Images of the front covers of club community projects
This is a small selection of the video cases that have come from Surrey Border Film and
Video Makers over the years. With the exception of 'Judgement Day' these are all
community projects made to help various charities in
their fund raising. The majority are in VHS format for
historical reasons. We have made DVDs but these have yet to be collected together and
scanned for this web site.

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.

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.
