IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

it did make me think there's room for a + and - system to be put in place Tom, putting such a system in place for films where one panel sees every film and has time to analyse in detail (and possibly watch again) would make sense, but i'd suggest that even with the heroic attempts to standardize ju...

I'd start here, Jill: https://support.google.com/youtube/answ ... er-than-gb, Jill:

Mustn't argue with the referees of course, but I did feel that for one film they didn't quite "get it" ( down to me as the maker I guess!) This is a potential problem with any viewer, not just judges. I could bore you with tales of a film I made several years ago with a pair of twins and ...

Though quite a lot of Shakespeare's and Beethoven's work required several others for it to be appreciated by the masses

That site you mention is so out of date it isn't true! Just to be clear the "site" is not a repository of information. It uses artificial intelligence to create conversations but draws on lots of other resources. As these resources include books and sites such as reddit (but apparently no...

AI Chatbots are hitting the headlines. I've just been playing with ChatGPT which is really impressive in many ways. Whilst it is not designed to be a search engine (indeed it's not designed to be anything except a research project) I thought I'd ask it about our world. It didn't know of any IAC in t...

Here is an edited version of Brahms Hungarian dance No7 to be used in an animated dance film, "Pin up," to illustrate the piano in Playscore2. Funnily enough the perfomance is very good (as in believable) but there are issues with some buzzing on the audio (which until i listened with hea...

No difference in outlook Tim. Both want to satisfy an audience, both want to add to a portfolio of work (You Tube, Vimeo), both compete with fellow film makers to appeal to judges. As to the subject of the film, I can't see any difference between a personal choice or one suggested by others. I thin...

No Tim, I don't think it is "a different outlook". We are film makers, whether we wish o make a career out of it or not. The aim of the activity is identical, to make good films. That is the aim of both, yes, but for we amateurs, that is it. We aim to make the best film we possibly can ba...

I promise this is the last time I will write this; a start will be a specific student section of BIAFF juried by academics and industry professionals with generous rewards. Ned, I agree with Michael - if it's what you (and many others believe) then you owe it to yourself/"the cause" to ar...

This rather sadly, the screenings will be largely on sites such as YouTube. It is not the same as a large screen presentation, but that seems to be the way it is all going. is the bigger picture . We can whinge al we like about clubs not attracting members and speculate as to what we need to do to ...

Controversial perhaps: I think the film will do untold damage to struggling clubs - at least in terms of recruitment. The few people who will watch it (apart from existing members of clubs) are potential members and this will have killed them off. Few will watch past the very slow first few minutes ...

Yes, thanks Ken. I look forward to seeing the actual quote about Oklahoma's film in context!

Tim, I did say 'Classical music' which by normal definition is all well over 70 years old. I mentioned Brahms music as an example.....he died in 1897 Fair enough, if you're talking Classical as in the Classical period rather than broad terms. I look forward to hearing some of what you achieve. It s...

Not wishing to take the wind out of your sails, Albert, but whilst this may free you of the copyright of the performance/recording, it does not affect the mechanical copyright (ie the copyright of the composition) which exists for 70 years after the composer/lyricists death for anything not in the p...
