Australian Media Museum - NSW

Can You Help?

 

An enthusiastic group of ex radio, film and television professionals, some retired, some still working, are keenly interested in setting up a working museum dedicated to our industry.

 

Currently we have a large collection of equipment, much of which would otherwise have ended up as scrap metal. 

 

Our collection includes:

 

·    Film cameras from 1900, to modern day broadcast TV cameras

·    4 – 6 – 8 plate flat bed film editors, Moviolas

·    Rank Cintel Mark III Digiscan

·    Huge collection of lighting

·    Mole Richardson camera crane

·    All formats of video tape recorders

·    Vision mixers

And much more!

 

The intention is to create a working, hands on film / television studio, which will be open to the public, and will be operated by retired and working volunteers.

We Need

·      A large, accessible storage space  - we have run out of space!

·      Items to add to the collection!

·      Your expertise and enthusiasm to join our group!

 

We are associated with AMMPT http://www.ammpt.asn.au/ started in Western Australia 6 years ago.  Other states are following suit.  The Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne is an excellent example of what can be achieved http://www.acmi.net.au.

 

Time is running out for NSW.  If you can assist in any capacity, or would like further information, contact:
