"Ian, you're going to help a lot of people! You've created a very useful tool that will get every video newbie up and operating immediately. Your book tells people 'how to' in plain language and with very large illustrative pictures (a bonus for us visual folk!) And the video tutorials that accompany your book give very detailed 'watch and learn' clips that are priceless. Thanks for allowing me to share with my members!"

Movie Gallery

Hi, and welcome to our movie gallery. You can view any of the movies by clicking on the picture for that movie, or you can right-click on the picture, and by selecting the Save Target As option you can save the movie to your computer to watch later.

USERNAME AND PASSWORD - these movies can be freely viewed by all subscribers to "Better Movie Making Monthly", our FREE movie-making hints and tips ezine. If you do not have a password for these movies, you can get one by filling in our simple opt-in form on the left of this page. You will be emailed a username and password straight away.

TIP: You can download the files and play them in many different media players. Windows Media Player is good to use, as it can begin playing the movie while still downloading it. If Windows Media Player does not open automatically and begin playing the file, open it via your Start button, and go to All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Windows Media Player. Under the Tools menu in Media Player, click Options. Select the File Types tab, and put a tick in the Windows Media Video file (wmv) box. Click Apply, then OK. 

Now when you click on one of the movies, Media Player will open, ask for your username and password and then start to play the movie as soon as it has downloaded enough of the file to commence playing.

This first movie is my first ever editing work.  We took Marty's camera to the beach along with sandboards and beer.  This is the result.

Northbridge is the main entertainment area in Perth.  This video is inspired by the credits for "The Sopranos".  Filmed by myself, Marty and Laura.  Edited by Marty.

Marty's earlier movies were what got me interested in both movie-making and skydiving.  Here's why.

My first skydive was filmed by cameraman Andy at York, near Perth, and additional footage was taken by Marty.  Further jumps filmed by various camera people.  Editing by myself.

My wife Laura made this movie, which shows Perth in a better light than the seedier Northbridge movie.

This is another of Laura's movies, using speeded up footage.  Compression spoils this a little, but it is still very effective.

This is one of my favourites, from my snowboarding trip in 2004.  The resort is Mount Hotham in the Victorian Alps, north of Melbourne.

We went go-kart racing on a rainy evening, so the footage is a bit dark.  I was very pleased with the editing in this movie.

This is another one of Laura's movies, and is a montage of scenes of friends and activities.

The final movie here is a short edit of Marty's dog Baxter on a trip to the beach.  This was made to go with "The Complete Guide To Better Movie Making", to show movie editing in action.  It comes complete with raw footage that the movie was created from, and a set of step-by-step video tutorials.  See more details at www.BetterMovieMaking.com
