buffalo filmFree Buffalo Event - Annual Filmmaker Holiday Party - Buffalo Movie and Video Makers


This month we focus on the socializing aspect of the filmmaking club!
The first half of the meeting we’ll announce the winners of last month's BM-VM "Shorty" Film Contest. These were the four entries:
  • A TRAILER by Leo Medico, Jr.
  • BLUNT RECOLLECTION by Curt Markham
  • ENLIGHTENMENT by David Gaffney
  • THE MAGIC ROOM by Terry Kimmel

We'll find out which were the top three vote-getters from last month's secret ballot. The First Place winner will be awarded a plaque, with the Second and Third Place finishers receiving certificates. Also, we'll re-screen the First Place winning entry.


Second half is the HOLIDAY PARTY! 



 BM-VM members are invited to bring a "finger food”-type dish to pass (nothing that requires heating up, though). Also, they can chip in on pizza. Guests are invited!
BM-VM President (and host!) David Gaffney will also run the White Elephant gift exchange. If you would like to participate, simply bring a gift! Suggested price range: $10.
Hope to see you there!

NOTE: Meeting will start at 7:20 sharp. Doors open at 7:00 pm.
Opening 5 minutes will be devoted to short announcements from the President and the group.
If you have any detailed announcements, it’s suggested bringing some handouts that explain things more in detail (including contact information). Thanks!

Visitors are welcome! Admission is free!
Drinks available for purchase at the snack bar.

On the 3rd Monday of every month we meet as a club to pursue the common goal of being a community of filmmakers.

Location: Amherst, NY, USA

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap.  Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature.
