I’ve been trying to think of something good to blog on but most of my creative thoughts and endeavors have been eaten by the monster of summer activities.
Sugar Creek’s youth ministry (lyf) just blew threw an awesome week of local missions but was met with the task of providing morning and evening worship sessions (you saw a bit of that in my last post). Three weeks out of Lead we hit camp.
That’s why I’ve disappeared. I’ve been gearing my brain for this week of camp prep and some how I think my week got short changed somewhere. I’m guessing by the end of the week I will be trying to figure out who jumped me and beat the snot out of me, but I’ll be loving every second of it. I’m the kind of person that thrives off of burning the candle at both ends trying to figure things out (albeit I have also learned how to squeeze in enough personal time to where I don’t blow a fuse).
So running up to the line here is where camp sits.
Monday just ended, it was my day off and I came in to finish basic editing on the camp rules video.
Thursday afternoon we’re pre-packing a twenty foot lift truck to go to camp
Friday morning I am driving up way north to pick up a 20ft screen that I’m using as my backdrop for camp and the truck is going to pick up the sound equipment and genie lifts to raise truss and lights in the air. Friday late afternoon is all set up at camp.
So, tuesday, wednesday and part of thursday I have to sound design for the camp rules video, finish designing and output some new motion backgrounds for camp. animate the camp logo. find backgrounds for the speaker/topic, put together a photo montage of all of the schools represented, maybe come up with team intros for the rec teams. tear out all eqipment from other rooms that I’m taking to camp and put it in a central location (12 movers, 10 LED cans, plus trussing, power cables and splitters, dmx cable, dmx splitter, hazer, aviom, sound console, lighting console, 2 graphics machines, wireless mics, projector and mount, tvs, aviom pieces, audio cabling)
I’m sure I’m forgetting something in there but I had to do a brain dump somewhere or I really would forget something. You just got to be the lucky recipients of that.
Chris Wilson is doing an awesome job putting together camp graphics and helped me shoot the stop motion camp rules video. As soon as it’s done and camp is el fin I’ll throw it up here for you to take a gander at.
