Finally got this bugger online!
Ok earlier this year we made a documentary on how we made church news from the initial script writing to the final playback on a sunday. It covers everything from camera operation, post production skills, editor management and dealing with departments. I hope you guys enjoy it! I think it turned out alright!

Wicked cool man!!
really nicely produced & damn interesting to watch!

ok so funniest part was Tim saying how he hates looking over an editors shoulder changing every little thing, HE LOVES IT!!!!
I know right!! haha! Actually there was a really great scene we had to cut with Tim I gotta show you whenever you get back! Thanks for the compliments Fezz! It was good meeting the legendary Matt Fezz the other night!
Hi guys, love your work, you all do such an awesome job, have been to Hillsong Brisbane a number of times, I am currently assembling a video edit team for our church news broadcasts… you mentioned that you have a creative brief that you use for your departments… is there a chance you could post a sample of your creative brief.
May God continue to use Hillsong and the team there abundantly!

Hey Nick,
Really appreciate the behind the scenes look at how you make Church News every week. Now if I only had a full staff to help me produce ours as well.

Hey Nick, great video. I was wondering if you had a copy of the “Right Questions to ask” sheet that you have people fill out. A couple times I miss the point of what the client is wanting because I’m not getting the information of what they want, and have to redo a lot of work.
Thanks!
This is awesome, very inspiring, very helpful, im the media tech at my church and have been working there for almost a year, and church news is something we have been doing for awhile. This defiantly gives me ideas on how to make it better, thank you Hillsong
