A FULL DAY OF FILMMAKING FUN! Join Pro Moviemaker in our creative 24-hour challenge from 3-4 June in historic Cambridge
I f you want a creative challenge alongside like-minded image makers that’s fun and rewarding, then join us in a unique 24-hour event called Photo Video 24 from 3-4 June in the beautiful city of Cambridge. Formerly Photo 24, the event has been rechristened to reflect the massive increase in hybrid content creation. It’s open to photographers, filmmakers – and fans of both. We’ll be based at the boutique Graduate hotel in the heart of Cambridge city centre, on the banks of the River Cam – which is bound to be filled with eager punters. It’s within easy walking distance of many of the main attractions and will also be a hive of activity itself throughout the weekend. Event sponsor MPB will be hosting a series of workshop sessions, plus you’ll have the chance to get your kit valued or hire some equipment. There’s a plethora of things to shoot and many an opportunity to learn from experts. Highlights include guided walks, each showcasing a particular location or type of architecture, plus we’ll have street workshops for those hoping to hone their urban skills. Walks will be arranged around sunrise and sunset, too, so you can make the most of the light. You can climb high above the city to get a bird’s-eye view of the astonishing architecture in one of the walks, or make
great natural landscapes in Grantchester, accompanied by an award-winning photographer and filmmaker. There’s a visit to nearby IWM Duxford for a themed portrait shoot with a Hawker Hurricane and model, chances to capture the Cambridge University Boat Club on a morning training session, Shakespearean actors treading the boards in dress rehearsals and lots more. You have to register to attend, but places are limited so make sure to do this soon – it’s first come, first served. Head to promoviemaker.net and follow the link to our Eventbrite page, where you’ll be able to book your place as well as sign up for various activities throughout the day. There’s a range of free and paid-for events over the 24-hour period to help you make the most of your time in the city. There will be awards for the best photos and movie shorts taken at the event, plus various fun challenges throughout the day and night! Everyone who comes will get a passport with tips, guides and challenges, plus if you complete the full 24 hours, we’ll give you a memento to remember your day. The Pro Moviemaker magazine team will be joined by the entire Photography News staff, along with members of the MPB team, to ensure you have a day to remember. Sign up now and we look forward to seeing you in June.
