If so, I know it can seem to be an almost insurmountable challenge when you think about the cost of technology. But, that’s why I’m here to give you some valuable insider tips on How to Begin a Quality TV Broadcast without Bursting Your Budget.
This is a great time to tell you more about my PASSION. It all started in 1999 back in Nashville, when I was a reporter/anchor for the CBS affiliate, WTVF. My then videographer (Chris O’Neal) and I decided to start a production company geared towards the faith-based community.
Back then we would cringe in the newsroom, as we glanced at the television screen and saw a Pastor speaking with such great power, while his media representation was sub par. IT WAS EMBARRASING! So embarrassing that a righteous indignation rose up in me and I KNEW IMMEDIATELY that I had the ability, skills, knowledge and creativity to make a difference!
Just watching television sporadically while in the newsroom week after week, gave me the opportunity to see just how many Pastors really needed help with their media vision but apparently didn’t know where to begin. That’s when God gave me a vision and a strategy on how to assist churches across the world with the media ministry outreach.
How did you I get started?
One great man of God who knew I could make a difference as well, was my then spiritual mentor and Pastor, Bishop Joseph Warren Walker III, Pastor of Mt. Zion Nashville. He encouraged me to move forward with the vision and was our very first client.
First we did 3 commercials for the ministry when it was right at 10 thousand members and transitioning to worshipping at TSU’s Gentry Center. Then he asked us to take over post-production of the ministry broadcast. We started by creating a show open, close and graphics and editing the broadcast every week. Then next thing you know, we were creating a new site.
From 1999 to early 2005 D&C continued to produce a great deal of the ministry TV production and outreaches for Mt. Zion Nashville, until the ministry was able to transition into doing everything in house. Along the way, we were nominated for Emmys and have won some great awards and recognition. Even now, if you listen to the end of the ministry broadcast, you will hear my voice over work.
Although that era is over, I am honored that I played a significant role in building this tv ministry. Take a look at one of my past demo reels that highlights some of my initial media projects while living in Nashville, Tennesse.
On this tv ministry tips blog, I will tell you some of the trade secrets I have learned throughout my 17 years in the television industry. But more specifically, I will give you a true glimpse at how to start your ministry media broadcast without bursting your budget. I will start by using excerpts from my FREE ebook, THE ABC’s OF BROADCAST TV: How To Begin a Quality TV Broadcast Without Bursting Your Budget
I will also take the time to "show & tell" how we have helped and continue to help churches and ministries with their media efforts. Also, be sure to tune in to my online blogcast channel, Dwann & Company Radio.
If you ever have a question about your ministry media efforts, please email me and I'll answer them and post them here. For now, take a look at some of our recent work from the last year:
