18th October 2024
Thirteen members chanced the warnings of flooding rain and golf ball sized hail to be present, and four more were present via zoom.
Before getting into our normal shorts, Norm tempted Geoff R and Maureen to tell us about New Zealand and the thrill (!!) of motoring across the Nullabor.
After the record breaking number of shorts last meeting, members were still recovering, and this time there were four on the topic of ghosts plus one off topic.
Norm’s ghost was a tiny spider who lived in a ghost house. But then the tiny spider hit zoom and became life threatening. Ghost Spider!
Joe went to bed reading a Kafka story and, after a nightmare fighting demons, awoke having morphed into his hidden self.
John B exposed his own guardian angel – who looked like an identical twin, and Gary D had a creepy hand emerging from the earth of a Halloween establishment threatening unimaginable horrors.
Tim gave us a ten second clip that could have led anywhere.
Believe it or not, but there are only three more club meetings until Christmas. Topics for Shorts are: The Day That Changed Everything; Shopping; Christmas Eve.
Joe reminisced on the time when a hospital at which he was working could have saved themselves twenty grand had they only listened to him. Geoff then treated us to a sight of what arguably could be the most beautiful building in the world – The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The changing formats, chosen to match the exquisite architecture, were a delight to observe.
Elizabeth then changed the atmosphere completely by showing how she edited down some archival footage from her car club into an entertaining – if hectic - few minutes, including a Royal moment. An open session then followed involving us all.
Elizabeth wanted to know which parts of this year’s program went well, and which parts didn’t go so well. Not only that, but what would the members like to see in next year’s program? Discussion was wide ranging and showed that specific ‘how to s’ from DaVinci was popular. A fifteen minute pre-normal meeting instruction period seems a possibility.
The meeting closed with some instruction on how to use Foley to improve sound in our movies.
