23rd November 2017 – Music Video Challenge
Once again the idea of having a challenge instead of a competition went well. Seven films were shown:
-
Spike and Friends – by Jack Reid
-
I Wish – Andy Wills
-
The Best Day of My Life – Jill Lampert
-
Break me Down – Ian Lane
-
To Autumn – Roger Lawrie
-
Kyrie Eleison – Alan Moore
-
Upton Court – Patrick Woodcock.
After each film there was constructive feedback and discussion of different ways of tackling problems filmmakers had faced.
We also watched Patrick Woodcock’s holiday film which couldn’t be shown on the Holiday Challenge night as he wasn’t able to be there. It is called “Christmas in Austria”.
And we watched Ian Reed’s film about lighting a moving actor.

Alan Moore's Kyrie Eleison is one from the archives and showed off his skill at hand held cinematography

Jack Reid's film had a hedgehog dancing.
