About this group
Have a look at our YouTube Channel!
The aim of our Audiovisual (AV) Group is to create presentations from our own images, coupled with sounds, voice or music to to keep family, friends or colleagues interested in watching them from start to finish. The group meets a few times a year to share knowledge, learn software and creative techniques and watch international standard presentations to learn the art of AV making.
Please email me if you would like to join us at the meetings. No experience required.

The ‘WATER’ Challenge
Since out last report in September, the CCC AudioVisual Group has been busy. In October, those who attended watched entries from the Essex AV Group (which were originally shown at an interchange with the South Australian AV Group) and the winners and acceptances from the Third International MFFC AV Salon held in South Africa. There were some superb presentations to stimulate our discussions and our creativity. At our November meeting we viewed the Upminster AV Group entries for the interchange with our own Camberwell Camera Club. This was not a competition but rather an opportunity for analysis, comments and suggestions made by our audience members which have been dispatched to their club. Responses by their group to our presentations came in today and these have been emailed to our AV makers. We hope to be able to do another interchange with UK later next year.
Our program for 2012 has been organised with meetings planned for Wednesday nights at 7.30pm. These are open to all members of the Camberwell Camera Club and no experience or knowledge is required. It would be great to have new people join, and if we do, we will go back to base one to explain how to make audiovisuals. I am sure many of you will enjoy viewing and trying your hand at this art and your friends will be amazed.
We’ve organised a couple of AV challenges for 2012. The first one is to make an audiovisual presentation on the theme – WATER. The interpretation is up to you. Try and keep it under 5 minutes long, and in a format that can be played on the club’s computer. Please bring it to show at our first meeting on February 8th, whether it is completely finished or not. The second theme is one on Australia, we are calling it the ‘Oz’ challenge but for the moment, our summertime is for concentrating on Water.
Wishing everyone a relaxing and enjoyable Holiday Season

CCC Audiovisual Group News Report
To prepare for our meeting on Monday 5th of September, our audiovisual (AV) group had been busy. It was the night where we fronted up with presentations made in black and white, being quite an unusual concept in AVs as they are usually made for impact and colour. The following presentations were shown on the night, and they were stunning in monochrome and a great learning experience for all.
Bert Hoveling: A Monochrome Mixture; Sony WPA at Cannes Colin Hunter: My Journey in Black & White; Melbourne Donna Killeen: The Beauty of Black &White Gaynor Robson: Street Photography Matt Moore: The Zoo Ruth Goldwasser: B & W Spinning Around
A couple of extra AV presentations were added to our submission for the Upminster U.K. exchange. The final list is:
| Colin Hunter: Burnham Beeches Estate; Sun Arise | Don Weston: California Motel; Lake Crespeina |
| Donna Killeen: The Red Centre | Gaynor Robson: The Day |
| John Varcoe-Cox: Welcome to Melbourne; Freeways | Matt Moore: Avalon Airshow; Mary |
| Ruth Goldwasser: Margarita; The Panda Story |
We are adding an extra meeting to be held in North Balwyn on Monday October 3rd where we will view presentations from the Essex AV Group as well as the winners and acceptances for the Third International MFFC AV Salon – 2011. This is an opportunity to see some excellent presentations.
Please note that the meeting after that, the viewing of Audiovisuals from the Upminster Camera Club, will be held on November 14th (a week later than the originally advertised date).
All Camberwell Camera Club members are invited to our meetings. If you would like to come, please would you let me know by email to ruthgcenter-fotoandfun@yahoo.com.au
Happy AV-ing
