CLUB WINS AYRSHIRE TROPHY!

In Ayr on Thursday 22nd November 2007, Austin Kelly of the Largs Videomakers’ Club won the Simpson Trophy in the Ayrshire inter-club competition with his film, “Tones of Tuscany”. He is seen here receiving the trophy from Walter Smith, President of the Largs Videomakers’ Club. The Trophy has been held previously by the Largs group for winning films in 2001 and 2004. The Club is delighted to hold this trophy for another year.

MULDOON FILM STUDIO

The 9th July 2007 was a memorable day for Largs Videomakers member Jim Muldoon. To enhance his hobby, Jim has had built a video studio in his back garden. It contains not only all his editing equipment but also a viewing area seating very comfortably in upholstered chairs, in excess of a dozen people. He is able to project his finished videos onto a large screen. Walter Smith, President of Largs Videomakers' Club, cut the banner at the entrance to mark the official opening of the studio.

CLUB WINS NATIONAL COMPETITION!

A group from Largs Videomakers, led by Austin Kelly, came out tops in The Scottish Association of Moviemakers 5 Minute Film competition, recently held in Alva. The video, "Another God Given Day", combined spectacular scenes of the beautiful Largs countryside and shores, with the wonderful music of local choir, "Variations". Well done, Austin and team!

TOP PRIZE FOR NEIL!

A scene from Neil's video - "The Clyde"

It's true what they say, "success breeds success", and another member walks away with the silverware! This time it was a solo effort by Neil Stuart. His video, "The Clyde", won first prize in the Novice Competition, run by the Scottish Association of Moviemakers. This first-class video traced the route of the River Clyde, as the song says " from Leadhills all the way to the sea". Neil put a tremendous effort into this film and we are all delighted to see him gain his just rewards. Hopefully the first of many!
