Charge Up! Conference 2013

11th-14th Apr 2013

Since the very 1st Charge Up conference, I'm finally back as a delegate this round to learn After Effects!

It's a challenge for someone not used to photoshop. But thank God I've pulled it through. I won't say that I could do those fancy stuff in a minute but I think opening the software won't freak me out. Lol. Here's what I did. Not the most fantastic thing but I made it.

Charge Up! Conference 2011

17th – 20th March 2011

It’s our annual church geek gathering! :-p
No no no, it’s the cool bunch gathering! We had great sharing by Choon Ean, Grace, Alex, Louis, Kee Sitt and lots of other industry experts. This year, I had small part. I get to share on how we use our digital mixer M7CL for stage monitoring. ;-)

Still amazed at how much sweat and tears put in by the team. It is incredible how you all function well even after all the sleepless nights. Salute!

2012 is our Sabbath year, so we won’t be having a Charge Up! Conference. Instead, the Livewire! team will take a break for Sabbath Summit. There will be Bolt Youth Media Camp though. Dates TBC.

Global Day of Prayer

Just had a great opportunity to serve with my favourite people - techies under Livewire! for Global Day of Prayer. Glad to have my sifu around this time too. The day before was Run for the Nation where people all over our country run for 5km and pray for our nation. :) The Klang Valley churches gathered to pray at Shah Alam, Stadium Malawati. It was probably the largest gathering of believers for a prayer meeting. It's great to witness the many people praying for our beloved nation. Looks like there is still hope here.

Livewire’s Charge Up! Conference 2010

This is the 5th year running of Charge Up! Conference - organised by Livewire! Can't quite count by number because in 2008 we had 2 conferences - 1 in KL and 1 in KK. I totally missed last year's conference at Penang. :(

This year, it is back in KL and held in Dream Centre for the 1st time.

I was serving in the "O" team this year. My task was simple. Just take care of the Hall 2's sound. That also meant I get to sit in for all the sessions held in that hall. Hehe. 3 sessions of PowerUp! and the other sessions were for photography.

Rev Sivin Kit was the speaker for all our Power Up! sessions - funny, geeky and real cool. His message were simple and very relevant for everyone. I like how he told us that we can sleep during his sermon! Probably the 1st pastor who gave such permission! Haha.

14th - 17th January 2010

This year marks the highest number of delegates ever and we are expecting even more next year. We had 5 streams this year - Live Sound, Photography, Video Production, Visual FX - Animation and a Pastors track.

It has been so encouraging to hear from different people about how much they have gained and grown since they were inspired at previous ChargeUp! conferences. If you are interested to attend, please mark the dates for next year's conference 17th - 20th February 2011. It will be held at Dream Centre again. :)

Livewire’s Charge Up! Conference 2008

24th-27th April 2008

This year, the conference is kinda different for me. I was a helper instead of a delegate like previous years. The conference was held at Life College. What is different compared to last year was, the church that used to meet at the college has moved…therefore, so did the instrument and sound system!!! My responsibility was to arrange for the sound system for the conference… how do you actually do such thing…? Favour from God lah. Thank God we had EC. He managed to secure the system and practically put the whole thing together. We did have some extra hands. Honestly if we didn’t get the unit from EC, I don’t know where on earth to find someone willing to loan us their equipment for a few days. Thank God also that we managed to get Alvin and Evie to loan their drums and keyboard. *whew*

LiveWire’s 2nd Media Conference – March 9th-11th 2007

This year’s workshop was quite specialized. It was on photography. The speaker was this guy we met at Planetshakers KK…Louis. It’s really great to learn the basics of photography…everyone came with their small digital camera, DSLR and very expensive lenses. Cool.

Planetshakers KL – 13th –15th Dec 2006

Another LiveWire Production. This is probably the one team that is made up of the most number of churches. We have media crew form Penang, SIBKL, DUMC, EaglePoint. Somehow everybody just work super well together. I mean, most of us don’t know each other until this. And the setup and set down were done extremely fast…honestly, we were very efficient! Hahaha. Sprained my ankle trying to get rid of “camera blockers”…ouch! And we have children church musical the next day! And I went to work on Monday! It swell like gila on Tuesday….and I got MC….ehehehe…but it was painful lah…somemore so uglyyyy…

Hillsongs United Live – Nov 2006

This was one of LiveWire’s project at SIB KL, and few of us from Dew have this great opportunity to be part of the camera crew. Quite cool.

LiveWire’s 1st Media Conference – 10th-13th March 2006

This was the first time LiveWire is conducting a conference. It received really good responses from different churches. We had like an express lesson on lights, sound and camera! Also had script writing and editing. We were so privilege to have industry experienced professionals to teach us. Our mentor was great too, guiding us on so many details. I think our team did pretty well; all of us were from different churches…different age groups! Think when God’s people come together….amazing things just happens!
