We are searching for the copyright to have a movie night on the seminary campus. CVLI offers this kind of licensing for churches, but can’t offer the same license for seminaries. The license that they offer for churches is very good. It covers most producers and gives the church freedom to show movies in [...]

Backup people
December 14th, 2007 · No Comments
We often think about backup equipment. What would we do if a projector bulb blew. Is there another on the shelf? If the laptop died, do I have a copy of my presentation that I could put on another machine?
Tonight I had to fill in for a person. He received a call that his father [...]

Don’t Crash

I’ve seen it so many times. A technical distraction takes the speaker into a different world. I remember filming a class when a professor’s laptop died. He forgot his power supply and ran it off the battery. When his laptop shut off, so did he.

Most of the images that I am using have a background. But with [...]

It drives me CRAZY to see churches that spend so much time and energy on their Sunday services - only to offer it to those who are in the building!
Podcasting is so easy and affordable that there is no excuse! Record your service on a computer, convert it into an MP3 or MP4 - and [...]

Where can I purchase good illustration videos?
December 10th, 2007 · No Comments
I often speak to churches and individuals that have more creativity than skill. They have these great ideas for church illustration videos, but they don’t have any technical ability to produce them. Most don’t understand that a good video could take 20+ hours per second of finished product.
Go to these sights - pay a [...]
