Hey guys, Matt here.

This is just a warning that Professor Beal (the guest
speaker tonight) might not be able to make it. (I
know... again).  But it is still up in the air, she
hopes she can make it, but if she can't - the
meeting's topic of "Cinematography" will be the
night's focus.  I'm hoping to bring my camera and
maybe have some activities.

Remember, if you HAVEN'T been to a meeting yet this
quarter, come tonight.  If you volunteer to do
something with the camera during the meeting - you're
second requirement to be a member will be fulfilled as
well!

See you all tonight!

-Matt

HELLO FELLOW FILMMAKERS!

Here's the update:

-LAST MEETING OF THE QUARTER THIS WEDNESDAY!!
March 10th, 8:30pm at Young 198
There will be a SPECIAL GUEST coming in to tell us her
stories about being a literary agent in the movie
industry.  Most likely, stories of people's success
and stories of people's failure.  Think about what you
want to know, and come with lots of questions.  There
will be a big Q&A section.

-FA MEMBER REQUIREMENT FULFILLMENT:  What does "last
meeting of the quarter" mean?  You guessed it.  There
are two requirements to be a member in FA.  First, you
must attend at least one FA meeting.  And Second, you
must have participated in the making of a film
(screenplays count).  If you haven't yet fulfilled the
first requirement, go to our last meeting and make
sure to sign in.  If you haven't yet fulfilled the
second, grab a pen or camera and do your thing!  IN
ORDER TO GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR YOUR WORK, YOU MUST
COMPLETE THE "PROJECT FORM" GO TO:
http://www.fafilms.homestead.com/zfilmmakingprojectsform.html
  AND SUBMIT THE INFORMATION.

-ROBOT MEDIA SHOWCASE:  Thanks for all those who came
to the showcase this Saturday.  The two FA Films that
were showed were recieved very well.  And we got a
little extra "publicity" from some other movies as
well.  ;)

-SPRING BREAK:  Spring break is coming!  It's a great
time to make films, so start planning and
collaborating now.  Maybe come up with the next "Real
Cancun".

Sincerely,
-Matthew Brewbaker, Pres.

Hello Fellow Filmmakers!

Here's the updates:

-Next FA Meeting
This Wednesday, March 3rd 8:30pm in Young 198
Topic will be:
"Getting Actors, Auditioning (preproduction)"

-GREEN SCREEN:  We are in the process of getting all
permissions and specifics for the GREEN SCREEN.  If
you want to check out the room to be painted, go to
Wright Hall and check out Room 120.  Info on the room
below (from Theatre-Dance Website):
--The flexible "black box" Arena Theatre is in room
120 Wright Hall. Arena Theatre seats 100 people on
portable audience risers, allowing the audience-stage
relationship to be changed to meet the particular
requirements of each production. The Arena Theatre has
an ETC Express lighting control console and 32 2.4K
ETC sensor dimmers.
--We estimated the green screen to be 30x17 feet -
which to paint would cost about 200 dollars.
--In addition, we were thinking about buying a smaller
roll-out blue-screen for close-up shots - approx. 100
dollars.

-ROBOT MEDIA:  Go to Robot Media!  See Student Films!
This Saturday, March 6th at 6pm in CHEM 194.  FREE.
See what kinds of films were made with the topics
"Legos" and "Vikings".


See you all at the Meeting!
Sincerely,
-Matthew Brewbaker, pres.

Hello Fellow Filmmakers!

Here's the Update:

- Have you gone to an FA meeting but have not
participated in a Film yet, and need to in order to
become a member???  Show up Friday (Today) December
5th from 7pm to 9pm at CHEM 194.  Jeff and I will hold
an "intensive" filmmaking project, where whoever
decides to come, will quickly come up with a script,
and then we will film it.  Anybody can show up!

- If you HAVE participated in a film, please email and
tell Carlos Montoya at afrshk00@... if you
havn't already done so.  Tell him the name of the
project, what you did on the project, and (briefly)
what the project is about.  Writing, Directing, Crew,
Acting, Extras, ANYTHING involving filmmaking counts.
If you are currently writing a piece, that hasn't yet
been perfected, this is fine too.  As long as you have
worked or are currently working on something.

- The HERO showcase, once again, will not be happening
today, it'll happen NEXT quarter.

