Sounds Cool...

As well as make movies... i have a CD or Two of music that my "band" put together... 'Piece of Pie' (you can find us on MySpace)

If anyone wants some dancy/trancy music in their movies, completely free of charge, just drop me a note.

All we want is a credit.

LOL.... true... that does sound a pain.

Can you not hold it in one place and then broadcast the event over the web Live?

Sadly... i shall be visiting family in Northern Ireland at the time of the Festival... so will miss out this time.

I may put my neck on the line here... but i used to enjoy the festivals when they were in London. I know i'm in the minority... but it was easier for me.

For Star Wars... you can't beat these fan films! They put George Lucas to shame!

From Star Wars (the most popular), to Indiana Jones, to Harry Potter, to The Matrix. Have any of you out there made ...

Just thought i'd let you know... i did this... and it worked a treat!

Re making your film Official, sometimes all it takes is to get it screened in the right places.

I first filmed the victim running and spinning around to a stop and after the cut, I left the camera running. I t...

I remember when the club i belonged to got a 60'ish year old guy to run the show (ex-BBC), the first thing he asked us to do was make a short documentary on how to make a cup of tea! Now i know people need to learn the basics... but isn't our hobby all about having fun too!? Did you consider that o...

Thanks for mentioning that Dave... i haven't been around much lately, and was wondering if people are using these things?

I find that its quite impressive to say that you are a member of the Institute for Amateur Cinematographers. It certainly sounds respectable, and that it takes itself seriously... but ...

More than a year later...

... did anyone take note? I'll browse the website and see.

Good tip Dave.
