CforT - wow! You have summed up so many things, so well in that posting. You are right that we should try to expand into social networking groups - though as a member of Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and Twitter myself it seems to me that these are all designed for individuals and the various organisation...

Where should the next festival be?
We have been used to three international level festivals in the British Isles. Now that the Cotswold Festival has come to an end, should we be agitating for a new one? If so where? The Lily is, of course, tied to the Island of Guernsey in the south. BIAFF moves between Worthing on the south coast an...

The Cotswold Film Festival is no more.
The 9th Cotswold International Film & Video Festival, 2008, was the last one. For more news see its website http://www.cotswoldfilmvideofest.co.uk/ Lee Prescott, founder and organiser of the event, announced his retirement at the end of the award presentations. At that point there were plans for...

I re-read this thread and realised that Greg was originally talking about competitions organised within a club or perhaps between a couple of clubs. While many of us have been talking about national and international festivals. At club level things can be much more restrictive ... and judging can be...

Maybe part of the attraction for am-dram actors in a film project could be having a chance to LEARN film technique. Tape is cheap, though time can be a problem. But it may be worth planning time to try some key scenes then on another night playing them back - probably repeatedly - in a workshop sess...

Slightly to my surprise - because I thought from my cinema and 35mm experience I was familiar with how different a widescreen show can look - this is impressive even on the YouTube version which is not the full 3:1. Given that there have been all sorts of widescreen formats over the years in cinemas...

In the IAC Festival the average length of entry is just under 12 minutes. On the main website http://www.theiac.org.uk/events/forthcoming_festivals.html has a listing of major competitions by the maximum length they accept. Notice that the Phase 4 Fiction Film competition organised by Ken Wilson for...

Hi Ned I suggest the wiki is a good starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD#Panasonic and this may help https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/desk/e/download.htm Or you could buy a Sony Playstation! Dave P.S. For those not following the story of the AVCHD system, it was develope...

the processor has a fader - which is useful. In a perfect world there would be a mixer board with HDMI inputs and outputs at a reasonable price, but in the real world I wonder if we should consider returning to the physical method of dimming a projector ... sliding something in front of the lens. T...
