Club Showreel Required for Sept 9th

[TimStannard]

Does anyone have a recent Club Showreel I can show to our members on September 9th. We have a couple of evenings a year where we like to sit back and enjoy films from another club and I realise I haven't filled this date yet. I'm asking on here as it's good to make contact with clubs we don't often come into contact with. We're looking for about 80 mins.

If desired, we'll gladly send feedback. If it's not desired, we'll equally gladly not!

Thanks in anticipation.

I could send you a programme that I recently showed at Newcastle ACA. Some spanish travelogues A Norway Doc. A doc on Beamish open air museum(award winner). Two High Def videos. One being about Royal Yacht Britannia. Total Approx 80 mins on DVD and Blu-ray. Excerps of these can be seen on YouTube under RoyfromDurham.

Many thanks to both Fraught and Roy for your kind offers (and in Fraught's case the potential of reducing Staines membership by causing severe heart problems among some members!).

However, i'm really after a club reel - something that contains films made by a number of different people. Hope you understand.

(I might consider an evening of films by a select two or three people in the future though - good idea)

[fraught]

No problem Tim. There are a fair few film makers in the Basingstoke area at the moment, and can put together a pretty decent compilation of various people's work.

Let me know if you want me to send you some stuff.

If still stuck Pendle has some used for public show in celebration of our fiftieth, roughly according to the decades.

Thanks Peter, that would make an iinteresting selection.
I'm pleased to say that in the meantime Frome have come up wit the goods for Sept 9th, so my immediate problem has been solved.

Thanks to all for your offers.

Moving this to a more general area, I'm rather surprised so few people responded. I would have thought more clubs woud have showreels ready to show off at a moments notice, be they to send to other clubs or for putting on show to local organisations. At Staines we commit every year's annual show (plus a few others) to a showreel tape and DVD so we've always got something available at the drop of a hat.

Do other clubs not do the same, or have they lost interest in showing their members' films and club films after the year?

[Peter Copestake]

We don't have enough films of general interest to make up an annual show but we do about 10 - 12 shows a year to mostly elderly people who have little interest in whether the films are new or not and they only want 45 minutes quite often but anyway we tend to try to meet their preferences so a show reel would not necessarily the best way to go about it.

I know other clubs do have showreels - perhaps they are on holiday.

I also have personal discs made up of films made over the years and I should say that some of our 'club' ones are made by individuals too.

Contact me via the IAC club directory if you want further offers - North West region - Pendle Movie Makers.

Peter.
