Collide

Milton Keynes Camcorder club were asked to participate in a Folk Archive Art project at the M.K. Gallery, featuring a travelling exhibition of works by artists Deller & Kane. The club was asked to liaise with a local skateboard group, on the making of a film of their activities. Stephen Crawford volunteered to undertake the editing of DV footage shot by Paul deCunha of a variety of local skateboarders, including some startling stunts by his 8-year-old son Alex. Local band “21 Dead” were invited to provide one of their rock compositions for the sound track.

The day of the exhibition was Saturday 17th September, and an early start was made by Stephen, Bill Eustace and Simon Russell to transport and set up Stephen’s edit suite in the Events Room at MK Gallery. A variety of visitors enjoyed watching Stephen demonstrate the editing of the skateboard film, and some good suggestions were made by some of the skateboarders.

The following week our video “Collide” was shown on a large screen at the opening of the new Central Milton Keynes skateboard park

Big Bad John
 

We had a great club weekend in the Forest of Dean to shoot scenes for this production

Operation Pancake

In 1999 several club members collaborated  on the production of a video featuring  Olney and it's famous pancake race.  

Subsequent sales of the video (on two continents!) raised a good sum which was donated to Willen Hospice.  

A valuable learning experience for everyone that took part, and one of the clubs best achievements to date

 

MK Arts Society
Our efforts to help out at a recent painting demonstration were well received by the many who attended.  Using cameras and display screens we were able to show live close-ups of the demonstration in progress, allowing more of the audience to get a ringside seat and see details they might otherwise have missed.  Unfortunately even the TV screens were not big enough to enable the whole audience to share the benefits.  Nevertheless, the Society have asked us to repeat this at future meetings - Volunteers needed - Get Involved Now !
Gospel Concert
At the request of the organisers we recorded Novembers Gospel Concert 'The Rock' at the Church of Christ the Cornerstone in Central Milton Keynes.  Post production work is now in progress.  This interesting multi camera shoot could well be repeated next year.  If you want to be involved in this, or similar future events, Get in touch now!
