  • Malcolm ImhoffThe next meeting of the group is on Wednesday 19th November when Malcolm Imhoff FRPS will be our guest speaker. Malcolm says "...My talk is called "An Audio-Visual Journey" and I shall be showing a selection of sequences of different types and discussing the thinking behind them and how they were made..."

    Malcolm has been producing Audio-Visuals for over twenty two years.  He enjoys communicating his interests in travel, landscapes, mountaineering, and all sorts of music.  He has developed a personal style in which excellence in photography, skill in the use of sound, and the creation of rhythm in the production, are interwoven to engage the emotions of the audience. He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and serves on the RPS Audio-Visual Distinctions Panel.  Last year he was honoured to be invited to be Chairman of the Jury at the National AV Festival.

 

  • The next version of Pictures to Exe (version 5.6) is available for beta testing. As usual go to www.wnsoft.com , into the FORUM area and then the PicturesToExe forum to find the file (or click here to download the file). Note that new file will not overwrite your current version of PTE so you can have both running concurrently.

    There aren't huge changes in this version, many are to do with making video files for a variety of devices such as HD television, iPhones and such like. There is, however, a mask feature in the Objects and Animation facility which should prove interesting. (Lin Evans already has a PDF tutorial on this feature at www.learntomakeslideshows.net/sample/masktutorial.zip )

 

  • The next national competition will be the Great Northern, held on Saturday 6th December at Wilmslow. See  www.wilmslowguildav.org.uk under 'Syllabus' for further details.

 

  • A new website covering Audio Visual matters is being launched. It is run and edited by our recent guest speakers; Jill Bunting and John Smith (who also edit the RPS AVNews magazine), but you don't have to be a member of the 'Royal' to benefit. Have a look at www.avnews.org.uk
