Dear Post-production Team,
Well, 2006 has come and gone! What a year. All in all, I just want to express how immensely glad I am with everyone in this team. Regardless of how new you may be in this team or how 'lao jiao' you are,
you have a special place here.
Already, I am getting remarks from people saying how different the styles presented during the Heart Awards were. You guys are slowly developing your very own flavours and personalities, and that it a sign of personal growth. For those of you who have just jumped onto the bandwagon, your first videos are your achievement as growing members in this team.
No fear, no anxiety. Everyone is progressing at their own pace.
Anyhow, seeing that this is the beginning of the year, several things will be happening. Heh heh..
1) Systems and Procedures!
Now that the video season is more or less dying down(relatively), I will be working on the systems and procedures that will play a part in governing the world of the Imaginarium. From the looks of how things ran during the Heart Awards, we really really need them! I will share more with you guys when I have things tied down, but basically, we need these rules and protocols to give stability to our Creative Work, that we will be able to run and keep running well because everything runs, works and stays in place, even when under stress.
2) Fine System
Yes, your money will give new life to the ministry. Incidences of the room left in disorder were thankfully minimised, though not totally gone. We have to work towards perfection. Haha.
3) Debrief
I have yet to talk to each of you for your work done during the holidays. The most important thing is that evryone picks up something after the holidays. The last thing I want to happen is you walking off learning nothing; that would be the most unprofitable.
4) The Final Judgement
The Final Judgement on the Macs was stopped temporarily for the Heart Awards. Now it continues. When I am through, everything on the computers will be eliminated and we will have a clean sheet to start on again. The same goes for the LaCie hard Drive, both the photo and video ones.
5) The New Mac
I understand that there have been problems with the New Mac being unable to upload footage and all. Most of the time, either Sky or myself goes down to the Mac shop to get answers. I think it will be good if you guys begin to play a part in solving such technical issues as well. Hence I will be getting people to look up the Mac Shop.
5) Party!!
There just HAS to be some sort of celebration; I know everone has worked hard, and it's absolutely necessary that we celebrate our hardwork and successes. Let's all have it like a Pot Luck style, where everyone brings a bit of stuff. Do you think that this Sat will be too rushed? I was thinking next week wouldn't be too good since we will be busy with schools and evangelism and everything. Do give your opinion on the tagboard.
Alright, that should be it for now. It's a new year. I simply dream of all the things we will accomplish.
Dream big guys. Let's win the Team of the Year Award this year. I just know we can,
Accelerate,
Esmonde
