Video Post-Production and Delivery: Part Three

In Extras, home_page, Web Articlesby tfwm

by John Chevalier and Bryan Cole

We end our series on video post-production and delivery, talking about storage and delivery of your content. Just like in the previous parts, how you intend to use your content will ultimately determine the delivery method, and storage that will work for you.

Have a Plan:

The biggest challenge I see with churches embarking on a video ministry for the first time, is that they don’t have a process as all. This is mostly because it started with a volunteer, and his or her personal rig (for shooting and editing.) It evolved into a team, but the source content became scattered. “Who has the clip of the guest speaker from last Sunday,” you ask? “Oh, that’s on Jeff’s computer – he’s out of town on business.” Of course, that’s the content that your pastor asked specifically for in this weeks’ video news segment.

Elite’s New 12 Volt Trigger Coordinates Projectors With its Electric Outdoor Screen

In Audio, home_page, Lighting, Product Newsby admin

Just in time for Summer – The ZOMS-TR12V wireless 12-volt trigger is a small device that coordinates your Yard Master Electric outdoor projection screen with the projector and no wires are required.  When the projector powers on, the wireless 12-volt trigger acts as a radio-frequency wireless remote and brings down the projection screen into the “open” position.  When the projector powers down, the trigger commands the screen to retract back into its casing.  This works with the Yard Master Electric outdoor projector screen which is IP33 certified for rain/water protection. Sizes are available up to 180”.

Bright Idea: Using Laser Projectors to Enhance Houses of Worship

In home_page, Lighting, Web Articlesby tfwm

by Rich McPherson

A house of worship’s purpose is to bring people together to share a positive message about faith, and when a facility is able to serve its members more effectively using technology, it translates to higher attendance and positive word-of-mouth – keeping current members coming back and encouraging new ones to join.

To meet these goals, many houses of worship constantly reevaluate their technology lineup to ensure it successfully engages the community and benefits the staff, and as new offerings hit the market, it’s important to understand the advantages of breaking away from the status quo.

Video Post-Production and Delivery: An Overview

In home_page, Web Articlesby tfwm

by John Chevalier

Let’s start with a quick definition of “Video on Demand”. Video on demand (VOD) is a system that allows users to select and watch video content when they choose to, rather than having to watch at a specific broadcast time. This can be available to people on some TV’s, computers, tablets and mobile phones.

Deciding what video you want to make available largely depends upon your intended audience. This series is not going to address this in detail; however, let me put a few things out there for you to consider. Possible video on demand for your church could include; complete services, partial services, such as a worship & music video or the pastor’s message only. Because people tend to not watch long programming online, you might want to create a service highlight video that has a link to the complete service. Other options are special videos highlighting any number of things, such as special services, information on specific ministries within the church or even short vignettes that communicate a certain message. The options are really endless.

Understanding Lens Mounts for HOW Broadcast

In home_page, Web Articlesby tfwm

by Drew Taylor

One aspect of broadcast ministry that can easily get overlooked when choosing a new video or digital film camera is the lens. For consumer video cameras, the lens is often fixed, so you don’t have much choice in the matter. For professional video or digital film cameras, a lens can make or break the project, but if you’re not careful it could also break the bank! The quality and optical clarity of the lens is paramount, but you also have to consider the type of lens mount your camera has, and whether or not you require a fixed lens or zoom lens.

Mark Hemingway, Director of Music & Worship, Trinity Lutheran Church

Trinity Lutheran Church was first formed in 1932, and moved to our current site in 1952, when the lower level of the present facility was built. Over the years, the structure changed as additions were built and remodeling occurred. With the completion of the Great Hall wing and several new classrooms in 2007, our church became better equipped to serve the ever-growing membership and ministry needs of our congregation. Our mission statement is to welcome all to worship joyfully, grow in faith and Serve near and far in Jesus’ name.
