AV News 194 - November 2013 Jim told us that once he has produced a sequence he always saves it as a template, he explained the advantages of doing this. He also did a little tutorial on batch processing followed by, how to replace a sky in your image using the Background Eraser Tool in Photoshop. Jim had prepared these two tutorials as a handout but had not printed them off (not knowing how many would be required) but the people who wanted them added their names to a list, and they were duly sent out as an attachment. An idea for other speakers at AV Days or clubs etc. to adopt, because unless you can do shorthand notes, or you are a very quick writer, most of us come away not being able to remember it all. Richard took to the floor again for the remainder of the afternoon, showing us some of his award winning sequences, including ‘The Man Who Saw the Future’ which was appropriate and like a Homecoming, as it is about John Logie Baird. As with this one and the others we saw, Richard made comments or had a little story to tell about them all, but the time arrived all too soon for us to stop. To sum up, the day went very well running to time as planned, and by the appreciative applause from the "Shall we use this CHAD projector or the audience, Richard & Jim did us CANON that the SPF have supplied" proud. The feed back I've received has all been favourable.
