HOUNSLOW PHOTOGRAPHIC ,SOCIETY. Report on activities.
To see how the professional tackles a holiday or travel film, we screened films
from B.O.A.C. - one a Kodachrome travel film "Speedbird to Sunrise" gave
members many ideas on continuity and linking shots. The other two films-"Air
Parade" and "In on the Beam" aroused admiration for both the interesting and
technical qualities of the films.
Also in the last month we had a debate with Still Section and although the
Cine were outnumbered, we managed to keep our end up and almost had
several converts. ,
THE ERIMUS RESEA,RCH GROUP, Middlesbrough, Yorks, is an organisation
which caters for enthusiasts of all gauges, though most of it's activities have
been concerned with 9.5 mm. Apart from making films, this Group believes in
making as much as .possible of it's own equipment. Equipment made and
adapted in this way includes a 22 watt push-pull amplifier, a large and varied
assortment of lighting equipment, and an all-purpose gantry-cum-screen stand-
cum-mobile proscenium. A News Reel of local events during 1953 is being
compiled. Plans are well ahead for the winter season and will include public
showings of amateur films.
