Awesome Work Everyone

All,

I hope you all are proud of yourselves. Not only did you all do an awesome job on Sunday's service, which by the way is edited and rendering as a type, but you all showed up last night and did an even greater job. :0D (big smile happy face).

Everyone is complimenting DFCC Productions and the amazing job you all did. You all ROCK. From audio to video and presentation, everything worked great. Shout outs to all of y'all who pulled double duty yesterday. :0)

Housekeeping. Our Christmas/Holiday Party for DFCC Productions is in 5 days. I've received a few of everyone's $10 for the Famous Dave's catering. Please remember to RSVP ASAP, I will need it by Wed. so as to order our platter's from Famous Dave's. Hmmmmmmm cornbread bisquits hmmmmmmm.

No gift exchange :0( (sad face), wasn't able to get it done in time. Please remember, WEDNESDAY is the deadline for RSVP and your portion of your/and/or your guest's Famous Dave's ($10 bones).

I'll keep reminding you all between now and Wed. Talk to you all soon.

2009 DFCC Productions Christmas Party Rescheduling

All,

Just wanted to send a post out to you concerning the rescheduling of our Christmas Party until next week. I'm afraid there was so much going on this weekend and I found it necessary to move it back on week. We are still on though.

Famous Dave's is catering, please bring your $10 to church tomorrow. If you are bringing a significant other, please bring their portion as well. Also, I would love to do a gift exchange, but let's put it off this year. :0(. I know, sad face. I know, I've become Scrooge. Sorry guys, couldn't organize it properly.

Lastly, I should have everyone's polo size by now. If I don't please give to me tomorrow. I will need to submit it sometime next week or the following. Probably after the holidays, but none the less I need your sizes :0) We will start wearing our uniform shortly, but until then, black top and kakis, except dress down. Go for it, and chill the way you best like to express yourself, but business casual is preferred. :0)

Thank you guys for an awesome job. You all ROCK.

See you tomorrow and go Red.

Adrian

2009 DFCC Productions Christmas Party Is On

Ok, by now everyone should have gotten their evite by email. This is the email that I have on file from you all. Please check your spam or junk folder in case you didn't receive it. We should be finalizing everything by this week so please keep an eye out for everything party related. I have received responses about yes to Dave's and yes to gift exchange. Haven't received a nay yet, but still keeping options open.

If it's decided for catering and exchange, we should finalize by tomorrow. Again, sorry for the late start on planning this everyone. Kinda caught me off guard.

Alright, talk to you all soon.

Media Staff Christmas Party :0) Dec. 19th

Everyone,

Hope you all are doing great. Alright, got several reply's about the party. It's a go for Dec 19th. I'm assuming about 6ish or so. However, I'll update you all on that later. Now about gift exchange. Do we want a gift exchange? Also, do we want to cater or Pot Luck. Last year was a blast, I think so. Food was great, of course it was Famous Dave's hmmmmm. ribs....... oh and bread muffins

If we do - do a gift exchange, my gift buddy's limit is $250 everyone else is $20. what do you think. :0) (joke is heavily implied here. really...) .... really Anyone else have an idea on this?

However, I really do like the Famous Dave's again, because BBQ ribs for a Christmas party is def. a Texas Christmas Party ya'll. and the corn bread muffins. .... hmmm wow, those are like the bomb. hmmmmmm..... can't get over them. wow, i'm hungry now.

Ok, guys, everything will be finalized by Wed. So, we do need to hurry. I, will try and set up an evite for those that will be attending. I should send out today.

Talk to you soon.

Adrian

Quick post and would like immediate response concerning our Media Christmas Party. We're thinking Sat, Dec. 19th. I'm afraid I got a late start on planning our Christmas Party. However, let me know what you all think.

Also, do you all want to cater it like we did last year? As well as a gift exchange? I think it would be fun. Let me know ASAP. Hopefully, before the end of today.

Thanks.

Adrian

Weekly Post for 11 23 09

All, hope everyone is doing awesome this week. I wanted to thank Blue Team for an awesome job this past week. We have all been pulled in diff. directions this past week. From the Gala to the food giveaway, it's been a very busy week. I and all the congregation appreciate not only Blue Team, but everyone's hard work. You guys ROCK :0)

Not sure, if you all knew this, but we have 5th Sunday coming up. This is the last 5th Sunday of the year. Yay. hmmm, so well, last 5th Sunday it was Red Team's Sunday. Sooooo hmmmm, this Sunday is BLUE TEAM's YAY. As if you all didn't work hard enough this past Sunday. See you guys this Sunday bright eyed and bushy tailed :0)

I want to also thank all those who have used planning center online. Isn't it cool. Will has used it to let me know he will be out of town mid to late Dec. If we all get on it, I'm sure it will be an asset for us. More later...

Adrian

This is the video for tomorrow!

Tell me what you think this is for tomorrow!

Planning Center Online

All, just wanted to touch base concerning our new planning center online solution for planning and service presentation. Please look at the site below:

https://www.planningcenteronline.com/

You should be receiving an email that looks like this:

You will need to accept to view the service. Press accept then you should be able to view the service. I will be emailing everyone the general log in information. By the end of the week. Those who have already received the above email, that means you all are scheduled for this coming week. i.e. red team should have received this email. Well more on this later. I'll blog more this week.