- Robot Media News:  The next robot media will be
January 18th.  The deadline will be a week before the
showcase.  So make films over the holiday break!  The
two topics will be "Fried Chicken" and "Uncomfortable
moments".

-The tentative meeting time next quarter will be
Wednesday at 8:30 instead of Thursday at 8:30.

-FA website:  Just a reminder that the handouts we
distribute to each different meeting will be put onto
the website at
http://www.fafilms.homestead.com/handouts.html
Thursday's handout by Trey Parker (creator of South
Park) can be found there too.  Read it!  I found it
very inspirational.



Okay that's it for now.  Have lots of fun with your
finals and good luck with your holiday break.  (or
something like that)

MAKE FILMS!!

Sincerely,
Matthew Brewbaker, Pres.

has been postponed to next quarter.  Antoine, the
director and writer of the piece can't make it, so we
will be rescheduling it to some other time. There's a
possibility that it will be shown back to back with
"MIKeY"!  So, yay!

See you all on Thursday.

Hello Fellow Filmmakers!

Here are the updates:

-There was no meeting on Thanksgiving day... yeah, duh

-LAST MEETING of quarter
This Thursday, Dec 4th
8:30pm at Young 198
Meeting's topic will be:  Film Schools

The LAST meeting of the quarter will be this coming
one, on Thursday Dec 4th.  If you havn't come to a
meeting yet and still want to be a member, go to this
one.  It will be in Young 198 at the usual time,
8:30pm.

-The action-movie HERO showcase will be this Friday!
Writer/Director Antoine Le will be driving up from LA
to answer any questions.  If you want to see the
biggest FA film that was made last year, come and see
it!  We will also be premiering other movies that have
never been seen yet, including Julie Chow's
"Anniversary" and the two "Noir Cigs" Commercials by
Jeff Wang and Matt Brewbaker.  If you have a movie
that you would like to premiere at the showcase, a
movie that you have not yet shown at the UCD campus
(no RobotMedia films) then email back and we'll put it
in.

-  As the quarter ends, we will be tallying up all the
members of Fall quarter, 2003.  A list of members will
be put up on the website.  Remember... to qualify to
be a member, you must 1. Go to at least one meeting of
the club and 2. Participate in the making of at least
one movie.  (Doesn't have to be your own nor does it
have to be an FA film to qualify).  We keep attendance
at our meetings.  But we rely on you guys to tell us
about the films you've been involved in.  All
attendance questions should go to the secretary,
Steven Wong, and all movie participation questions
should go to VP of Production, Carlos Montoya.

-If you havn't had the chance to participate in a
film, either make a quick one starring your pet
hamster.  Or stay tuned, we may have a film intensive
this next weekend or sometime where we go out and film
for two hours, making a short but quick movie for
those who need the credit to be a member.

-Once again, if you would like to participate in the
HERO showcase, then reply back and say so.  We still
need a few more people so please help!


Remember to think about filmmaking whenever you have
free time on this long weekend!

Sincerely,
-Matthew Brewbaker, President

Hello Filmmaking Enthusiasts!

First of all, I would like to appologize if any of you
read the website's info and showed up on Wednesday
instead of Thursday for the meeting.  I promise I
won't make another mistake like that again.

OK, here are the updates:

-Meetings have been voted to be every Thursday at
8:30pm in Young 198... Next Meeting is Thursday
November 6th at 8:30pm in Young 198 - the Weekly Topic
will be *Editing*.

-Make sure to join FAcommunity and FAdiscuss at...
respectively:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FAcommunity
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FAdiscuss

-It has become inefficient to have our list serve run
out of our Yahoo!Mail account.  We will be in the
process of transferring your names to FAupdates
Yahoo!Group.  To join this list-serve (which obviously
you guys don't need to do) one must either  1.  email
filmmakersambitions@... and ask to be put on or
2. go to groups.yahoo.com/group/FAupdates and join
directly

-At the meeting last night, we had some technical
difficulties and couldn't provide the document "100
Easy steps to getting started with FA"  attached is
that Document.  Please take the time to read it.

-The first FAactivity will be "Bowling Night" proposed
to be Friday, November 14th at 7pm.  We will showcase
a bowling movie  (most likely either "Bowling for
Columbine, The big Lebowski or Kingpin)  After which,
we will go bowling in the MU.

