EMUP welcomes film makers
Photography and videography are closely linked subjects. At EMUP we welcome film makers to offer their experiences, challenges and to show off their work.
The art of the film maker has many facets that are unique when comparing to the stills world. The art of delivering the story is also a million miles from the printed image. At EMUP we hope likeminded film makers can meet and learn from one another.
EMUP aims to have two of its eight monthly meetings dedicated to the art of film making. So if you are an experienced film maker, beginner, or thinking of taking this route then we hope EMUP offers you what you want.
What is EMUP
There is a lot that a budding photographer can learn from books, such as Martin Edge's excellent book, and the internet (wetpixel and Digigreen). But in my opinion, my own photographic ability took a huge leap forward after meeting fellow underwater photographers and topside photographers in my local camera club. The ability to ask questions like "how did you do that" allowed me to learn rapidly.
So I joined BSoUP and considered joinging NUPG and BUPG, but geographically my location (Nottingham) made attending meetings very difficult. So I thought it was time to have something locally.
EMUP needs to be inclusive of everyone and not an exclusive club where f-numbers and stops are a required language. We hope to attract new comers to underwater photography and to help them develop, give a forum where experienced photographers can pass on their knowledge, and to make an interesting evening where non-divers and general divers can enjoy interesting talk about the underwater world.
