Meet the Team - Media Team

Starting this quarter, we’re introducing a brand new section into our Newsletters, Meet the Team! In this section, we’ll dive into 1 team in the VTC each quarter, providing further insights into our operations and the various members of our Staff Team!

This quarter, we’re diving into the Media Team, looking at photography! We interviewed L4CHT4N from the Photography Division and you can find his responses below.

To start, could you introduce yourself?

“My name is L4CHT4N, I’m an 18 year old boy from the Czech republic in the heart of europe. I’ve been in the Media Team since February 2023, so around a year. I’m passionate for ETS2 but also for other games of similar type such as Farming Simulator, My Summer Car or even Counter-Strike 2 and sometimes GTA! My hobbies are quite simple, I love taking photos, doesn’t really matter if it’s in game or in real life! In real life photography, I prefer taking pictures of cars and trucks. I’m currently studying at a law focussed school and I hope that one day I will be a police officer in my beautiful country.”

What’s your main responsibilities in the Media Team?

“My main responsibility is to take pictures of trucks at our Prime Weekly Convoys, then process and edit them, and finally post them in our #prime-media channel on our Discord Server !”

What’s the usual process you go through after taking a photo in game to creating the finished image?

“I usually take so many pictures that I find it really hard to choose the best ones! However, I usually choose depending on the angle, lighting and how the trucks look. So, if you have a really nice looking truck, there’s a really nice chance of being in some of my photos!

I end up choosing around 5-6 pictures from all the ones taken. I start editing them using Adobe Photoshop 2023. Basically, the editing process is about changing the sky, cutting out the truck, and blurring the background. After that, I play with the picture using the “Camera Raw” filter in Photoshop, which allows me to do some colour-grading, adjusting the shadows, etc. When I’m happy with my result, I move on to the next picture and when finished with them all I post them to #prime-media.”

Could you show us one of your favourite photos you’ve taken?

“It’s really hard to choose just one! I chose this one because it's one of my most favourite!”

We hope you enjoyed this new addition to our Newsletter! In the next Newsletter, we’ll deep dive into another one of our Teams.

Department Updates

With an extensive staff team, Prime’s operations run smoothly. We’ll give you further updates from some of our departments below!

Management

What a start to the new year it has been!

Management has been focused on re-prioritising and completing our to-do backlog alongside going through all suggestions to get the ball rolling with some ideas! In this quarter, we held an internal survey for the staff team to identify ways that Management can improve to ensure Prime can be the best it can be. We have been working on handling internal changes and improving our activity within Management alongside new targets for us to aim for, following the results of our internal survey.

We had our first Management change in over a year in February where, sadly, Branko departed the Management team and VTC, due to lack of time. We thank Branko for his 2+ years of service in Management and who has been in the VTC since December 2018! Following Branko's departure, we began internal processes to fill the vacancy of Chief Marketing Officer. After receiving numerous interest and going through interview stages, we had a difficult decision to make as there were many great candidates but chose to proceed with Rider, our new Chief Marketing Officer since March 19th! We are grateful to have someone passionate and dedicated to Prime Logistics and can’t wait to see what she does.

That's about it for what we can share this quarter! We have some big projects internally that we are still cooking up which we hope to give you some insight in soon!