Adrian

Love The Uniform

Love the uniform!

Good Morning everyone. Hope you all are doing great. Wanted to thank Red Team last week for the awesome job you all did. Kudos to you. Wanted to give you a heads up on a couple of new items

1. We will begin wearing polos shortly. Black polos, cause we're cool like dat. However, I believe I need to get polo sizes from you everyone shortly. I'll have a sign up list on Sunday or hopefully tonight. Meanwhile, we need everyone to begin wearing black tops and kakis "a la t d jakes event, 'member?" Besides, we'll look cool, so we'll begin wearing black tops this weekend, k.
2. If you all haven't visited or signed up to www.planningcenteronline.com it's time to do so. We will begin using this service planning exclusively for media only during the month of Dec. One can say that we are the guinea pigs here, but I think, we're the perfect group. Early adopters and open to new technologies. Hmmm, i digress, I think choir and praise team are also guinea pigs, errrr early adopters. Well, as previous emails have mentioned, this new online service will allow us to plan for service appropriately. We will be emailing everyone who is on and possible even txting directly from the website. While we fully implement this service, I will still be emailing and txting reminders to you. :0) yay.
3. We have a new digital audio board in our sound room. Way cool. The audio team has done an awesome job setting it up. Thanks audio dudes and dudettes.

Ok, that's it for today, remember blue team you all are on this coming week. Go blue and tonight Red Team is on (new team members only - you know who you are. :0)) Service begins at 7:00, but would like you all to be there by 6:30 to go over some details. See you tonight.

Adrian

Chicano Job

Pos you gotta do what chu gotta do ay!....!

Check This Out!!!!

Guys you guys have to check out this link.......Campos turned me on to this and its awsome!!!!!!

http://www.marshillchurch.org/

Red team rocked yesterday. I appreciate you all. Thanks for all your help. Remember, New Red Team Members. You all are NOT, working this Wednesday night. Go out and enjoy Joyce Meyers at ALFC. So, just reminding you all. :0) Blue Team you all are on next Wednesday.

Announcement Team, we will be having some welcomed additions to our announcer position on DFCC News. How cool huh. More info and scheduled announcers to be recorded during 2nd service will be coming soon. I'll email everyone on that as well as post here later.

Audio Team Rocks. Not sure if you all noticed, but we don't have 20 lead singers any more in the choir. We now have a choir and one or two leads. How awesome and controlled environment that is. Explanation: we used to have, like 10 mics on stage, but now only have three condenser mics as well as a few hanging choir mics. They choir/praise team now can balance themselves singing, as a choir should do, and not have the audio team running around like a chicken without it's head, every Sunday Service.

Kudos to the Audio Team for making that happen. I noticed a significant improvement in sound. I'm sure it's only going to get better. Also, the sound room is getting a new digital mixer this Friday, for the whole complex and audio for video, and will hopefully set this mixer up sometime there after. We will now be able to record individual tracks directly to our mac in the sound room and splice edit and overall improve the audio before we burn a cd or upload to iTunes. Just wanted to give you all the good news.

Video, we will soon have an additional tripod, so we won't have to be using mine any more. YAY. Along with this new tripod, my hope is to set up our camera 2 to be stationary and allow us to get better tighter shots. We might even be hooking up this camera two our switcher for live switching during service. How do you like that presentation team :0)

Like I said, quick post. I'll post more this week.

Adrian

Everyone,

Hope you all are doing great. Getting some info. into your hands. First of all thanks Red Team for an awesome Sunday Service. I also want to remind all New Red Team Members, you all will be working this Wednesday nights bible study. Everyone from camera, to presentation to audio. You attendance is requested to finish up your training. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Some updates:

We are hoping to implement www.planningcenteronline.com By now, most of you all have received a welcome email from this address. This online service will allow us to plan our service, campus wide. Meaning, we will be able to see what the choir, praise team, band, production team, etc.. is doing. It will also allow DFCC Productions to plan accordingly for special events and regular duties. It's looking like a great solution. More on this later, but you should be receiving updates from planning center or dfcc soon. So keep an eye out.

We have received both Video and Audio from T D Jakes Friday Event. Audio will be made available in the bookstore beginning as early as this Wednesday Night.

REMEMBER NEW RED TEAM VOLUNTEERS. YOU ALL ARE WORKING THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. I'll be at the church at 6:00 PM, but you all should be there by 6:30. See you then.

Adrian

Everyone, hope you all are doing great. Wanted to bring everyone up to speed on further training for our staff. As many of you all know, we will be continuing our training for our new volunteers. This training will consist of actual practice during a service. However, this will not be a live Sunday service but a live Wednesday Night Bible Study.

We will continue to do everything we normally do during Sunday Services, but on Wednesday nights. Or rather, our new volunteers, will continue to do everything the senior volunteers do during Sunday Mornings.

