That day, I went home after the Re-Freshers' Fayre and immediately uploaded my clips onto my computer so I could begin editing the film.  The software on my computer was just a standard version of Windows Movie Maker, and its capabilities were extremely limited in comparison to the software I had been using on the computers at university, but after the success of my digital camera, I decided there was little point in me waiting until I was back at university to edit the film.  Besides, I was far too excited to wait.

I edited the video the best I could and uploaded it to the YouTube channel, and the response I got was fantastic.  Paul and the rest of the Media Group team were enthused that RGU:TV had finally uploaded its first video. I regretted waiting so long to build a team when I was capable was making the video on my own, and I knew I couldn't do it alone forever, but I was motivated that my video had engaged people to hopefully become involved too.

Over the next few months, I continued to produce videos on my own.  With its increasing presence, RGU:TV started to receive requests from other societies asking us to film events they were holding.  This provided great opportunities for us and it was exactly the sort of thing that I wanted RGU:TV to cover.  I'd always had a vision of RGU:TV producing a 'Society of the Week' programme, and, although this was not going to be achievable at such an early stage, it looked positive for the future as other societies were acknowledging us.

I filmed a video for the Nassau Business Society with the help of another RGU:TV member, who asked if we would cover an event they were holding. I also produced a video of the charity bungee jump held by RGU:RAG on my own which was very enjoyable to film.  Both videos, although short, received a great response and added to our gradually growing catalogue or programmes.

As the requests continued to come in, it quickly became apparent that I was going to need a bigger team in order to fulfill them all.
