New Video Piece

I shot this promo piece for our upcoming Easter musical. I used my Canon XH A1 and the Redrock Micro with Nikon Lenses. I also used a simple 3 piece light kit with 2 1K's and a 650w.

Let me know what you think!!

Short Takes is out!

Everything went smoothly with the release.  I hope we get feedback and topics to do!!  I would love to be able to afford the bandwidth to host our own HD feed, but Vimeo will work for now!!

Compression???

I have been struggling to find the right mix in Apple's Compressor.  We record everything in HDV and are trying to spit out a HD option for our podcast.  I have been looking around the web and have found some sites using a 960x540 and calling it HD.  It's not really HD... but it looks good enough for me!  

We will see how it goes.

New Addition for ChurchyMedia

Since it is the Age Of Video (and that is my passion) it makes sense to add video to ChurchyMedia. We have converted our dedicated Home Theater room as the shoot location.  

It's a simple setup with one softbox, a table, black backdrop, and a reflector.  We are going to call the features "short takes" 2 minute or less takes on new media topics.  It should be fun!  We are recording several back to back this Fri. and we are building a do it yourself teleprompter.  (You have no idea how many takes I need just to get through a 2 min. piece).  I'll keep you posted on the D-I-Y project. Pics to come