EVERYONE, it's important we present and hold a spirit of excellence in our lives. Such a spirit will only produce excellence in all we do, to include the commitment we have been charged with as members of the media ministry. I strongly believe that we can all excel in our media ministry. We have taken our broadcast and in service presentation to a new level over the past couple of years and now are expected to continue that growth to greater heights.

It has been said that "practice makes perfect" and because our new team members need much practice and we can't afford to have anyone learn from their mistakes on Sunday Morning. We're

learning from our mistakes on Wednesday Night. Which has been approved by Bishop. That being said: Happy Learning Staff :0)

We will run our Wednesday night assignments like our regular Sunday assignments, Meaning: 1,2,3,4, & 5th wednesday will be run by our red and blue teams alternating schedules

. I will try and post up those schedules some time today or Wednesday. However, the first Wednesday of Oct. is our beginning month for practice and red team will be on. then blue, etc...

Will have more info soon. Talk to you all later.

WE NEED ORGANIZATION NOW!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A WEEK

So now that we know exacly what it that we need and want now its time to let people know.........even though I do believe that after friday night there were alot of visions being set forth.......Loved it was really nice cant wait for some sleep!

Everyone, awesome work this past Sunday. Great job red team. Want to remind you that you all are on again this coming Sunday (last Sunday was your 5th Sunday). The come so often don't they? Great job everyone, broadcast looks awesome and should be some time today or next week, but you all can get a look at it this weekend during the television broadcast itself

I received about 8 volunteers giving their "I'm available to work during the PHIPA Conference, and get into the TD JAKES event on Friday earlier than most and avoid long lines pass" So you all are set. I'll be forwarding those dates I will need you all shortly. Please give me until tomorrow to get that info to you.

Email or call if you have any questions. Otherwise, see you all this Sunday.

Just finished editing this past Sunday's broadcast. Looks great everyone. You all are doing an awesome job. :0) Have information concerning the PHIPA Conference as well as T D Jakes' event at ALFC.

First, the PHIPA Conference. Our media team has been requested to provide video footage of the main conferences in the sanctuary as well as audio recording of the like. We will be needing the following for 9.16.09-9.19.09:

two cameras working the sanctuary

audio recording in sound room

audio work on main sanctuary board

duplication of CD's as well as archiving of master audio files and duplicates of masters

for the following dates and times:

thursday: 9.17.09 - 2:0-5:00 pm

friday: most of the day except for the jakes evening event

saturday: 9.19.09 - 10:00-12:00 PM

That's it. Not much huh. Just we actually do on Sunday's :0) But for a few days in a row. So this is what I need:

I would like the team to volunteer where you are available. I have already received word from a couple of team members that will be taking the days off to help out. Not only will we be serving a greater cause, but can also listen in on the conference and be fed, while working (spiritually), although snacks will be provided as well.

Those who volunteer during this event will be given the opportunity to "shadow" ALFC Media Staff during the Jake's evening event. Now, by shadow, I use that term kinda loosely, as not sure to what extent we will be shadowing, but will have more info on that after I speak with our Pastorship and the ALFC Media people. However, this opportunity comes with a "pass", allowing us to attend the evening event earlier and avoiding the foreseen long lines. hmmmmmm, that sounds cool.

Kind of a good deal huh. Well, please email me if you are interested in working during the PHIPA conference. I need to turn in these names ASAP. Talk to you soon.

Adrian

Quick Post

I wanted to commend everyone for their dynamic performance yesterday. Everything went extremely well, no bumps, hick ups or the like. ;0) . So give yourselves a pat on back. Yay.

I've been asked about Bishop Jakes' event. I got more info. and will divulge as soon as I get confirmation on a couple of items. This should happen today. Good news, I hope. Talk to you soon.

DFCC Production Assignments as of 8.19.09

Everyone, as mentioned earlier. Below are your assignments for Teams, Subgroups and even services as per your Subgroup Leaders. They are in a .png that can be viewed larger if you click on it. Please look it over. I updated all teams, subgroups and your service to be shadowed. New team members have been appointed a shadowing day, where you will be shadowing a veteran team member. If you have any questions on this form you can email me at adrian.campos@destiny4me.com or call me at 755.7744, however, my cell is the best place to get a hold of me (915.875.6410) you can txt me as well. Talk to you soon.

You will notice that it is sorted by Team/Subgroup/Last Name/First Name. Enjoy :0)

Just a quick post. Hope everyone is doing great. I'll be posting up final team assignments here on the blog in the next couple of days. Also, will be posting up those new volunteers who will be training during both services on Sundays. In an effort to have you all visit the blog and post, I will probably only be posting those assignments on the blog, so you will need to visit the blog to view those assignments :0). Alright, talk to you all soon.

Great Training Sessions

I wanted to thank everyone that attended and helped during our training sessions these past two Thursdays. You ROCK. I'm glad everyone was able to get some hands on training. I will be posting final Team assignments this week as well as which team members will be continuing their training as shadows (oooooo, shadows, ooooooooooo). Don't be scared, it's not really shadowy, it's more like shadowing. You know. Ok, glad you know.

