Frome Film and Video Makers held their open video competition at the Catholic Hall in Park Road recently.
The Frome club reports, “The 36 movies entered from all over the country, provided an entertaining evening for the audience.
“Representatives from other clubs included Weymouth, Orpington, Staines, Devizes, and West Wilts.
“The films were entered in various categories, but the overall winner was ‘Miracle on the Mantlepiece’ made by Tim Stannard of Staines Video Makers.
“This showed what may be happening on your mantlepiece on Christmas Eve. Using green screen, animation, and computer skills, we saw Christmas cards come to life. A large star on one card lit the scene, three snowmen sang carols, and the characters in the snow on other cards make their way to a cosy fireside scene for a warm. A very clever film.
“In the interval, members’ wives served tea and coffee, and provided a great buffet.
“If you are interested in making films why not come along to one of our meetings at the Canoe Club, Frome. We meet every two weeks.” Visit their website. http://fromevideo.webs.com
