New Zealand Creative Media Project 2009

For the second year now, our organization offered NZ students to take part in a creative media project. Last year, students spent their time and creative talents on making three short films that addressed relevant topics in current university culture. This past year, participants were split into two teams - one to revamp our ministry’s website, the other to launch a new “ministry” area known as GodMedia.
The following updates are taken from the newsletter update of Aaron Thomson, the Director of the Creative Media Project.


Reconstruction for Studentlife’s Website

“The website team had both designers and programmers chugging away to bring the fresh and funky new website to life. The site is now more integrated and user friendly, allowing both staff members and students access to the information and resources they need. It has a very interactive feel and will engage the visitor as they explore who Student Life is and learn about what a personal relationship with God looks like. Integration with campus specific Facebook, Twitter, Flicker and YouTube accounts has improved the ease of updating site material and contributes to a much more ‘alive’ atmosphere on the website. The majority of users will be immediately presented with campus relevant information and the campus location can be changed simply and easily with a couple of clicks. Check out the new URL, www.studentlife.org.nz”


The Inception of GodMedia




“GodMedia is the newest ministry of 'Tandem NZ' and the entity behind the tools we produced and developed on project. “God Media” will live on beyond the project as a collaboration of industry professionals across the creative disciplines of film, print design, software, and web development. The goal is to work together to create cutting edge tools that the wider Church can utilize to connect with those yet to discover the life changing experience of discovering Christ. Our goal is to deliver content free where ever possible. We developed a Gospel tool called God App, and a web based chat tool called God chat which can easily be embedded into any Christian website.