So keep an eye out for our posting soon. Until then, just want to pass on the congrats to you all. Everyone did an awesome job and we had a great turn out. Thanks to everyone and talk to you all soon

Adrian

Team/Subgroup Updates (pretty much final)

All, as we get closer to our training this week, I'll be forwarding more and more information concerning your teams, subgroups and training material. I want to encourage everyone to visit our blog and subscribe to it. Here is the link again:

http://dfccproductions.blogspot.com/

Below is our pretty much final roster of team members, their corresponding team and subgroup (specialty) designation. Most everyone should receive this posting by email as well. Talk to you all soon.

Adrian =D i will not be in town this weekend so i will miss the first training but i will be at the one on the 6th...

Cool, no worries, we'll see you next Thursday and we'll try and get you the notes for this Thursdays formal training.

Weekly Post

I hope this posting finds everyone in good health. I'm so excited to have so many new recruits helping us in our media ministry. We will now have many more hands, which always makes the load light. Thanks again to all the new recruits.

Friendly reminder that we're going to be having our formal training this Thursday, July 30th and next Thursday, August 6th both at 6:30 PM. We shouldn't be more than one and a half hours. Really :0)

We will be covering quite a bit, therefore, we will be starting right on time. As much of the training is hands on, it's important we see everyone at 6:30. Ok, enough of the particulars.

Great new for us all. We have now received a new Canon video camera that records directly to disk. Along with a new pro level, wireless mic and body pack. This will allow us to record a few new items that our leadership has requested of us. We also received some additional on camera lighting gear, that will help us shoot better in the dark. Namely, for D2. They like to be in the dark. We light up the dark :0). At least now we will. Remember, we're the light of the world (corny, i know).

Speaking of D2, we will have some of their staff training along side ours. D2 will be covering a few things for our ministry such as man on streets, exit interviews as well as capturing clips for D2 and GOD School. This definitely is exiting for us as we desparately needed an additional camera for this type of work. We'll definitely find other uses for this new equipment. Training will be performed on this new gear beginning this Thursday as well.

Our switcher (person in charge of switching our computer screens from live to computer, scriptures, lyrics, etc..), will be not only enjoying the pleasure of learning a new presentation application, but for some a brand new, very stable operating system, Apple OS. oooooooooooooo yes, deserves another oooooooooooooo No worries, it's as easy as falling off a bike. But we first need to learn how to ride this new bike :0)

Well, won't keep you, but just wanted to give you all heads up as to our up coming formal training. Have a couple of things planned for these two days, but need to confirm. Will let you know what's up as well as training points as the formal training day nears.

Adrian

Weekly Post

Everyon, hope you all are doing great. Blue team you all did a great job this past weekend. Appreciate all your hard work. Red Team you all are on next week. :0) Bad news everyone, :0( No more Krispy Kreams. I know, I feel it too. I stopped by Sunday morning at a local convenience store and found the Krispy Kream racks empty. Kinda figured they hadn't put them out so I asked. To no avail, "we are no longer carrying Krispy Kreams." It was fun while it lasted. I'll figure out something to fatten you all up with, no worries. :0)

Concert went great both services, not according to plan, but you all adapted great. Really great job everyone. Also, we will be having training this month or beginning of next month for presentation team as well as camera team. Some cross training is mandated, but that's to be expected huh.

We have received our new presentation software and will be receiving our new "Mac Mini" soon. Our presentation team has got this training cut out for them, as not only will they be learning presentation software, but for some, a new operating system, albeit, easier operating system, but none the less new and different :0).

I will be in touch with the presentation team personally to schedule this training. Probably on a Tuesday during the week. We will be going over several topics as well as mock sermons to help us prepare for actual service presentation.

Have a great one and talk to you soon.

Adrian

weekly post

all, hope everyone is having an awesome time. wanted to thank those that showed up for spring cleaning at church. you guys rock. :0) everyone, thanks for your all your help this past sunday, we had a great service. just wanted to encourage everyone, 'cause you guys deserve all the credit for the awesome work we give out to the church and to the community.

wanted to remind Red Team that you guys are on this Sunday :0) yeaay. also, will try and have more Krispy's this coming Sunday, however, for some reason, they like all vanished. i mean, i did my thing to prep for service, and was looking forward to my donut, chocolate glazed, hmmm, with sugar glazed too i guess. you know, the kind of donut that goes straight to your hips. yeah, that's the one i wanted to savor after my 7:30 arrival and 8:30 finish, but the donut monster arrived and stole my donut. :0( hmmmm, i'm not bitter, not at all, just need to get my krispy fix today. :0)

ok, over it now, red team you are on, blue team, get ready for next week. Also, i need to start reporting to admin. those volunteers that are scheduled to work, but hmmmmm, don't. it's just a coincidence that "blue team" and "those volunteers that are scheduled to work, but don't" phrases came up. Really, Really. ... really, but need to start reporting to our assigned Deacon, Deacon Avery (al on sound board). K guys, have a great one and see you bright eyed and bushy tailed this Sunday at 8:30 AM

Wanted to thank everyone for such a great job on Sunday. Especially our announcement team. You guys worked hard on Sunday. Even though we were short staffed, you were able to pull it off and honestly, it was easier to edit than before. I liked the fact that after every take, the taping stopped. This allowed me to actually prep each file individually. This helped so much. So much so, that we're going to be doing that from now on. We will record an announcement take, then after we're done, we'll stop the taping and continue with a different take. This really helped, can't stress how much easier this was.

