We’re beyond excited for this high-energy event! Join us right here over the weekend to share the experience of live television broadcast! We’ll be posting videos straight from the Izod Center, inviting you behind the scenes and into the lives of our interns, as we continue to… sculpt our craft, work right alongside tv professionals, and make a HUGE difference in the NY area now!

The Most Rewarding Moment

        One of the best things about being able to come to ATF as a CCMer, is to watch the crowd’s lives changed by one of the videos you’ve made.

Guaranteed, it’s not the actual video itself, that is the life-changer, but instead God uses it as an instrument to get through to the hearts of these teens.

I stood at the back of the arena, as one of the videos I had written, was played, and hearing the reaction from the audience brought me so much joy!

But even better than that, was to be able to be a part of the Ministry Moment. I could not help but tear up, as hundreds of teens came forward to surrender their life to God.

Coming to ATF as a CCMer, always brings the reason for my work into perspective. And yes, I had a ton of fun creating and writing those videos, but to be able to be used by God to win the hearts of thousands of teens, is the most rewarding thing I have ever done.

It is humbling, and it reminds how much more fulfilling it is to create something for the Eternal Kingdom, rather than for my own selfish gain.

Editing: What it Takes

Throughout the course of the weekend, one of CCM’s skilled editors create a piece showcasing everything that happened this weekend.

This editor receives all of the footage that is gathered throughout the weekend by the several crews. This weekend, the editor happens to be Nicky. She has been working hard to make sure that the very best stories are being represented.

She has a very talented assistant named Lloyd getting her all of the footage onto her computer so that she won’t have to worry about anything going wrong.

Look out for the final piece on YouTube at the end of this weekend!

Producers: Asking All Those Questions

Some of the best producers are often required to asked to go out and interview strangers. In CCM, it is not different at all.

Our very own Alyssa is one of the top producers at CCM, and this weekend, she is asking about each attendees experience. This is a hard job, getting the best story can often be hard, especially when you’ve never met the person.

She has the skilled Elena doing great work on the camera. Each of them bring important elements to making a great interview. One without the other, and you wouldn’t have the heart felt story that every Lifetime movie needs.

While the work for Alyssa may be hard, it is one of the most rewarding feelings to know that you did the best you could.
