THE UNASHAMED TOUR

             I recently went to the Unashamed Tour and it was a phenominal site to see. The show featured Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashi,Sho Barraca, DJ Official, and Pro. According to the Christian News Wire this tour was expanded to over 20 cities throughout the United States and plays to tour the United Kingdom in 2011. A group of us from House of Slap Radio (an urban Christian Hip Hop Radio station) attended this event to find the church building filled to capacity. The show was electrifying and lasted from around 7pm to 12am of nonstop display of rapping, drumming, ministering, djaying, and dancing. I thought to myself the planning for this event must be intense because there needed to be someone to cue these videos which went along with the performances. In addition there had to be cues for the lighting and audio. The planning for this process must have included drawn out detail as well as strenuous preparation. The execution of this event was absolutely amazing! The only glitch that happened was the sound went out when Lecrae was ministering his song called the "Background" but because he is very experienced in this he kept going and it looked like it was part of the song because he never stopped rapping. The video, audio, & lighting cues were all timed exceptionally well and they kept a high level of professional showmanship. Everyone I talked to after the event was well pleased with the event and actually some people said that they received way more than they paid for, which is due to the fact the show lasted around 5 hours. This performance which i like to call ministry was well put together with proper planning, execution, and a satisfied audience. This concert gets 5 out of 5 stars from me and once again this is another advancement for Urban Christian Media!

Teamwork Tips from a Major Movie

I read an excerpt from bnet.com which was titled "5 Teamwork Takeaways from the Harry Potter Film Crew." As I read through the article it was about Margaret Heffernan, who is a CEO of several media companies, and she was taking a tour on the set of Harry Potters set with her family. There are several laws which apply to this world we live in and one of them is that you cannot succeed on your own it takes teamwork to make the dream work. She noted these 5 traits on the set. 1. Everyone loves their job- everyone had chosen to work in a field they loved. It makes it easier to work in teams that everyone enjoys what they are doing. 2. Everyone has the opportunity,even encouragement, to do their best work. People on the set were doing their best to operate in excellence. 3. A certain degree of rivalry doesn't hurt. She found different departments competing with one another to see who did the best work and this competition didn't hurt because it helped the end result.4. Industry loyalty runs deep.-People have a love for  the industry and work close nit so there is a strong level of politeness. 5. Success breeds success. Having a great track record leaves the expectations high so the team has a high goal to achieve to be better than last film. So we can see how beneficial this tips can be to all teams in media.
