| Time to RSVP to Legal Issues & D.A.V.E.OK it's time to RSVP to our trade night on March 23 @ Anifex starting @ 1830. This night has two disparate subjects, we'll start with D.A.V.E. and then onto Legals. So have you ever wondered am I allowed to film that thing in the street, or that thing or person I can clearly see over the fence? Can I put my tripod wherever I like and point my camera at whatever I want? Can I use the footage I film in any film I choose? There are so many ?'s and therefore we have recruited the expertise of law firm HWLebsworth and media specialist Anna Jackson who will share her knowledge and experience with our members. BTW Peter Campbell cannot attend due to other commitments. This promises to be a most informative night so RSVP so we can cater properly (there'll be a bit of pizza and drinks supplied to keep you going) :-) and also prepare some questions so that you can get satisfactory answers! RSVP now to presidentsa@austcine.org.au Onto D.A.V.E.! What is D.A.V.E.? Well it stands for Duplicate And Verify Everything! Check it out at www.daveoneset.com.au More about D.A.V.E.The SA debut for D.A.V.E. mobile DIT workstation was on the recent SA feature A Month Of Sundays. What does D.A.V.E. do? 3:2:2. Camera and Audio Data backup to 3 copies, held in 2 locations and ideally, on 2 types of media. Verified and safely stored. Sounds pretty straight forward.....doesn't it!? But image and audio quality assurance and reporting are far less cut and dried. Data wrangling alone cant provide DOPs, Editors and Producers with the care and feedback offered by labs and post houses in the past. On the upside, the technology is here to do just that, on location and almost immediately. SA ACS member, Dave Birrell, saw an opportunity to replace what weve lost in the shift from film and has launched Duplicate And Verify Everything (D.A.V.E.) to provide on-set media backup, useful feedback and a quality viewing facility to review shots as needed. So come along to Anifex on March 23 starting @ 1830 and check out this impressive set-up. Don't forget to RSVP! presidentsa@austcine.org.au BTW The ACS National awards in May at Mona in Hobart on May 2 are booked out so sorry if you did not get in early.

EXTENDING A HELPING HAND When first assistant director and associate producer Philip Hearnshaw passed away in 2012, his wife Catherine Griff received assistance from the Motion Picture Industry Benevolent Society (MPIBS) an organisation she had previously never heard of. In fact, it has been doing its discreet best since 1931. According to Griff, her husband gave an enormous amount to the industry; he was always helping out people that were new she said. So it felt right the industry in turn cared enough about him to offer us help. The MPIBS assisted Griff and her teenage son with funeral expenses and would periodically send small amounts of money to help with bills: the amounts are not very big, but the gesture is very important. Having little dollops to help with electricity or phone bills ... I just cannot emphasize how much it did help. Griff is careful to note that any assistance received is not necessarily ongoing. Youre not asking for long term help. The MPIBS are seeking to help you in the short term she said. The original crisis period is where the assistance is really important and help also came from Kennedy Miller Mitchell, who were incredibly generous. Encouraging other organisations to donate to the fund, Griff said it would make a huge difference to their corporate image by donating to the MPIBS. To donate, please visit our website for more information. Looking for a great gift?Why not buy a framed picture from our Freeze Frame Exhibition. There are 50 great stills taken by our members.
