Don’t forget…

Tonight, Tuesday Oct 13th is our monthly A/V Group meeting.
Bring along your A/V’s and we will watch and disect as usual.
After the members A/V presentations we will be doing a tutorial in Pro Show on the subject of captions and motion.

See you at Wadham House at 7.30pm…sharp

For those of you trying to decide whether to go on the 2010 Labour Day long weekend trip to Halls Gap, have a quick look at this short A/V I put together of our 2009 trip to Beechworth.

We had a great time, and occasionally got some good photos…

Tuesday Sept 8th sees the third monthly meeting of our A/V special interest group at Wadham House at 7.30pm.

For those of you who were at the “club night” last Tuesday and hopefully inspired by the A/V presentations from our judge Pele Leung, why not come along and start with us the journey of learning, so that hopefully one day we can all make A/V’s as inspiring as Peles’.

Last month, Ross showed us how to start creating an A/V.

This month we hope to take things a stage further. If anyone has an A/V they have either finished…or just started, or all stages in between, please bring it along on Tuesday and as a group we will analyze, dissect and learn…hopefully.

If anyone is struggling to produce an A/V because you do not have any appropriate software, well the good news is I have found a web service which will do it for you. Go to www.animoto.com and see for yourself.

See you all on Tuesday at Wadham House…7.30pm prompt

Don’t forget…tonight (Tuesday Aug 11th) we have our second meeting of the A/V group…all welcome.

The meeting starts at 7.30pm at Wadham House, and tonight Ross is going to demonstrate how to start the process of creating an A/V from scratch…

See you there.

Tuesday, July 14th was the first meeting of the A/V special interest group at Wadham House.

17 members turned up on the evening.

Peter Myers and Ross Garner demonstrated 3 existing A/V presentations, and the group were invited to critique these presentations. The main point which came from the critiques were the importance of planning the story to be told by the A/V, the relevance of appropriate music to the presentation, and the significance of ensuruing that visual transitions were “In Sync” with the beat and temp of the accompanying music.

Ross demonstrated his A/V presentations which were produced in the dark ages, long before the availability of computers and compter software. The core production techniques referred to above were all present in these A/V’s and clearly demonstrated their importance.

The group agreed to meet each month, with the objective of presenting a number of completed A/V productions to the club by March 2010 with the intention of selecting some A/V’s to represent the club at the 2010 VAPS muster.

Next month’s meeting will be Tuesday August 11th at Wadham House. Ross and Peter will bring some image and audio assets to the meeting and the group will together begin the process of creating an A/V from these assets.
