About Mercury Movie Makers Meet the Committee
We are always looking for new members. If you are interested in creative film making, acting, writing scripts, or just watching films, then come along and see what the club has to offer. See the Programme for "What's on". You will be made most welcome. Remember, this is an amateur club, we are by no means all experts but we can learn from others.
At the very least if you are considering buying a camcorder you can rely on getting unbiased advice from members.
It is a matter of pride that we make club films and here is a way to gain experience. Individual members films can be story films, documentaries, animation or holiday films.
Owners of camcorders who wish to get more out their hobby should also have a look at Mercury Movie Makers.
We have the very latest equipment including a Blu-ray player and High Definition projector which is capable of showing films on DVD, AVCHD and of course Blu-ray. We can show both aspect ratio films 4:3 and 16:9. We also have facilities to show MiniDV films. The Projector can also be linked directly to a computer.
