Video Tip

If your video production booth does not have a direct view of the auditorium, set up an inexpensive camera and monitor as an "over view" shot. This gives the director/switcher a birds eye view of what is going on, not just what he is seeing from the cameras. You will miss fewer shots when you can see where the cameras cant.

What is this madness???

Let me take the time to introduce myself. I have been known as John David Boreing for 22 years. I have been involved in A/V since the 6th grade and church tech since the 9th grade. I have been at three churches as a volunteer. The first my home church I was one of two techs who handled EVERYTHING for 6 1/2 years. Second church (while in college) I ran house mix, cameras and switched video some, for 1 year. I am now (first job town) filling the role of volunteer tech director and work with our staff media director.
I have a passion for tech and God. I have wanted to start some type of outlet to help other church techs for some time now. I hope the site will cover everything from cameras and mics to shepherding of volunteers and managing time with spouses and family. The format will likely be a blog for a while, I hope to add forums, resource lists and anything else that will be of use.

If there is something you would like to see on the site shoot me an email: johndavid@churchtechhelp.com
