Wednesday 19th December: filming!
On Wednesday the 19th of December, in our usual 7:30-9:30pm session, we will be rounding off the year by doing a bit of filming! The project will be to produce a newer and more up-to-date promotional video for Liverpool HEMA, showcasing what club members can do.
The brief is simple: pick a partner, and showcase something you learned during the last year that will look cool on film! It would be ideal to have several short 5- or 10-second clips that show a variety of different techniques and people. Come along and do some unstructured, unguided practice, and help contribute to the club’s promotional materials!
Needless to say, please do make an effort to come wearing club uniform: black trousers, blue shirt.
Wednesday 26th December: closed
I’m sure people would like an opportunity to sleep off Christmas.
Wednesday 2nd January: closed
I’m sure people would like an opportunity to sleep off the New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Wednesday 9th January: back on again!
We’ll start our practices again on the 9th of January, at the usual place, at the usual time.
