And so we enter the final stretch of 2019 with our last regular meeting of the year, the final round of our annual club competition films! Offering club members a chance to test their creativity in three separate categories that pay tribute to past club members, this is one of the more unique and …
No this isn’t a case of deja vu, we have a second week where the theme of the meeting is another practical evening. No this isn’t a case of deja vu, we have a… hold on didn’t I type that already? Anyway, the idea behind this week’s session is to follow up what was …
It’s time to get out hands dirty again by putting what we’ve learned to good use for another OVFM practical evening. This time however, the session will be more of an educational one as we delve into the subject of lighting, one which has proven a perennial thorn in the side for filmmakers the …

GREEN SCREEN It’s time to get practical again with an old favourite, the green screen filming evening! We did a couple of these last year and they yielded some interesting responses from club members in using the clips in different settings, as well as earning some of the makers an award at this …
