OVFM Club Meeting Tuesday November 6th 2012

November kicks off with two of OVFM’s longest running competitions taking place: The Vic Treen Trophy and the Kath Jones Cup.

A quick reminder of what is expected for each one:

The Vic Treen Trophy is a film set to music although this means being creative with the timing and editing rather than just slapping a bit of Coldplay or Tinie Tempah over footage of your trip to Chessington Zoo.

The Kath Jones Cup requires a comedy film of no longer than five minutes that has a definitive punchline to it; in other words a short comic sketch if you will.

Attending club members will score the films for both competitions on the night with the winners to be announced at the Oscars next year.

Good luck to all who enter their films this year. Here’s to a potentially fun and rocking evening!!

And so the final of the initial qualifying rounds of this year’s competition is upon us. We’ve seen some interesting films thus far so hopefully this session wouldn’t disappoint either.

If last year is any indicator, some of you will be leaving it to the last minute before making your film which would suggest a healthy turn out of entries to close this opening stage of the contest.

The remaining club members invited to provide their films are:

 

Andy & Marian Watson

Jim Morton Robertson

Barbara Walker

Mike Bishop

Andy Webb

Basil Doody

Sylvia Snipp

Ray Hewitt

Derek Allen

Alan Smith

Malcolm Goodwin

Susan Ward

Len Lawrence

 

Please reply to this post if you will be providing a film for this week’s session.

If you don’t then have a film ready please let Brenda Wheatley but I’m sure that those who missed their spot earlier in the contest will be able to provide ample substitution.

Good luck to everyone who enters a film!

OVFM Autumn Show 2012

OVFM Autumn Show 2012

 

When the members of OVFM work so hard at producing films it seems only fair that they should get the best showing possible. At club meetings their work is projected onto a large screen, but when we put on a show at an outside venue we’re also able to attract a much larger audience.

We have always held a Spring event but thanks to the number of films available this year we are now able to include an Autumn event to our social calendar.

This year’s Autumn Show will take place on  FRIDAY 9th NOVEMBER at 7.30 pm

VENUE –  Methodist Church, 19 Sevenoaks Road, Orpington BR6 9JH

DIRECTIONS – GOOGLE MAP

WEBSITE – http://www.orpingtonmethodist.org.uk/welcome.htm

Club members get in free but for others the tickets are £5 – which includes refreshments – and are available from our secretary Freddy Beard on 01689 813616

For an entertaining and sociable evening get your tickets a.s.a.p. and bring along your friends and family!

See you then!

You Be The Judge III!!

Just when you thought it was safe….

Yes, Reg “Bomber” Lancaster has decided that we at OVFM need to teach the judges of the UNICA (Union internationale du cinéma) film competition a thing or two about how to properly evaluate and rate a film. As we have seen in the past, they have a penchant for getting it wrong, awarding low marks to some masterpieces while rewarding the lame and uninspired.

The films that Reg and his pet wife Lady Annabelle will subject us are a random selection of the many entries to the UNICA competition and if previous sessions are any indication it should be an interesting and entertaining evening.

A quick reminder that these films have already been awarded Diploma, Bronze, Silver or Gold prizes by the UNICA judges and we discover if our measly opinions match those of the judges. As I have been lead to understand, every time we get it wrong that is another year added to the career of Jedward, so I ask you all, in earnest, to take this VERY seriously indeed, for the sake of all humanity.

All this and more to come your way on Tuesday evening. See you then!
