Aims of the Club
To encourage all video
camera (camcorder) users to get the most out of their equipment and to
encourage editing in all forms - non-linear and analogue.
About
the club
This club caters for both local members and correspondent
members living in Australia
and New Zealand. Monthly video assignments are set for
members. These are for a two minute video and a longer video that can be
any length
up to ten minutes. Video titles are given for both assignments.
The two minute videos are judged at the monthly meeting on the fourth
Wednesday of each month and a mark of 12 or more ensures a certificate and a step up the
grading ladder. While this
sounds to be a monthly competition, it isn't. No other
member knows the score of any
entry. The videos are a means of learning the principals
of video making in a challenging way. The longer video, or "clip" is not judged, it
is made to a pre-determined subject, it is for entertainment. Both video makers and viewers enjoy the assignments.
A workshop is conducted for members. The workshop is for
the
growing number of NLE enthusiasts.This morning workshop is conducted
at a different location and
on a different edit system each month.
Two club meetings are held each month. These are on the 2nd and 4th
Wednesdays of every month
(including December and January).
The club meets at the Mudgeeraba Primary School on Old
Coach Road, Mudgeeraba
at 7.15 p.m. The meetings usually don't finish until
after 10.00 p.m.
A regular magazine known as Video Klips is published on the web site monthly and as well as advising of club activities and happenings, gives tips and instruction too.
An outing is usually arranged every month, this is as
much a social occasion as an
opportunity for enthusiasts to use their cameras. We have
a lot of fun on these trips.
We have even been known to book three or four rooms and fill them with
club members for up to a week in various locations on the East Coast
of Australia.
There is one major club competition held in April/May
each year which is known as the
Alvin Award. A clay sculpture of "Alvin" is the
trophy and is very much treasured
by the winner.
