| July 29 Sleight of Hand & A Place to Call Home Screenings & Q&A's
RSVP's close COB this Friday July 26 for our double banger of screenings & Q&A's on Monday July 29 at the SAFC Adelaide Studios theatre. 1815 for a 1830 start. Might be worthwhile RSVP'ing sooner than later as we had to close our last event, the Sam Fox studio tour, early due to so many responding so quickly. PLEASE NOTE: 2013 ACS Milli Award winner, Jo Rossiter ACS and Writer/Director Michael Cusack will screen a DCP of their highly awarded and beautifully shot, stop motion film Sleight Of Hand followed by a Q&A with both of them. Then a break for a drink & pizza followed by a look at some stunning footage from the TV series A Place to Call Home shot by Queensland DoP John Stokes ACS on the Sony F65. This will be followed by a Q&A with this very talented, yet humble ACS & ASC Award winning cinematographer. This promises to be an entertaining, inspirational and educational night so RSVP soon but make sure your dues are paid as we wouldn't want anyone to miss out due to being unfinancial. Non members $20 payable at the door but they must RSVP. For security and catering reasons RSVP is essential by CoB July 26 via the link below. If you haven't RSVP'd by the due date, apologies, but you will not be allowed into the complex. Thanks to SA branch Gold Sponsor - Kojo and Marty Pepper and also to the team at Anifex.
2013 AGMThe 2013 ASA Branch Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday August 13 @ The Toorak Burnside Lawn Bowls Club cnr Grant Ave & Giles St Toorak Gardens. Only financial Accredited, Full, Active, Life & Retired members are considered as Corporate Members and therefore are eligible to nominate for the committee or vote at the AGM. As usual we will attempt to balance the mundane with fun, so not only will there be the totally absorbing AGM and all that corporate stuff but also there will be lawn bowls (weather permitting), judging the phone-tography comp, something good to eat & drink and a general good time and a chance to catch up with influential, charming, and above average cinematographers, crew and sponsors! Who says we've got tickets on ourselves? ;-) Bowls will start at 1800 and the AGM at 1915. So RSVP now via the link below or at least before Friday 9/8/2013. Also there's a link for a map o the AGM. Note - ACS members only. Congratulations must go to SA member Tony Clark ACS partner in Rising Sun Pictures who was recently invited to join the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. Back in 2010 Tony was one of the team that were recipients of an Academy Scientific and Technical Award for cineSync, a tool for remote collaboration and review. Also congrats to the team at Epic Films who have struck up a deal with Production Company, the ABC & the SAFC to produce 6 more eps of the Wastelander Panda webisodes.

Wrap up - The Adventures of Sam Fox Studio Tour
Our Adventures of Sam Fox night quickly became fully subscribed. Sorry if you missed out, maybe you can come to our next event. 40 attended the night and Aaron did a great job running through his approach and choices for this demanding shoot which had already been filming for 90 days! He ran us through green screen, the cave set, a hut set and the large house interior/garden exterior. He was very generous passing on info of his choices of gear, crew, lighting and some of his experiences and challenges on this demanding series. They shoot a television half hour in 3.2.days! Talking about generous, many crew stayed behind to answer questions and to support Aaron so thank you to all. Special thanks to Gaffer Graeme Shelton and his team for lighting the sets, to Key grip John Smith who gave attendees a ride on his Panther dolly and Steadicam op Louis Pulli who demonstrated his rig and the rest of the camera team. All this was topped off with some fine pizza and something to wash it down.