Shout out to Mallonda for doing ALL the announcements this week. Both Elder Mike and Minister Karen, were out of town. Make sure you all let her know how good a job she did. Don't forget the camera man (mario), he rocks too.

BLUE TEAM, guess what, we were a bit short from you all this past Sunday. We managed, but please let me know if you can't make it, we can pull from red team if needed. But no worries, you can all make it up this coming Sunday, as it's Fifth Sunday, and it's BLUE FIFTH SUNDAY. Remember last 5th Sunday, red team had to work 2 Sundays in a row. Well, now it's Blue Team's turn. Looking forward to seeing everyone by 8:30 AM Sunday morning.

Talk to you all soon.

Check this sequence out all :0)

weekly post for week of 05.15.09

Everyone, hope you all are doing great. Wanted to update everyone on a couple items. However, first, I want to give kudos to Deacon Avery (al-sound board) and Elvis - don't be cruel :0) (sound board/lighting guro) on an awesome job this past Sunday for the Wise Women Win brunch. We were out last week gathering equipment and staging for Saturday. Saturday, morning at about 7:00 Set up began, tear down didn't finish until everything was brought back to the church and left at about 5:00 PM. I know it was tiring and I want to say how much your efforts are appreciated. We couldn't have had such a successful conference without both of you all. Thanks guys.

Ok, remember Red Team. You are on this week. Please meet in the production room by 8:30 AM. It's very important to prepare for service then. So see you all there, bright eyed and bushy tailed :0)

2nd, our purple team (announcement team). Is doing an awesome job, don't you all think? Thanks guys. You know, even though purple is a combination of red and blue, literally and team wise, I'm not liking the purple team "name". Now, i'm thinkig of something cooler. such as the "annie" team? hmmmmmmm, what do you all think, we'll stick with purple team if the team decides to do this, please post and let me know.

On that note, we may be moving our taping sessions to Sunday during Bishop's B Service Sermon. This will allow us to record and prepare simultaneously for Bishop's intro and outro, etc... This is a very real possibility and I really hope this happens as everyone I spoke to on our announcement team so far, loves the idea. I agree as well. Please email, post or let me know.

We're creating our own content very shortly and preparing for a big recording session, of our pastors, both still, and video. This is going to be a location recording at a local park. We will be setting up light panels, cameras and microphones during this session. We will be using these new clips for our intro to our broadcast. If you all are interested in participating in this mini hollywood style production, please let me know. I will def. need helping hands. We'll be having it the end of May. Actually the last Friday of the month is our current date, however, there has been talk to move it around. I will let you all know by the end of next week what the firm date is, if not sooner.

See you all Sunday :0)

Weekly Post for 05 06 09

Everyone, hope you all are doing great. Red team did great last week. Awesome. Camera two, you guys are doing great. Your shots are very steady and on. I have literally increased my usable shots by like 300%. I wonder why? Hope the new monopod is easy to use. Thanks.

I think we're caught up as far as uploading to our broadcast to our website. We were behind a bit because of my absence for like 5 days here. Wow, really missed my family while in NAB (national association of broadcast) By the way, get ready for some cool changes. Mostly, just in our graphics for broadcast. I have been practicing some new looks and hope to have them out soon. Also, have quite a few ideas for some video intros created by us. I will be sending you these ideas shortly by email and hope to have you give me some feed back. Maybe a pow wow over these ideas during our next meeting, which is like in 2 weeks :0)

When I was out, a couple Sundays ago, everything went great. We had a bump with our after service recording of Bishop, with our audio, but that was corrected so no worries there. Our announcement team is doing a great job as well as office staff getting the announcements to us by Wednesday. Elder Yeary is doing an awesome job as well as our girls :0) (Claudia & Mallonda - our female hosts). Make sure you all give all of them a "Great Job" greeting, I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Our announcement team is doing an awesome job. We're getting really good at the green screen and can begin to expand it. Any ideas for projects are greatly appreciated.

Well, great job all and remember blue team is on this week. Best wishes to Becky who is missed and hope she'll visit when in town.

Adrian

Post - Post for Last week

All, as you might now, I was out last week and didn't have a chance to post. Here you go. Everything went awesome the Sunday I was at NAB. You guys rock. Everything went smooth and editing was a breeze thanks to everyone. Just wanted to post this quick one. I'll post more of what's up for this week and how our new announcements are coming along. Talk to you all soon.

Weekly Post for 04 15 09

Hope everyone is doing great. Wanted to let all Red Team, to bring there A Game, because I won't be here. I wanted to let everyone know that Pastor Rich, Pastor Cruz, and myself will be out this weekend. We will be heading out to NAB (national association of broadcasters). I'm actually not excited as I should be. I will be missing my family terribly. However, coming back from NAB will definitely give us huge advantages and new directions in our ministry. Looking forward to bringing all the latest and greatest back to Destiny

Alright, everyone. Blue Team did an awesome job this past Sunday. Thanks, to those in Red Team that lent a hand. I was commented several times that we did GREAT :0).

