I am delighted to welcome Chris McQuillen to our SIG meeting on Saturday to show some of the creative ways photos, videos, and recorded sound can be put together to create compelling movies.
If you thought movie-making involved months of planning and creating a script, deciding on location and cast, working out a budget and schedule, photographing and recording sound, editing and adjusting the video, and distribution then you will be surprised to learn that many of these ‘rules’ can be thrown away.
On Saturday you will see what can be achieved, have a chance you ask questions to assist your own endeavours, and go away knowing you can do this. Start as small as you like but START.

At the Creativity SIG meeting in February 2022, we looked at presenting a selection of Photos in three ways. We used Pages on the Mac however the procedures are almost identical if using an iPad. Further, the Comic Strip version could be produced using Keynote or Numbers.

Most of us use the internet to do research on all sorts of things. Some efforts come quickly and sometimes it takes a lot longer. Why is that? Can we improve our skills? This month’s Web Intermediate presentation will explore this. We will have a look at research to help with technology issues. And we will have a look at COVID research. Fun indeed.
At the Creativity SIG on Saturday we will look at a creative way to create a Santa.
The Santa here was produced on an iPad by tracing his head, his body, his arms, and his legs.
