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. |

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!

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! |