Wanted to make sure that all our assignments are covered this coming Sunday, as I mentioned to you, that I won't be here. Oh oh. I know. Things that I normally do. Such as drop in announcements set up cameras (sometimes - mario and becky have been doing that) as well as misc. stuff that I have time to do - WON'T BE DONE. Well, at least not by me. Jennifer and Elmore will be in charge this weekend. Please talk to them if you have any questions. I will be calling Red Team and some blue team members to support Red Team. Red Team is a bit smaller than Blue and we need to pull from Blue if we can.

I will be setting up the projection computer on Friday or Thursday. So Jennifer, you will just need to open up a saved program. It will be named April192009 or something like that. I'll let you know exactly, however, it will describe this sundays date. Cameras will be in the sound room and will need to be set up and synced prior to recording. Audio needs to be taken care of as well. Nothing out of the ordinary, just I won't be here. I will be available by phone if you need to get a hold of me. You all have my number.

Lastly, I really need everyone ready to go by 8:30 AM. Meaning. We need to get there at 8:00 and set up. So as by 8:30 AM. We can pray and talk about any challenges that need addressing that morning.

That's it, please email or txt or call and confirm with me your assignments, arrival times and questions you might have. Talk to you all soon.

Hope everyone is doing fantastic. I wanted to thank everyone for your help this past weekend. You all rock. I also have great news, but will talk about that a bit later.

First and foremost: THREE services this coming Sunday. We will need to the video switcher, camera 01, and audio only recording for our 7 am service and b service. Our regular A service (9 am) will be the one where we will need camera 02 on and recording as well. We won't be recording the other two services unless something changes before then. Just wanted to let you all know.

Also, we will have breakfast for everyone starting I believe at 6 AM. Remember, if you are on this weekend, we need to be ready at 6:30 AM. Wow, that's early. Most everyone is already going to be at church at about that time, so, looking forward to having breakfast with the whole team.

If you are off, you may be asked to help out. We've already had an interest in some team members switching between services from blue to red etc... This is 2nd Sunday so Blue Team is on GO BLUE.

We also are going to begin our DFCC News Announcements this coming Sunday. Good luck to us all. It looks great and looking forward to it. This should be fun. I will be creating a separate team for our Wednesday Night Announcement Recordings. I will post up shortly as well. However, announcement team, already now who they are. Hmmmmm, trying to come up with a color for you all, let me know what you decide on. This team will also be helping in our video content creation. More on this this Wednesday when we meet. (it will be fun, lots of fun, can you say "Short Film") Yeah loads of fun everyone. Excited about this new project

Lastly, but not least. Our weekly Saturday broadcast (time warner) was actually bumped up for those of us that missed it. Bishop mentioned it Sunday morning, so I called yesterday to Time Warner Production. It turns out that this happens twice a year. Once in spring and once in Fall, something about LDS conference. However.....

GREAT NEWS
In Speaking with Russ Kelman (the guy at Time Warner that we give our broadcast to and sets it up - our contact) about why we were bumped and how our broadcast is doing, if we need to change anything or update or etc... he said

"Your broadcast is the best one we receive.... We have no problems with the Video or Audio.... You're doing a great job over there."

How do you all like them apples? So Team, YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB. AN AMAZING JOB EVERYONE. Everyone is doing there best they can and we're only getting better.

I hope this brightens your day. It did to me yesterday, I was all gitty.

Adrian, talk to you all soon.

Weekly Post for 03 31 09

Go Red. Red team did great. Appreciate all your hard work. Remember, next week, we're on again. Because of March's 5th week Red Team worked 5th Sunday and will work again on 1st Sunday in April. Sorry guys, have to work again. However, remember next 5th Sunday Blue Team will be on.

We will be finalizing our test for our in service announcements this week. We will be recording on Wednesday Night. It will be a full dress for the announcer. We will be in touch this week personally to make sure it happens Wednesday Night. We will also be creating an announcement team so look out for those wanting in on this :0) Remember great experience.

A few thing that we need to worry about before then:

· cue cards with talking points
· announcer will have to ad lib the talking points ( a la new caster style )
· green screen will need to be ironed out or steam out the wrinkles ( i will take care of this)
· i will try and get out the announcements by this afternoon so as to have the announcer practice their lines

Great, that's it for today, i'll post up our broadcast for this week by Thursday and will let you know when it's up so you all can preview it.

Lastly, the training session from last week is on Destiny TV on our website:

http://destiny4me.com/about-us/destiny-tv/

However, am posting the clip as an embed below to you have those who couldn't attend to view it. Looking forward to hearing from you.



Oh, sorry, last lastly, we need some labels to use on our youtube account for our broadcast and misc. clips. thinking of:
Destiny,Christian,Religous,EL Paso, Church, can you all provide some more? Thanks.

Blue Team Rocks. Thanks blue. Everything went great on Sunday. Things changed we adapted and well, you guys did great. Very proud of you all. ;0) Remember red team is on for this coming Sunday. Now this month we have a 5th Sunday, meaning Red team will be on this Sunday and the first Sunday of April. Meaning, Red team is on for the next two weeks.

