AV News 194 - November 2013
As video became more portable, industry changed to this format. To keep up
to date and pass on his knowledge Bob joined the Queensland Movie Makers
presenting workshops on all areas of film making and serving three years as
President.
For 26 years Bob was the video director for the Brisbane Gang Show (a
Scout and Girl Guide variety stage show) which involved producing video
recordings to project into the show. The program also required the multi
camera recording of the performance, the ultimate in audio visual production.
Upon retirement Bob joined the Aspley Camera Club in Brisbane. Within a
short time Bob's experience, passion and skill in story telling had him sharing
his audio visuals through APS and Brisbane camera clubs. Contributions
have been made through participation in Club events, PSQ interclub
competitions, APS competitions and the APS AV Folio. Bob has won a
number of national, and recently, an international award for his audio visuals.
He has also been ready to provide detailed advice and suggestions to other
members of the folio and has spread the word on the value of story-telling
through his audio visuals.
An audio visual by Bob which provides advice on the making of audio
visual sequences leads the AV Division's web pages and he has also
contributed to the website with advice on creating a commentary in an AV.
His ‘Diaporama’ AV has been shown by other APS members within their own
clubs to help promote the world of audio visuals in Australia. Bob's
contribution to the promotion of audio visual in Australia and to the
improvement of audio visual technique has been enormous, and accordingly,
he is a most worthy recipient of the APS AV Division's Audio Visual Medallion.
