Luton Movie Makers Newsletter 19 March 06
   
BIAFF (British International Amateur Film Festival)
Don't forget to book your tickets to see the top amateur films
at Bedford Moat House, recently renamed The Park Inn, 
in two weeks time, from 30 Mar to 2 Apr.
Scott's film, the short version of Warriors of Hastings, which won a 
Silver Plus award will be shown on the Saturday, 1 April (no Joke!).
   
Filme Lab
Several of us (Paul, Scott, Dapo, Vicky) attended the Introductory 
workshop of Filme Lab yesterday. This is an interesting new development 
which will support the growth of film making in this area. The speakers
were from Filmstock/Zerobalance and E-Learning Centre.
Several of the people there also expressed interest in joining Luton
Movie Makers.
    
A Possible Western
It would be a first for our club to produce a "Western", and would give 
us a big leap ahead of other clubs in our region. On Thursday
we discussed the possibility and looked at some of the 3-hours or more
of film taken at Sioux City in the Canary Islands on a recent holiday. 
Using the blue-screen techniques that Scott and Frank have been 
perfecting in "Invaders", "Greed" and "Tomorrow's off", it seems 
possible to "super-impose" our own story over the "western" backgrounds.
We also thought about ways of making it fit the "Wrong Number"-theme 
for next year's triangle competition.
