Minutes: 16th September 2009

Maddrim Meeting
16th September 2009

Present (in order of fact game!): Ceidiog, Chole, Eilidh, Joe, Keith, Ray, Chris, Susan, Mathew, Freya, Willem, Martin, Jenna

Business

First of all, we played the fact game (hoorah!). We learned a lot about each other. For example, Ceidiog had pizza for his breakfast (FREAK). Martin introduced us to himself (for those new dudes) and then introduced us to Jenna the new Martin! (Which signals that media club is coming up to it’s FOURTH year?!??)

Chris told us all about memberships and the perks of a platinum membership. Everyone took home membership packs except Eilidh who I forgot to give one to at the bus stop.

Then we moved on to the fun things!

Pleasure

The evening was a bit of a test run, to see how a brief filmmaking workshop would pan out as we plan to have a large one on Wednesday the 30th of September. We split into two groups to make films based around the common theme ‘rolls’.

Group 1 (Willem, Joe, Mathew, Eilidh, Ceidiog and Keith) made a film that involved a roll with a hole. I didn’t see anything else. Maybe these minutes will be edited in the near future? Who knows!

Group 2 (Chris, Chole, Susan, Ray and Freya) made a riveting tale of love, rolls, rings, robbing and many other snazzy sounding words.

It was decided that these films would be put on the new “CrapMaddrim” YouTube page (the unofficial poor movies one...) and you can view them soon for your pleasure. Remember that they are not designed to be high quality...

Everyone agreed that the workshop went well and will be better with more cameras, more time and more props. No major changes planned for the big one.

Upcoming

The next meeting for Maddrim is on Wednesday the 30th of September from 6-9 in Room 9 in Iselsburgh. Tell your friends! And enemies! Tell everyone! Before then Chris is going to Anderson High to play films at lunchtimes in the WOW (I am told it must be spelt with only capitals) on Friday the 25th and Monday the 28th of September. He will also get some posters made up and distributed. Good work Chris! He’s the man.
