Now that you have your technical teams in gear and have all of the technical tools that you need to begin the journey of supporting the word of God, your next question is; "now...what do I do with all of this?" This class will concentrate on answering that very question by helping you begin to build specific "greenlighting teams" and "programming teams" to come up with content for your services and team responsibilities. Also discussed will be non-negotiable service elements, themed services, numerous ideas using audio, video, lighting and staging systems and finally, how to bring it all together with SOP's, service scripts, stage plots, rehearsals and evaluating your work. This class is great for the church that is just beginning this journey using technical tools to churches that are well on there way with these tools looking for different ideas and ways to continue to build better services.

Whether working with an existing video system or building one, it’s critical to be able to communicate to senior pastor and leadership team the impact different format choices will have to their worship experience and how they can re-use production media. This class will help you to build an appropriate infrastructure for the video system that meets current needs and is expandable for future needs.

We will describe to you the various formats of video from Analog to HDTV and discuss how these different formats impact picture quality.
