Moving Forward

Jon & I met on Friday afternoon. Below are the results of that meeting. Jon, please correct or add anything I messed/missed. Everyone else, please give your thoughts/ concerns.

The main thrust of the meeting was 'yes, Larry is right. Let's get going and 'fix' it later. What do we need to do to make this happen in some form?'

Sunday, June 18 test:
Audio:
Next Friday afternoon at 3pm, Jon and I are going to add a couple congregation mics and split the wireless mic so it is getting sent to two separate places. Our audio discussion envisions the tv audio board getting a direct feed of the wireless mic and 3 house mics (the current parabolic plus 2 more). Then there would be a feed from the current audio board of the worship team and audio from media shout. This allows separate control of the main mic, group singing sound (as opposed to the leader sounding like he is singing a solo), and 1 source for the other audio (as opposed to splitting all the audio sources).

Lighting:
Next Friday we will also mess with the lighting. We will start with killing the eliptical lights and use the others for more even lighting over the whole stage area.

Camera:
We will also set up a camera (perhaps two, if we borrow one). We will record straight to camera(s), with the above-mentioned audio coming from the board into the camera.

Note:
The Sunday Test comment above is that these will be used and recorded on Sunday. This will be second service on Father's Day. Jon is running audio that service. I can not be there. It would be nice to have a camera operator, if someone is available.

Other thoughts:
-I meet with Access FW on Wednesday.
-We have discussed having a short vignette as part of the program that highlights a ministry. Jon would like to see a DVD that has a welcome, then about 5 of those vignettes. This could be delivered to a number of people in the neighborhood.
-Doug will send a report to the deacons this month, then hopefully meet with them next month. At that time, thanks to our tests and meeting with Access FW, we will have a better idea of what we need now.

Besides the note about wanting a camera operator for next Sunday, if anyone is available and wants to come help Friday at 3, you are welcome. I don't think there will be a bunch to do, but you are more than welcome.

Thanks for reading through all this. Let us know what thoughts you have.

Doug

I'll see what I can do about being there on Fri. but Sun. is definitely out, that why Jon is doing sound. Eventually when the camera's are hooked to a switcher, we could use camera mounted mics for room sound also. They could possibly use the camera mounted mic for initial recordings also, since everything should be heard through the sanctuary anyhow.
