IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

The only time i get "Grumby" when the council tax goes up. I embrace all this new wizardry but i cant get my head around the kamikaze style of videos posted on the internet and most of the people who put it their think it is brilliant. Even if one gives good advice on the negative side, Al...

Over the years I have noticed the influx off amateur videos on YouTube and various forums. Also many younger people go into studying media. You may ask "SO WHAT". Well, 70% is pure rubbish and when one gives advice one gets knocked down,which I don't mind but something has altered to the d...

Why not try a video club near your area?

Col, there are two versions of FCP. FCP-X and FCP-7 on the Mac system

In honesty if you come from the old brigade film making is hard. Today it is all different and as a old timer carrying filming equipment is a breeze. One camcorder and two good pair of hands and a good pair of glasses. The past was fun the present is just mind boggling but exciting. Too give up woul...

Yesterday I took a walk on the wild side and visited a Video Club which i know and have given a talk and showed some of my work in the past. They had an open evening. Only 8 people attended and four of them were young members which was great to see. Even saw one video which one of them made. The vid...

Even they cut-a-ways shoots we used as an exercise for people wanting to learn editing film. I was in a major film "The Music Lovers" by Ken Russell. The three days we filmed at this park all ended on the cutting room floor.
I think people should call a video "VideoMovie" not film.

Even today the word film creeps in people making video media. Filming with film was fun and one concentrated on every shoot. Today its all about video software plug ins. But time move on.

One software not mention?, My brain. Although the saying is 'Touch Wood"

Talking magazines, when cine film was about it was the bible to learn and know what clubs were doing in the country. Today we are in the washing mode with PC and Mac magazines. I would not know what is in PC magazine as i use Apple. The Mac magazines are full of tutorials which i can learn on the in...

My end note to this topic is........ Good Luck

If you are so passionate about your video why not go down an other avenue and market your product to the consumer. Even car boot market could help. Festivals are o.k but it is like playing Russian Roulette. You said you entered in Festivals already. What was the outcome? Also have you done a public ...

Personally i would have tackled this subject before making the video. For people to invest they must like the video and subject. As you are aware so many media projects get made and it will be difficult for people to invest. Sorry to say not my cup of tea. Your product falls into the same mould as w...

Hi Tim, Yes, clubs can offer a lot. The biggest asset is experience. When it comes to making video stories in clubs. You can wait for ages from the club to decide or you make it yourself. That is the experience I had in the past. Many clubs are very good specially Bristol Video Club. Many youngster ...

Roy you are correct what you said. I guess using YouTube as an example was wrong. Today presentation of video material is on a massive scale. Working on the film "The Music Lovers" I used my Fuji sound camera for filming behind the scene, and the camera man gave me a tip how to eliminate t...
