19th June 2008 : Drinks of Anguish
" Getting all the actors and crew to work on hard shots beforehand really helps, and is really noticeable when you start the shoot. Great times."
Juan David Lopez, United States of America
22nd May 2008 : APA Wedding in Tasmania
Eight APA guests joined Gordie and Anna for their wedding in historic Richmond, Tasmania. The backdrop was Australia's oldest bridge, Richmond Bridge. The weather was glorious and the ceremony lovely. Anna looked beautiful and was given away by dapper Darren, who gave a most amusing speech at the reception. Gordie, who couldn't stop smiling all day, looked most dashing. Romy was one of the bridesmaids and looked lovely in her blue dress and Rohan, who was Maid of Honor !! , looked very debonair. It was a special day enjoyed by everyone present. We all wish Gordie and Anna every happiness in their life together.
Congratulations also to Adam and Lara, also APA graduates, who were married at Observatory Hill, Sydney, the same day.
19th March 2008 : News from 2007 Graduates
The last month has gone in a flash and it's hard to believe that our new students are now into their 5th week!
We have also had news from a lot of our 2007 graduates who we are featuring in crew shots this time. Ben has started with his TV channel, Ellinor is working in the camera department for a company in Sweden and Flo is very busy getting his documentary together. Having taken a large proportion of last year's graduates with him down to Victoria to shoot a short there, James is now Production Manager on a low budget feature here in Sydney. Andrew is also on the same shoot and we are waiting to hear more about it. Romila has an internship with Working Title and we hear Chris Bland is very busy freelancing. Bodin was successful in getting into uni and as far as we know Mitch is working for a TV channel. Going back a year or two Lyndall is now head Editor on a new TV series and Rohan is Production Manager. We hope to get more details when they have a spare moment.
7th February 2008 : Romance is in the Air !!!
It's official - Gordon and Anna are getting married in April ! It's so nice to have an "APA" wedding and quite a number of graduates will be travelling to Tasmania to attend it, so we will have lots of great photos for WATN early May. Specialising in Cinematography and Sound respectively, with excellent camera and production skills, Gordie and Anna will make a great team professionally as well as personally.
Other news has come through from Pedro (Spain) and he has sent us the poster for his documentary that has been shown by the national TV station and won awards. Ben , who graduated in December, has let us know he has a job in a TV station, and Roberto (Colombia) emailed to say that he has started his own production company which is doing very well. We will be putting full news up in WATN very shortly.
At APA itself, things are coming to life after the long summer break. Second year students returned this Monday and shot their first production today so it's off we go again for another exciting year !
