Film Drama

Last Sunday the club filmed the new drama 'Three to Go". Fortunately both the writer and director required indoor filming as the heavy drizzle pelted down outside.

A taxable and enjoyable couple of days with most of the participants working just a little outside their comfort zones.

About 90% of the film is in the 'can' and it is over to the editor. The following photos are by Peter Begg.

To members of OTAGO AMATEUR MOVIE MAKERS INC.

Hello all,

You will recall that Gio and some of the members have expressed an interest in the club producing a short film. We have a great story idea, and there is now a pro-forma script in place. Several very enthusiastic members are very keen to take this further. In order to plan how we initiate the making of the film, a meeting of those interested in becoming involved is going to be held next Thursday 23 May,  at John and Robyn Armstrong’s residence, 1 Upland Street, Helensburgh, Dunedin. Time 7.30 pm

It was hoped that we could use the Corstorphine Community centre where there are rooms we are considering for our filming location, but this is not available that night

we will get an opportunity to look at it again in the near future to perhaps discuss some basics of how things may happen.

The reason for this initial meeting is to determine the following:

agree on the script

finance (there doesn’t seem to be too much of a worry here)

who is doing what

venue

equipment needed

recording format

Transport

proposed time line

- and other related issues

If you are keen to get involved whether by acting or assisting in the production

PLEASE EMAIL MYSELF OR GIO TO ADVISE YOUR INTENTION TO ATTEND...(if you are interested but can’t make it  Thursday it would still be great to be aware of your interest)

Our thanks must go to Gio Angelo for the effort and time he has put in to get to this stage. This is an exciting and worthwhile venture, and fits perfectly with our wishes as stated earlier this year to step out and work on a new project.

Regards

Peter Begg

President,
