We are a group of keen, amateur film makers who use video cameras as the basis of our craft. Our group contains members of all skill levels, from basic beginners, to advanced semi-professional.
Our goal is to work together and benefit from each other's skills, experience and creativity to ensure everyone gets the maximum enjoyment from their film-making.
A touch of Magix
Five club members attended a recent demonstration of the new video editing software, Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus. This new programme looks as though it will offer very useful editing facilitiies and new features at an inexpensive price.

AKM Music demo - One of our meetings earlier this year
This was a very well attended and extremely interesting meeting.
AKM Music do not usually visit film making clubs as they are the UK’s number one producer of high quality Copyright Free Music / Royalty Free Music.
They showed a number of short films that had been made in which AKM music had been used. These films ranged through drama, horror, travel, documentary and humour, showing the versatility of how background music can be used and the vast range of tracks available from AKM.
Their music is now constantly used on ITV Network, Channel 4, Channel 5, SKY and satellite TV broadcasts worldwide.
With no need for an MCPS licence AKM Copyright Free Music / Royalty Free Music can be used and re-used on as many productions as you like.
This was a superb evening, enjoyed by everybody who attended and the club would like to thank AKM for making this such a success.

We meet at Stoke Mandeville Community Centre - full address, map and contact details
Many of our members had never made a film before joining us and have since become very exciting film makers. We do have some lady members but more would be most welcome.
Our evenings consist of all aspects of video/film making and other clubs are visited and call in on us too, we have lectures and hands on evenings. But the main thing we have is fun, because that is what a hobby should be in our opinion
Our small annual charge of £20 works out to be less that £2.00 per evening and includes a regular newsletter.
Why not just come to one of our meetings and see us?
