comments to a film maker that I would not want in the public domain would need some thought before publication. It would be great to see a selection of BIAFF films on this website with the judges comm...

I agree entirely with you on this one ned... When speaking to potential members (especially younger peeps) they do seem to wince when you mention the word amateur. It does have a certain stigma attached to it. This should not be taken as negative blow to all the fantastic work done by the likes of t...

Roy.... keep playing.... Magix is a pretty cool piece of kit! I was tres dubious at first but it seems capable of doing most stuff... the Dutch guy that gave the the lecture at Newcastle ACA said that it would take a little getting used to if you have been used to other packages.... yup that was goo...

a burning issue with some peeps Dave !!!! with the advent of convergeance upon us its only a matter of time when the likes of the main camera manufacturers produce the all singing all dancing stills/video camera combination (Canon Mk2 5D is a pretty good example of the quality obtainable even now ie...

I use em for cables!

Roy. I think you may have touched on something that has most certainly been lost over the years. I am far too young to remember the hey day of cinema days (ahem!) :roll: but do remember the atmosphere in the early 60's (as a boy) going to the saturday club at the ABC Ritz Gateshead or to see a big f...
