Thanks so much for taking your time to encourage others to improve the house of the Lord for His praise! This is awesome! Praise God!
Love this video. I see a lot of places where the lighting team really has their hand in a lot of stuff. I'm hoping my church follows suit for my lighting ministry.
Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to share!
Good morning GOOD MORNING AND THANKS FOR YOUR EMAIL for your church
I do production for church on the move and at 8:02 thank you for mentioning us when you were talking about the band side lights.
It’s good to have you! If you binge this channel, you’ll notice many references to COTM. Lots of inspiration to be found up I-44!
11:07 "Oh, that's me..." 😂
Great Tour.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love it
Id love to see a floorpan of your church!
Oh Brother, this is just amazing.. Thanks for sharing with us! Im from a small city in Brazil and Ive always dreamd to build a church like this, with all this equipment and organization.. I dont think its going to be real someday because god's purpose, but awesome to imagine how it would be to have all this resources you guys have. Thanks for doing something so entertaining..
Dream big Oliver! Thanks for watching...
We run the Chauvet Colorstrips also. We found that if we run our camera at a frame rate of 50 the flicker goes away.
Thx Chad! That's a good thought. I might mention that to our media/tech pastor.
Love it!
This looks very similar to our church auditorium, Crossroads Fellowship in Odessa Texas.
Cool! I might have to visit if I'm down that way...
I have mixed emotions seeing this. On one hand this is awesome and shows how much is involved in putting on the production for the congregation every Sunday. On the other hand I am sad to see the simple church go by the wayside where parishioners gather together in humble obedience to honor God. No glitz, no flashing lights, no sound mixers. Just the temple itself with maybe a piano and an organ. But hey this is the 21st century. Got to keep up with the times.
Exoress Delivers I get the first 2 (no glitz, no flashing lights) but I do think sound mixers are important to the church. How are people in the back of the church going to hear what the speaker is saying all the way in the front.
Is this like a fellowship hall or parish hall -- where's the church?
Did anyone notice a tonal or audio quality change when you swapped out your audio consoles? Is design work on systems done in house or do you have a favorite consultant or A/V Contractor? Based on how the room/background noise increased in your mic when you went into the "Green Room" I have to believe your sanctuary is acoustically very well behaved, am I correct?
Sir, can i ask something? What kind of projector you use in your church?
Looking at building a new auditorium at our church in Texas. What is your seating capacity? What is your average attendance? I ask because I’m curious about your percentage of building utilization. We are doing some studies on this for our planning purposes. Thanks in advance!
I am no longer at this church, but the seating capacity is 1200 (800 on the floor, 400 in the stadium seating). However, average attendance is around 550 in all areas of the building.
Hey is there anyway that you get the person who set up the machines running propresenter to tell us how it's all setup? What I'm looking for is a way to display lyrics on our live stream feed just the way you do as a lower third. I'm curious how you guys have it setup. I believe this will help me understand what additional things I might need for my church.
You didn't show the projector
Yes, I know! I got distracted!
How do you guys mix audio for your live stream? Is it just stereo out on the board + the audience mics?
Are the MP3s on your site just pulled from the live stream audio or do you upload them separately?
Awesome video, what kind of flooring do you have on your stage? It didn't look like Masonite or stagelam. Exploring our options for our church stage.
It's just a black tile... 12"x12" squares
Why would you put your wireless receivers at foh? You would have less chance for rf issues if they are closer to the transmitters on stage.
Mark, that’s a solid point. I’ve definitely ran sound at venues and put the receivers on the stage for that exact reason. In this room, RF issues haven’t been an issue and keeping the receivers at FOH allow you to troubleshoot (i.e. do I need to have the stage manager tell the talent to unmute their pack before they go up).
@@practicalworship By the way the hanging cardboard stage background is pure genius. It reflects the light color and gives the stage depth and texture. Good job!
How would you handle a guitar player who would prefer to play with something like a Kemper or a Helix that they've purchased?
