Ken Drury our sound guru had written a play for radio. The club members were involved in recording this play. Members decided that we should use this opportunity to film the enterprise as a documentary. We have now edited the tapes and have a novel part sound radio play and part film of the venture. Since making this film, Ken passed away on the 18th November 2009. He will be sadly missed.

Our lighting evening went very well. Please click here for a full report.

Crafts ancient and modern. The coming together of the modern cinematic craft of Chroma Key, now widely practiced in the film making and the ancient craft of wooden flower making. Ike Jackson, a Romany gipsy demonstrated the making of wooden flower making while members filmed him. Members will now key in a background to suit  and show to the Club at a later date. More pictures in the picture gallery.

Kent Police had the honour of hosting the All England Police Dog Trails 2009 in front of Prince Michael of Kent.  The club was commissioned to make a DVD of the event. We used 6 cameras and 40 hours of tape to edit into a 30/40 minute filming capturing the atmosphere of the event. More pictures in the Picture Gallery.

Preparations underway for another evening in Blue Screen Work to while away the winter evenings, and also prove that given the information, a camera can,  and does lie - you can be seen in the most surprising places through it’s lenses. See the Gallery.

Making a film these days must have sound. To correctly balance the audio is another skill needed. John Hooker provided us with an excellent evening on the subject. Click here to see the sample DVD John made.
