Next Movie Division Meeting March 15, 2008

The next SCSC Movie/Video Division meeting will be held in the Longley Way School auditorium (2601 Longley Way, Arcadia, CA 91006) on March 15, commencing at 6:00 with a pizza dinner, followed by a meeting and show.

John Hart, Movie Division Chairman, has proposed that the Division alternate between sponsoring Division projects and international competitions. Since its inception in 1982, the group has sponsored five competitions and several group projects as well as providing a platform for sharing individual 3-D movie/video efforts.

It is an exciting time for 3-D motion picture enthusiasts. After more than fifty years since the 1953 heyday, we are once again able to find at least one 3-D movie playing at any given time and many more in the works.

Ray Zone, group member and author of Stereoscopic Cinema and Origins of 3-D Film, has suggested the next group project be a spoof based on the Ro-man character of the classic Robot Monster. He has offered to draft a screenplay and will outline his proposal at the meeting. Another suggestion came from SCSC President, Jeff Amaral, who recommends the group work on a compilation of short individual works.

At the meeting Tom Koester will share a 3-D video he is working on. We also hope to see some behind the scene action shot by John Rupkalvis on the Dark Country set. Let John Hart know if you have something else to share.

Please RSVP your intention to attend to John Hart (movies3D@aol.com or 818-437-2523) so that the appropriate amount of pizza and soft drinks can be ordered.
