Worship Summit Live to Offer a Full Day of Church Production Education

In home_page, Industry Newsby admin

Reach and inspire worship audiences like Kanye West and Joel Osteen. Worship Summit Live will be held Friday, Jan. 24, 2020, to offer a full day of education to those engaged in technologies for houses of worship. The completely virtual summit will bring together church production experts who will lead instruction on the best communications and audiovisual tools for houses of worship to better connect with the communities they serve.

“We are excited to bring together some of the top minds in church production for a full day of education,” says Worship Summit Live founder and organizer Paul Richards. “I have long been a fan of Jake Gosselin’s work at Churchfront, and I’m excited to share his and other’s insights into the best ways to use innovative technologies to build stronger faith communities.”

Richards says he was motivated to create Worship Summit Live to enhance churches’ capabilities of staying in touch with those in their communities who can’t attend church each week. Technologies such as live streaming can make church possible for those who are bed-ridden or otherwise unable to attend church,” he added.

After the release of his book, “Helping Your Church Live Stream,” Richards has continued to help churches with production technology. He will be giving away free PDF copies of his book on the Worship Summit Live web site.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a trivia game, with the chance to win a PTZoptics live streaming camera. Tickets to Worship Summit Live are now available.

Produce High Quality Weekly Content to Keep Your Congregation Updated  & Engaged with “One Button Studio”

In Audio, Audio Industry News, Audio Product News, home_page, Industry Newsby admin

If you are short-staffed and relying on volunteers, it can be tough to produce high quality, weekly content to keep your congregation updated and engaged. Not every house of worship has the budget for a full-time video producer. Now, for a fraction of the cost, you have the option of automating your video production with the One Button Studio.
Each One Button Studio kit comes 90% assembled and includes everything you need to turn a small room into an automated recording studio. We’re talking lights, microphone, camera, monitors & capture hardware. Yet, it’s so simple to use, you don’t need to know anything about video production.
Installation is simple too, because we designed this kit to integrate easily into a small office space or conference room. We include hardware for mounting the lights and microphone to a typical drop-ceiling. And the whole system operates on a single power outlet, so there is no need to call in an electrician.
Imagine walking into a room with a PowerPoint and a thumb drive, then walking out fifteen minutes later with a completely finished video. This is the power of the One Button Studio! (+Plus version required for presentation integration.)
