Well from my perspective, things are very good on the crew at riverview lately...
Our OC Campus is up and running and we've started feeding our saturday night message to them each week which basically gives them the same 40 minute message of Phil speaking that we get here in perth. Very exciting to be part of something that gets viewed by people overseas!
We've just got our crane/jib arm up and running on sunday nights and week by week each of the 6 different teams are getting a chance to play with it and so far it's been looking really dynamic and giving a very fresh and interesting look to our shoots which is cool. Although my team won't be on the sunday night service for a few more weeks so i'll have to do my best to wait patiently!! hehe. :)
The other thing coming up is our crew reshuffle which francis and joelle are planning on implementing very soon in the next 2 weeks i believe. Basically they're changing the teams around a little bit to build a more balanced team across the board. So theres a few teams that have many qualified handheld operators and some teams that have very few... and the same thing for each other position like center camera, multimedia, camera 4, directing....... Basically over the last few years so many people have come and gone from the crew that things have just become a little unbalanced in terms of qualifications. So this new re-shuffle of all 6 teams will correct that and make it so all 6 teams have roughly the same skill level and the same amount of qualified people.
Now i guess it could be difficult at first to re-adjust to a new team for some people, however i think it's really exciting that it will give the crew a fresh new look and feel and give us the oppurtunity to meet and become close with some of the many other people on the crew that we might not know that well yet. So yeah, it may be strange at first... but long term it will be really positive for everyone i think! At the end of the day, We are ONE crew and we're unified!
Anyway, i'd like to apologise from the bottom of my heart for the lack of postings on this blog lately... Blogger did an update on how it's users sign in and so it scrapped all the other contributors we had here. So ive just re-invited them all, and i've also invited the media guys at OC to come in and post too.
So hopefully this blog will be firing on all cyclinders for the remainder of this year!!
So keep checking !
Luv you all, pleasure serving with you. God bless.
HaRRy BoY.
Well Guys, this month, we record our 600th epsisode of our TV programme that will soon be known as RiverviewLIVE. And in good RVTV tradition, its time for a new shirt. So here is a draft design that I'm about 95% happy with. Here is the catch, if you want one, you will need to register your interest by adding a comment to this post, with your name and size, so I know how many to get done up. We will sell them at cost, so they should not be more than $20. I'll confirm the cost asap. So well done team (both past members and present), 600 eps is awesome job, only God knows how many lives have been touched by it. My prayer is that God would receive all the glory for our efforts.
