Surrey Border Film & Video Makers
Surrey Border Film & Video Makers December Competition
Every year the club holds a competition. It has done so for many years and is a culmination
of the year's activities. The rules are simple, (1) the work must be that of members and
(2) it should not be more than 6 minutes long. The club invites a well known film critic in to
judge the results. The cups and shields etc available are:-
Jackson Trophy for 'Best Overall'
Pat Doherty Trophy for Best Use of Sound
Arthur English Memorial Trophy for Best Photography
Cup for Best Holiday Movie
The Ron Clements Trophy for creativity
The Jack Stribling Trophy for the best newcomer
Members need to note that films shown earlier in the year cannot be entered in this December competition. All films need to be handed in at the November club meeting. This is to give time for the films to be sent to the judges so they have time to view the films at liesure and come to their conclusions.

Who are we in this film/movie/video club? We make films, videos and movies and meet on the first Friday of the month to answer members questions and to discuss ongoing club projects. Well known film makers, judges and film professionals are often our speakers for the evening. We welcome visitors and new members interested in film and video, and there is no need to own digital cameras or camcorders and no need for previous experience, as we happily provide mentors for beginners. Surrey Border meetings start at 7:45pm and end just after 10:00pm with a refreshment break at around 9:00pm. Visitors and new members are warmly welcomed to the monthly meetings which are on the first Friday of each month (and the first visit is free). Our meetings are held in our new contemporary hall in St Joan's Centre which is in the grounds of St Joan's church in Tilford Road, near the station in Farnham. The hall has a large car park and is within easy reach of Guildford, Farnborough, Fleet, Bordon etc. In Surrey and Hampshire. Read more about us here.
Our interests We have a good mix of interests amongst members include script writing, acting, directing, technical and artistic and all agree that ideas and skills are more important than equipment as shown by there being fewer cameras and camcorders than members. Some get more enjoyment in viewing and discussing the films produced by others and just being part of the community. There are those who wouldn't wish to ever hold a camera or camcorder while some like to help in filming but don't own their own camcorder. Of course there are always those with the latest high definition wizz bang up to date cameras, camcorders, microphones and gadgets and the lovely thing is that they are always happy to demonstrate both equipment and techniques to others. For anyone thinking of buying a camera or camcorder advice is always on hand. We have almost equal numbers of members with PC and Mac computers. We regularly put on courses, tutorials and training sessions in the light of the current interests and needs of members. Individuals with particular problems typically have one to one help.
