Check out Caleb and Jen from the School of Music in Missions performing (well lip-syncing) their song Frienamies.

New Video Camera

Saturday, September 11th, 2010
Our media department received a new Sony video camera the other day. We got it specifically to do some filming of our medical ship that is currently providing free health care to the people of Papua New Guinea. I’ll be heading up on Wednesday to join our team for the last medical outreach of this year.
Last week we needed to get a feel for the camera and we figured what better place than the local aquarium. Here’s some of the footage that we shot (make sure to check out the youtube page to watch it in full HD):

Remember Betacam?

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

There’s been a few betacam tapes lying around here and we needed to get the footage off of them and into the computer. Luckily we have friends in the broadcast industry who had a Betacam deck we could borrow. The BVW-75P is an ancient piece of machinery but a real marvel of electrical and mechanical engineering. Back in 1989 it’s suggested retail price was around $53,000. Now units online are fetching around $7500, still a hefty sum.

We hooked the BVW-75P into our sony anycast through the composite out signal, and use the anycast to convert the signal to firewire which was fed into our computer. The footage turned out fairly nice considering one of the tapes was over ten years old.

The footage will be used for some promotional videos we’ll be making in the future for the upcoming ship ministry which we’ll be a part of.

This is the Marine Reach promo video from 2003:

The Promise

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Stable on the Strand is Townsville’s yearly event held down at the local beach. This year was a huge hit with estimates of close to 40,000 coming to the event. Each year a play is put on that represents the true Christmas story. This year ‘The Promise’ took it one step further. Not only did they outline the life of Jesus, they pretty much summed up the bible in about 20 minutes. You can watch it for youself below and see what amazing job they did.

A Voice in the Dark Videos

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

These are the videos that Stephen, Joanna and myself worked on for the Voice in the Dark Tour that Sara went on. The tour was mainly geared toward school kids showing them that there are injustices happening in the world and that they could do something about it. These videos were shown during the concert.
