Crew for July 23, 2006

Training Opportunity

Starting Tonight, I will be at all Wednesday night rehearsals. ANYONE who wants to come and sharpen their skills by practicing during Jeff's rehearsal can come. It's not required, but RSVP if you are coming. I again STRONGLY recommend any directors to come so that they can here the songs and start to think about how they want to light or shoot it.

Summer Projects

Summer seems to be the only time when I can organize time for special projects. I'd like you help to pick thee projects you think are most important. The first one I have scheduled. I would like to re-aim and change gels on the back lights (above the choir) on June 25, at 1:00 pm. I have already bought some gel colors. Lighting people, please ask to look at them and give me your impressions/suggestions.

Other possible projects I like to see us work on this summer are, in no particular order:

• Re-aim/gel front colors
• Build shelves/organize north mechanical room/closet.
• re-run cam 2 lines (so intercom and camera run together. We'll have to do this before we get the new intercom).
• Re-run/troubleshoot Projector lines/scan line (goes well with above project).
• Re-run coax feeds to S-1, S-4, Narthex (future), and Pastor's Study TVs.
• Put away old riser that is buy lighting board.
• Build shelves/organize under north stair well.

Feel free to suggest more projects.

Other Events

Wednesday, May 31 - TOMORROW!

People of Passion assembly (aka stuffing) party. Bring a snack to share. Wednesday at 7 pm in rooms S1&2. We'll watch it while we put together the packages. I can't do this without you!

Monday, June 5, 2006 - July 2 Creative Meeting

We'll bring together ideas and start to formulate the visuals for the service in more detail. All are invited who would like to contribute, even if you don't think you're creative.

July 2, 2006 Crew

There will be only one service on July 2 at 9:00 am. Call time will be 8:15. I will be making that weekend a "special" team, instead of the regularly scheduled team. Please let me know ASAP if you can help, and what position you would like to serve in.

Crew For May 28 and People of Passion Info

In an attempt to (ironically) not fill your e-mail boxes up with messages, I am going to write one message this week. (I was trying to format the text and accidentally clicked "send" on the last message)

Crew for May 28, 2006 (Spring Team C)

• Lighting Director: Sue
• Video Director: Jason
• CG: Kathy
• Camera 1: Jay

"People of Passion" Assembly Party

Please join us to help duplicate and assemble packaging for the "People of Passion" CDs and DVDs next Wednesday, May 31 at 7:00 pm in room S1&S-2. I will provide drinks. Please bring a snack to share. I expect it to take a couple hours at the most.

Sunday May 14 Crew

Here is the crew for Sunday. Katie and Sue switched, so Sue will be here instead. NOTE: I will only need a couple of you for the 9:30. The Children's ministry is performing a musical that is the whole service, and they are "Tech" for everything except Video Director. (Also, Rick and Sue, you can switch if you want.)

• Lighting Director:           Rick
• Video Director:              Sue
• CG Operator:                Jay
• Camera 1:                     Cory
• Camera 2:                     Time
• Camera 3:                     Ralph

If anyone wants to learn a new position at 8 or 11, this would be a good week for "apprentices." I.E., if you want to learn lights instead of run camera.

NEW ROTATIONS COMING SOON!

July 2 Creative Team Reminder

Just a reminder, that we will be having a July 2 creative meeting on Monday, May 15 at 6:30 in S1&2. I will have some form of draft cue sheet ready by then. PLEASE RSVP so I have enough copies of stuff. If the front door is locked, try the side door by my office.

Attention Volunteers

Hey all you in-active people on this e-mail list!

We need your help! Every Sunday a very dedicated crew comes in and runs the three services. It takes 8 people to fully staff the tech crew each week. And right now we average 6. Please come to the booth some Sunday and check us out! The commitment is for three months, once every three weeks. That only comes to 5 TURNS! Come on, YOU CAN DO IT! It's easy to trade on weeks when you're gone. E-mail me if you have questions.

 

Also consider serving at our CD sale cart, or making CD copies on Sunday mornings. Its easy!

 

Active Volunteers!

To all of you on rotation, you are probably waiting to see if I get the new rotation published on time this quarter. Well, I plan to, but I need your help! Teams are growing, and I hope they continue to grow. But I don't feel like they are very well-balanced, skill wise, so I have a few questions for you:

• What is your favorite crew position?
• What is your least-favorite crew position?
• What position do you feel you are best at?
• What position do you feel you are worst at (out of the positions you've done)?
• What position(s) have you never (or rarely) done, and would like to try?

Please e-mail me

Creative Help for July 2

Our special "Independence Day" celebration will be on July 2nd this year, and I need your help to make it even better than the last. The day will be full of special events, including:
* the music ministry's "The Torch is Passed" performance
* the start of a new series focusing on "heritage"
* a church-wide PICNIC!

Not only will we need extra crew that day, but I need your help NOW with designing creative elements for the service, including graphics, lyric illustrations, videos, props, decorations, etc. To help get your creative juices flowing, CDs of the music are available in the booth. Please pick one up, listen to it and jot down your ideas. 

Then on Monday, MAY 15th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, we will meet in the sanctuary (S-1&2) to put together our ideas and do some brainstorming as a whole team.  if you can't make it that day, feel free to e-mail me your suggestions. Follow-up meetings are tentative for May 29, and June 19.

Thanks in advance for your help with this! You are the best volunteers in the world!
