The other element that’s new in this room is the Main Screen.  Originally there were two 6×8 front projection screens flat against the walls (where the white curtains are now) but spread out from center a bit too far.
I wanted to incorporate the same idea for lyrics projection as we did in the Commons.  I [...]

This is our middle school room at Irving Bible Church.  We just setup environmental projectors in the room and I wanted to show another example of environmental projection; this time, in an even smaller room.  This is our third room to have architectural projection.  Very cool!  Hopefully you can see how it might work for you [...]

I’ve had a lot of questions recently about the Matrox TripleHead-2Go and DualHead; about where I got it and what it does.
I got mine on eBay for a great deal, new and unopened.  Normally though, you see them for $300 or so.
This little gem is an external box that tricks your computer in a way to thinking [...]

Whew.  I feel like a can finally breathe normal again.  Having to speak in public has always been my biggest fear.  (Remember I am supposed to be in the back of a room behind a console or three.)
It’s no coincidence that I read Mark Batterson’s (who was the first keynote) In a Pit with a Lion on a [...]

I could not agree more with this.  Especially in regards to what I do, and how I do it.  I see people all the time with amazing lighting and projection rigs, but don’t communicate anything with it. 
I’ve grown up in the production world with anything but the latest and greatest tools.  But, it has taught me how [...]

At times during worship when lyrics are up on the screen, do you ever feel inclined to look at the screen(s)? 
I know I do.  It’s like I’m watching and waiting for the next change…whether it be lyrics or imagery.  It feels like in society today we are so drawn towards a screen with “stuff” on [...]

Slightly off-topic:
When someone says “We are going to barbeque”, does that mean we are going to HAVE barbeque, or we are simply going to grill out?  Because one could GRILL barbeque; but one could also only be having burgers and hot dogs, but still CALL it a barbeque.  So complicated…

Wow!  As they say…there is nothing else like it.  I’m still blown away how talented, dedicated, disciplined, and creative the Chinese are.  They put on an incredibly beautiful display telling the story of their culture, both past and present. Their integration of technology with dance and movement was simply gorgeous, and dare I say, flawless?
And what about the [...]

I love old lighting fixtures. Ok, I love all lighting fixtures…
I picked this up on eBay a while ago from California, and thought it would cool to share.  (Shipping this from CA to TX wasn’t cheap by the way.)  It’s an old 10k Fresnel that was apparently used on Disney sets for years.  (That’s 10,000 watts, [...]
