On Video….

Today was my first meeting with the Eusoff Works project I’m handling!
It’s a great success!
The meeting is full of enthu members all wanting to contribute their ideas!
Wow!! That’s the most productive meeting I’ve ever encounter.

Furthermore, some of them even did intense preparation prior to this meeting!

I’m really grateful!
Really really grateful!

Eusoff Works will do great this year!!!

Don’t worry!!
I have done a 13 page detailed Projects Work Plan
for Semester I and Semester II.

Another reason I’m grateful is because Eusoff Works is a technical Committee that fully utilizes Multimedia as a tool to promote Eusoff Hall.
I’m in charge of Projects!
Which means I will plan and oversee projects.

Our projects mainly are event coverages.
Some say event coverages are boring.
Nay~! It’s meaningful and fun!
Only through watching archive videos or photos will one be able to see
him/herself in another person’s perspective.

Well, God made our eyes to be embedded in our skull, looking out.
We cannot see what’s behind us nor how we ourselves look like.

If not for the invention of photographs, human will not be able to look at how he himself looks like. (ya, you can say mirror or reflection in water is comes first. But photographs can last for a long time)

If not for the invention of motion picture (Video), human will not be able to look at how  he himself interacts with one another.

Through a normal video archive we can learn a lot.
It serves as a reflection platform.

For example,
After a powerpoint presentation, Ah Beng asked his friend,
"How was my presentation just now?"
Answer that Ah Beng most probably will get will be
"Ok-lar" or "You’ve did your best" or "You should have…."

But if Ah Beng’s video are videographed.
Ah Beng will be able to know the exact feeling his audience will feel.
Mistakes are noted.
Funny gestures are noted too.

Therefore, the next time Ah Beng present, he will feel more confident and less prone to mistakes. Gestures are corrected as well.

That was just a simple example.

Sports Athletes have long used Video to analyse their own performance in a match. Most often, enemies tactics and techniques are analysed so that a counter-attack strategy can be implemented.

Actually my focus is not on performances nor sports.
I am aiming for sermons, church events, church ministry, yada yada…

I’ve tried taking a 5 weeks long School of Disciples training footage.
Unfortunately, I’m the only one editing and archiving;
Therefore the progress is slow;
Nonetheless, it’s 90% done.

Ok, back to why I’m grateful.
I’m grateful because God placed me in Eusoff Hall.
He placed me in the position of Director of Projects for Eusoff Works.
Everything seems to be clear now!
Although planning for projects is tedious, but I enjoyed the process.
I know it will sure be used as a tool to serve God in the future!

Dear Father in heaven,
hear my prayers.
Father, thank you for guiding every step that I take.
I’m grateful and the only way I can express my gratitute is to
fully utilise the talents you’ve given me.
Father, now that I understand the reason you placed me in Eusoff Hall, NUS.
Yet I need wisdom from You to maintain both my commitments and my studies.
I’ve just finish reading "Daniel’s Studying Method".
Father, please grant me the strength to discipline myself so that I may be a better vessel for you.
Thank you Lord.
Your love endures forever,
Your Grace is in abundance.

In Jesus most precious name I pray,
AMEN.
