First Baptist Church in Coppell, Texas has one the most incredible displays of environmental projection yet!  Using 5 projectors, we were able to create a seamless image, 30′ tall, 180-degrees around.  Stand anywhere in the room, and your entire peripherally vision is covered with imagery.
Some members of the church commented after being used for the first time on Sunday.  [...]

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving; I spent the week in the mountains of Colorado at Horn Creek Family Camp.  Simply beautiful.  What a humble reminder of who we serve.

 
I brought a projector (or three) just in case there was a chance to do some environmental projection.  I ended up just using one for movie [...]

You can see the center screen masked out, the steps, all the doors, as well as the stage and cloud above it.  It turned out great!
 

 
 
 

 

This is one of the most cost-effective, widest, most amazingly beautiful displays of environmental projection in a church yet…stay tuned for final pictures!

 In process of mask-mapping.  This shows only 2/3rds of the projection.

I can’t wait until I can use a few of these.

I have some more thoughts and questions regarding tech during worship/in the Church:
 
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the main reason for choosing to do IMAG (live video of people on large screens) is the room size…if you have a large room, you want IMAG to bring the congregation closer to the people on stage.   [...]

Now this is what’s I’m talking about!  Make the stage an instrument!  I want Nine Inch Nail’s visual system…
Watch this video.

Matrox contacted me recently about wanting to do a story on how I’m using their TripleHead2Go. 
I love when companies like this take notice of how their gear is being used.

I’ve always wanted to project on my own house; so tonight I went to the backyard and ran through some imagery.  I’m sure the neighbors loved it…especially when I projected jumpbacks of fireworks all over the neighborhood.  I even had a little snow.

Please excuse the Photoshop skills, or lack thereof.  [...]
