JUST ADDED

Well, we are 21 days out from <a href="http://www.willowcreek.com/events/arts/2008/index.html" mce_href="http://www.willowcreek.com/events/arts/2008/index.html">ARISE</a>.  Our teams are working fast & furiously to prepare a place where God can speak, where we can grow and meet new people. 

I am glad for the 21 days but I can’t wait for 9:00 am Wednesday, June 11 when we kick off the conference.  God has been working through the hundreds of people contributing to the conference to create some awesome opportunities and some incredible moments.

As usual some of our plans change and that is a good thing because of the other good things that come up. <span class="fullpost"> Like Copyright Basics!  We just added this class.  Cheryl Besenjak is currently the Copyright Director for Willow Creek Community Church.  She has over 20 years of experience in the area of copyright. She is the founder and former Director of The Permissions Group. Cheryl has developed and published CopyRights©, a national newsletter and is the author of Copyright Plain and Simple, published by Career Press.

One other note, not on–line yet but coming soon, Secrets of Successful Sound-for-Picture by Jon Tatooles.  Jon is co-founder and Managing Director of <a href="http://www.sounddevices.com/" mce_href="http://www.sounddevices.com/">Sound Devices</a>, LLC.   This session will look at a variety of techniques for gaining control of audio while out on a shoot. You'll walk through the steps necessary for achieving quality audio, everything from mic placement to gain setup. In this hands-on class, you'll also be given the chance to experiment with audio equipment, and learn how to get the best audio quality to improve your production.  We are really excited that Jon is coming!  If you are interested send me an email and I will let you know as soon as it is posted on-line, howellp@willowcreek.org. </span>
