Herb Bennett chaired the meeting. Bosco, Erick, Jeff, and myself enjoyed a presentation by Eric H. Leas, Videographer, of Acti-Video and DVD Productions . Acti-Video and DVd Productions does about 90 productions a year - weddings, special events, and special promotions. Eric discussed his advertising, his production, and his editing, using a brochure, a magazine, and video clips to illustrate his points.
We liked his presentation, and we hope we can hear him again - around September at his worksite in Roseville.
Errick Lorrenz asked that we think about our "The Session" script, and figure out ways to make it more visual. The script is now is almost all conversation. It needs more visual components.

Eric Lorrenz brought a version of our script that he had modified. We each assumed a part and together we acted out the new script. We made suggestions for improvement. We then adjourned.

Photographs from Night on the River, 2002
On September 28, 2002 SAMM won San Francisco Bay area inter-club film prize for Night on the River. Bob White wrote the script. Erick Lorenz provided these photographs, which can be copied, downloaded (full size), and printed. 4 by 6 photos from Club Photo are inexpensive and nice.

Erick
Lorenz gave us an outstanding talk about the do’s and don’ts of video editing
which included video examples. Unfortunately, only a few of our regular
members were present but Erick recorded the presentation on his digital
camera so that those who missed the meeting will have a chance to see his
video at some future date.

- Instead of having a separate meeting SAMM members were encouraged to attend Access Sacramento's annual award program. Erick and I did attend. Many Access Sacramento radio and television producers received awards.
April 11, 2002
- Erick Lorenz again showed us an improved "Night on the River". Bob White will submit this film in the next local film contest. We welcomed a new member, Randy Ott.
March 14, 2002
- Erick showed us the improvements he had made to "Night on the River". Especially clarifying was the special voice he used to let the main character "think out loud", so viewers can very easily understand what is happening in the film.
January 10, 2002
- We watched Erick's more perfect editing of "Night on the River", a film about the homeless, and suggested possible improvements. Erick is going to dub in some dialog at the beginning and end to improve the film's sound quality.
- We are going to have a film contest, but we will wait a while.
- Bernie mentioned that our website (http://samm.netfirms.com/) now has an email group that can be used to write all of our members. If this email group is used, afterwards the message can also be available to anyone visiting the website.
November 8, 2001
- Erick Lorenz presented his proposal that SAMM should have a film
contest. If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, click to see this

October 11, 2001
- Erick Lorenz described a clicking problem he has been having with
Final Cut Pro and the steps he has taken to solve the problem. We
discussed ways to solve his problem. He also described some of the
edits he plans to finish his project. When completed, the video will
be aired on Access Channel 73.
- Bernie Scoville explained that web site development is a never
ending cycle of improvement. One important part of this cycle is promotion
of the web site Sue White will look at Yahoo email and discussion
groups. Bernie will add some non video links, especially when they
are reciprocated.
- Erick Lorenz suggested that SAMM should have a film contest. Erick will work up an outline on this proposed film contest. Bob White will talk with Access Sacramento and some possible sponsors.
SAMM
members watch their film on the homeless at their September 13, 2001