Also, this Wednesday we will begin our testing for out newscast style announcements and should have something to show you all by next week. So, i'll get with the two announcers and the team that will handle Wednesday night announcements. Please call or email if you would like to be part of this new team :0) Thanks,

What else, oh, We need camera training next week. I'm thinking Wednesday of the following week at 6 PM for all the camera crew. This is important, as we need to tighten up our shots and get to know how our cameras work. We will be getting some additional equipment this week and need to instruct the team on how to go about using this new gear.

Perfect, will update you all as the week goes by on this weekends broadcast as well as tomorrows rest recordings.

Running Behind

Everyone, sorry for not posting up yesterday. Been running around. Alright, Blue Team is on this Sunday. See you all bright and early at 8:30 AM :0) Red team did an awesome job this past Sunday. Cool. Also, I want to reming everyone again to let me know of about attending the training on the 24th. Food will be served at 6:30 PM and the training will begin at 7:00 PM.

By the way, we've been asked to record this training and post it online. I'm assuming for those that don't show up to the training. All volunteers, including media, are encouraged to attend, this is directly from Bishop you all.

We will be needing camera 1 and 2 going, however, we may not need to be manning them. I don't think we might even need camera 2 but will let you all know about that this Sunday. Looking forward to seeing everyone this Sunday.

Oh, lastly, we need to schedule training for camera people by the end of this month. We need to improve some camera work. I'm hoping we can do at least one training a month maybe two. Talk to you all soon.

Videos On Youtube

I reviewed the Videos on Youtube this week I think if we are going to continue to do this that we have to get a standard list of "Tags". Instead of Adrian attempting to come up with the tags, if everyone come up with two tags for our videos we will have quite a nice number and not have to worry about inappropriate material being related to our videos.

Hope everyone is doing great. I wanted to get some info into your hands:


VERY IMPORTANT:

not quite sure how this coming Sundays service will be recorded. on giving days we normally don't have a sermon, however, we need something to put on the air for the following weekend. we're working on some ideas today and tomorrow and should have some more information for you all by tomorrow afternoon. we will be recording a "Heart To Heart" session with Bishop this week, on Thursday. This will be during the day, it would be great to have some team members there, if possible, but if not, it's alright. Email, call or txt me if you are interested. Now, to our week in review :0)



1. everything went great this past Sunday. Go blue team. I was very surprised that everyone showed up at 8:30. WOW, very impressed. Thanks guys.

2. we need to concentrate on our audio for video. the person manning the board in the back needs to understand that we are recording to our cameras from that board. whatever we do to the audio in our sound room effects our whole audio for broadcast as well as the whole complex. that being said, those operating the audio board in the sound room have a very important task to perform. we have to stay on top of it. cool, thanks.

3. also, i want to call our march 24th, church wide, volunteer meeting mandatory, but never liked the word mandatory. seems so business like. however, it's greatly appreciated and very important that ALL media staff attend this training. Nicer huh. please let me know who will be needing child care. bring your spouse and we'll leave them their too. lol we need to know how many children will be taken care of.

4. because i have received tons of ideas from our team regarding our own video content for distribution online and in our preservice video intros, i don't need to really do much (this is sarcasm in written form, for those not privy to it) :0p I digress. So, I'm going to shoot some ideas over this blog and hope to hit some people, hmmmmm (not literally), and get some feed back.

5. upper room is cleaned up and ready for our green screen. was suppose to have it up this weekend, but it didn't happen. sorry guys, my bad on that one. but it needs to be up this week definitely.

6. we already have our virtual studio back drop, but will be needing a close up type of studio set. if you want to have a look at the ones available, know yourself's out : x

let me know which ones you like

7. our projector should be up this week, maybe by today. if you all didn't notice, our stage right projector was out last Sunday and was replaced by a loaner this past Sunday. It was very dull and not bright at all, but, it was a loaner. our lamp is in and am trying to have it replaced today, latest thursday this week.

8. GOD school has been having feed issues for the last few weeks, HB went out to try and fix the issue, however, they haven't really fixed the issue and need to go back and FIX THE ISSUE. they have tried to replace the cable and the amplifier, but no dice. so we'll what happens this week and will let you know.

This past Sunday went great. Our Red Team did extremely well and were on time as well :0). This is very important as now we are able to discuss Sunday service changes or updates. We also have time to go before the Lord in prayer. I think this is great, I was much more at peace knowing that our assignments were blessed and positions (posts) were well taken care of.

I'm currently downloading this weekends footage. I have not yet finished the broadcast, but am sure everything turned out great. I have a couple of updates for everyone:

1. our studio should be up by this coming Sunday. Faith In Motion has identified what they do not need. Namely the stack of clothing that Becky was sitting on the other Sunday :0). We need to remove this pile and set up our studio.

2. we need to steam or iron our green screen. once this is done we can set it up and then move on from their. We will be needing to replace our audio boom with a hanging mic. This shouldn't be too hard. We'll figure this out by Sunday. We have a steamer at church and will borrow it to steam our green screen.