-Robot Media (www.robotmedia.com/davis) will be
accepting films that fall under the topics "Perfect
World" and "Soliciting" until November 17th.  All
films must be under 5 minutes.  So make films for the
showcase, which will be showcased November 22nd.



All right, that's it!  Enjoy the weekend - and if you
have time, make films!!

Sincerely,
Matt Brewbaker, President

Hello Filmmaking Enthusiasts!

This is just a quick update as to what's happening
with FA for the new School Year.


-Flyering has begun!  Look for our flyers around
campus - they should be distributed fully by monday
afternoon.  If you see other flyers on top of ours,
rip them off.  :)

-If you would like to be involved in chalking, we will
be doing that scatteredly within the next two weeks.
Please email Julie at jichow@....

-Visit our booth at the Activities Faire!  This Wed.
Oct. 15th from 10-2pm we will have a booth out on the
Quad.  Tell anybody who's interested in the club to
see us there.  And if you're bored, come visit.

- Info night(s) are tentatively planned to be on Oct.
22nd and Oct. 23rd at 8:30.  (location not yet known).
  These info nights are particularly for those who want
to know information about FA before they start
attending meetings.  But returnees are totally
welcome.

-There seems to be a general concensus that Wednesday
nights will be the nights that FA will have the weekly
meetings.  This is tentative, though.

-Other filmmaking things:  Robot Media will have it's
info-night/showcase on Oct. 15th at 8:30pm in Haring
2205.  Robot Media is a movie-making showcase, that
accepts student movies that fall under two given
topics.  The showcase in November will showcase the
two topics "solicitation," and "perfect-life".  The
info-night will showcase some that were made last
year.

Sincerely,
-Matthew Brewbaker, president.

What's up?

How was your summer? Did you get to make any movies or
at least see any good ones? It's a new year, it's hot
as heck, and the freshmen look like middle school
students... Hopefully your classes are going well and
you don't have too much homework 'cause it's the
perfect time to start making movies.

Soon enough, we'll be having our first FA meeting
where we'll discuss what will be happening with the
club in this next year and, most importantly, get each
other's movies off the ground. I'll keep you updated -
have fun.

Sincerely,
Jeff Wang

  Hello everyone,


This last Saturday FA had an Info Night for
prospective members. We had a small turnout but those
who showed up got to know the officers pretty well.
For those of you who weren't able to attend, here are
some of the things we talked about:


The Officers:
Matt Brewbaker
Antoine Le
Daniel Leighton
Elizabeth Upton
Jameeley Pineda
Jeff Wang


Each officer introduced her/himself and showed clips
of their work.


Past and Upcoming Projects (can be viewed on website)


Mission Statement: The purpose of "Filmmakers'
Ambitions" is to teach the business and art of
filmmaking, while establishing a network between
student filmmakers here at University of California,
Davis. This organization is made possible for those
interested in pursuing filmmaking as a career in both
Industry and Independent film.


Requirements:
1) Be involved in some behind-the-scenes role in at
least one project per quarter,
2) Be considering filmmaking as a career


What to expect:
FA will facilitate as a network for members to find
the resources to make their films. At regular meetings
(which will be either weekly or bimonthly), people will
give updates on how their projects are shaping up,
what kind of assistance they need, what they hope to
do, etc. At this point, those who are willing to
assist can exchange phone numbers, etc.


Matt is also proposing to create Filmmakers' Ambitions
Actors Association (FAAA), which will be online, where
actors can post their resumes, photos and contact info
if finding performers is ever a problem for FA
members.


Screenplays and/or other material pertaining to future
projects can be posted on the website for other people
to view. Just send an email with your attachment and
we'll put it up.


Equipment:
Matt and Elizabeth both have cameras but will also be
using them on their own projects. A resource is the
theater department; they have lights, cameras and
sound mikes. If you're interested in using this
equipment, ask Matt, who will get it for you.


Film Studies Minor:
The Film Studies Minor only requires that you take 6
classes - Humanities 10 and 5 upper division. There
are 6-8 classes offered each quarter that will fulfill
the requirement. I'm the peer advisor so please send
me an email at jcswang@... if you'd like to
find out more or if you'd like a curriculum sheet of
what classes will work for the minor.




Thanks a lot to those who attended; we know there's a
lot of you who weren't able to make it and hopefully
we'll see you next time. Don't hesitate if you have
any questions. Hope you all had a nice weekend.


Jeff
