Thank You Festival Volunteers!
Posted: 06/09/2009
Thank you to all who helped make GRTV's maiden voyage of the new media lab a success at this year's Festival of the Arts. Thank you for standing on shaky scaffolding, operating a camera on the scissor lift during 25 mph winds, directing for the first time, scrambling during a short rain shower, and making sure the graphics were spelled correctly! Without you, GRTV's 30 hours of taping would not have been possible.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