3. once green screen/studio is set up this week, we need to begin work on our newscast style announcements. This is very important as it would cut down the amount of time we have on our service. Not that our current system isn't working, but we really should try and trim down and make more service more exciting at the same time.

4. lastly, we are beginning the process to design our own content such as our video intros. these video intros (mini movies) will require proper planning and lots of input from everyone. Suggestions are welcomed and def. needed. Please send ideas to me, such as:

style, look, topics, talent, etc...

looking forward to seeing these ideas on our blog

have a great one all and will post up our weekly broadcast link.

Oh, one more thing. We our now posting our A service, audio only, podcast to our iTunes account. We are actually doing this during B service. So, by the time our members get home, they can honestly download the service again. Or if you don't go, they can listen to the broadcast. How cool huh.

DIG Clips

Wanted to show you all the fruits of your labor. These are the clips we'll be playing in the weeks and days leading up to our Big DIG. Let me know what you all think:







Enjoy,

adrian

All,

Hope everyone is doing fantastic. :0) Wanted to show everyone this weekend's broadcast/this past Sunday's service. Enjoy:




Also, please don't forget that Red Team is on this Sunday. It is important to show up at 8:30. Promptly, this will now allow us to go over any details that we may need to divulge to y'all. Looking forward to our first team working. Thank God, we have now the staff to be able to have two fully functioning teams.

Please remember to bring a full stomach or snacks or money for snacks. No more free snacks. The Deacons have been taking advantage of the snacks and ruined it for all of us. j/k

All,

Hope everyone is doing great. Alright, everyone. We're changing the way we work. Below is a tentative schedule for the rest of the year. I'm hoping to have everyone work every other Sunday. We need the remaining balance of Sunday, to actually attend church service. This will help us to not burn out. As mentioned before, I think having two teams would be awesome. Red and Blue. Red team will be on odd Sunday's (1st and 3rd), Blue team will be on even Sunday's ( 2nd and 4th ). 5th Sundays will alternated between both teams.

I have assigned you all into teams already and tried to keep you all with your current church ministry schedule. Please look it over and let me know if we need to move you around, to make this tentative schedule permanent.

Lastly, I'm assigning you all to posts (i.e. camera, presentation, audio/cd recording, etc...). Some have been left in place, while others have been moved around. It's great for all of us to be well rounded and find out what we are most excellent at. These posts, though not permanent, can be moved around through out the year, but will be reviewed after every quarter. Please email or ask if you have any questions.

Here is the schedule and assignments:

Red Team Blue Team

camera team Fitzgerald Claudia
Alexis Mario
Becky john
ray ?



projection team james jennifer
will vince
adrian



audio team tim mike
troy alexis

web team marcus
crystal
tim

All,

Hope everyone is doing great. Wanted to let you all know of last Sunday's broadcast ready for preview on our website. As mentioned before, we're still waiting for Monk to fix our audio podcast link, other than that, we are pretty much ready to begin our audio podcast posting, same day. How exciting.

Also, I'm putting together a work schedule for us to follow. It's great when everyone shows up to help out, but it's not that great when we don't. So, in an effort to have consistency during our Sunday morning services, I'm going to create a BLUE team and Red team. I was thinking of FUSCIA and PERIWINKLE, however, not sure if we all know all know those colors, but was hoping we know the former colors, even though they are gang colors. (i think)

Well, I have you're preferred schedules and will work with them, to allow for work in other ministries you may be in. We're also getting ready to begin our new announcement, a la newscast style. The first few announcements are going to be the ones that will set the standard so we need to make sure to establish some good rules/techniques for them. We will be needing a couple of announcers/newscasters. I know Claudia is up for it, but would need one more person, suggestions are greatly appreciated, please send these names to me or throw your own name into the hat. We should start recording as soon as the upper room is cleaned up. We're hoping that will happen in the next couple of weeks.

Here is the link to our current broadcast:

Ooyala Video Player

Everyone, it seems we're getting on track on uploading the current weeks broadcast to our video player online. We've been consistent for a few weeks already and hope it gets updated every week. Below is our this past Sunday's A service that will be airing this weekend.

http://destiny4me.com/resources-/video-center/

Please look over the video above and let me know of any suggestions, comments, etc...

Let me know what you all think here on this blog for all to comment on them :0) . Also, we're switching the way we normally upload our audio podcasts. Our current method is a bit cumbersome. The audio podcast will very soon be available beginning B service on Sunday. How cool huh. Mario is going to be taking care of that area, while I'm still going to be taking care of the video upload as well as weekend broadcast.

Also, we currently are producing several cd's to different ministries, mostly G.O.D. School, but was hoping if we make the audio podcast available ASAP, if we can trim down the amount of CD's we hand out. My thoughts are that the different ministries will be emailed the link to download the audio version of our service (podcast). Via a quick newsletter link. This quick weekly newsletter (mini - extremely small) can drive traffic to our website. If our members don't want to download the audio, they can watch the video that week as well. Please post comments, ideas, or concern's concerning this project. Let me know what you all think.

Thanks...

We are artist and craftsman

“He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them master craftsmen and designers.” - Ex. 35:35 (NIV)

just wanted to leave you all with that thought
