First week in Tennant Creek

Its 2am after 13 hours ride from Darwin and finally I am here to Tennant Creek. Thanks to Alan provided his place for me to stay for few days. Alan bring me for a short tour around Tennant Creek, it is a very small town but its much better than I expect. My first visit at Barkly Regional Arts and get to meet the staffs here. Alan gaves me a brief about my job scope and tasks, I signed the contract after understanding and read the terms and condition.

Adrian, the manager of Winanjikari music centre shows me around WMC, it is a big music practice space for band to learn and jam, and theres a recording studio beside. I have been introduced to a few aboriginal musicians after seeing their jamming sessions. They did a sound recording as well and will send it down to Sydney for mastering. Adrian gaves me the link of WMC blog which updates week http://winanjjikarimusiccentre.blogspot.com.au/.

I am lucky to have an Imac to use for my work which is similar as my own, had a look through the media folder which in the media external harddrive, theres plenty of pictures and videos which previously taken by different people. I have met Emma, the Youth Arts Manager, and been told to assist her for shooting at Tennant Creek Primary School on the next day.

I had a great time doing video shotting at Tennant Creek Primary School, its about the kids doing wall painting with the artist. They kids here were very interested to do arts and creative in it. They took sprays to create pictures outline and some of them fill up with different colours. It took about 2 hours to finish up the wall. I work on the editing part the next day using Final Cut Pro and will be uploaded on my vimeo.