In our situation, our players play our back line. We try and be upfront about this during the on boarding process and really help people to see the “why” behind it. That said, we try and make sure our players that have really invested in the ministry have opportunities to speak into what the backline is.
Sir. I'm just very curious...
How much is the cost for the building and facilities alone? Not including all instruments, lights and sounds etc...
Thank you very much!
That building I think appraised for 8-9 million...
Nice video thanks for sharing Dave got a question around 5 minutes in what are the circle things hanging on the stage
The set design? They're just cardboard pieces die-cut into circles, then hung with fishing line.
Practical Worship thanks for the quick response, I actually have about 50 can light trim ring circles that are extra left over and was thinking about hanging those with fishing line. Thanks again keep the videos coming.
Yes, that would work beautifully! The circles is by far my favorite set design we've done. We don't have it any more, and I miss it...
Practical Worship, David have you done a video on your light dimmers and light controller dmx board just curious trying to get into that myself.
What setup (equipment or apps) are your techs using to communicate behind the scenes?
It's mainly just your basic 10-year-old wired comm system. We've been experimenting with some iPods that wirelessly tie into the comm system (I forget the name of the app at the moment), but they've been a bit finicky and we mainly just use the iPods as a "this camera is live" light.
hows the room acoustics we have a similiar one plenty of echo hope to get a x32 and do the pink noise to eq it
That room is pretty lively, but the main FOH engineer does a great job tuning the PA to the room.
Really interested in the audience Mics
Hey TRON x! Here's a video where I talk about them a little bit more and how they fit within the broadcast mix. ruclips.net/video/sLK6hUGoh-Y/видео.html
Are you doing wired IEM for your instrumentalists? If so, how do your guitars deal with two cables?
We use Elite Core headphone extensions, which can hang on your back pocket or your belt. So you don't even really feel the IEM connection. You just have to remember you have a tail when it's time to walk away... ;)
Practical Worship so they don't trip over the extra cable?
Not really. In fact, I played bass last weekend with the instrument cable and the Elite Core cable hanging off my back and I didn't really think about cable management when I was playing. The only time it was an issue is sometimes I would step back and step on the cables.
I'd imagine your guys aren't moving around much during service. We're a Christian rock band, and as such we do a lot more movement than in church.
I'm working on having a cable built with guitar and IEM in one cable. That way, I can hang the Elite Core box on my guitar strap, plug in there, and it shouldn't feel much different than not having an IEM cable at all (other than basically having to plug IEM into my guitar). We're hoping to have everything in next week for our first rehearsal and gig with IEM!
That's exactly what I was gonna suggest... to build a cable that handles both the guitar and the IEMs. That can be as simple as taking the two cables and zip-tying them together. That's a solid option. Best of luck dude!
the side screen, are they LED or projectors
Clinton Providence They are projectors...
How do you guys use those ipods to communicate between your team?
There's an app that we run that connects with a box that's time into our comm system. I forget the name of the app/system, but when I figure it out I can share that with you.
Wow what is that snare ?
It's an 8x14 Gretsch maple snare. It's deep and cuts through the mix SO well!
Thanks so much for these videos wow love them all
Jesus would have spent that money on the poor.
Would he have, or would he invest into bringing people in, that will bring back that money as well as new people? Sucking up to the poor is not how you grow the kingdom of god, the lost will be found, not the poor will be rich.
@@egg6649 He had a low view of money changers, and selfish misers like you.
What is your stage floor material?
George Seders It’s black tile squares
Did you go through a carpeting company or something else? The reason I ask is I am looking in to changing our stage flooring.
George Seders I’m not sure. I wasn’t there when they built the building. But I do believe it’s just plain old tiles-like what you’d buy from a flooring company.
Practical Worship okay! Thanks Steve!
2 12 TO 2 16 WHAT HAPPEN ON THE WALL
That's just a brick wall. I think the camera was playing tricks on our eyes...
Why
Cause..
Jesus
Why so big
When the building was built ten years ago, the church was busting at the seams at the previous location in terms of the amount of people attending and serving within the church.
