After two years of creating quality content as eight20eight, they decided to change their name. Now known as Soul Refinery, they will continue to create quality media that they hope will ignite the heart and refine the soul. To celebrate the change and launch of soulrefinery.com, they are giving away two free Christmas motion loops. While [...]
I was never really a Packers fan, but I have always been a Brett Favre fan. I think the Packers did him wrong and should have let him come back after all his years there – but that’s another story. It has been sweet this year to watch Brett (now playing for the Minnesota Vikings) [...]
My friend, Don Chapman, just shared about his experience of looking for an inexpensive video solution. Here’s his latest article: Video is the wave of the future – and here’s how your church can inexpensively get in on the action. Since YouTube and other video sites have exploded over the past few years I’ve wanted [...]
Last week I took my wife on a date to see U2 at the new Cowboys Stadium. Here are some pictures from that show. The following was a cool spotlight rig that held 3 people up in the air. There were 4 of these. The following is a look at their speaker arrays. The sound [...]
Last night I took my two oldest kids with me to see the Dallas Cowboys practice in their new stadium. They had a night practice open to the public (around 25,000 people x $10 for parking – you do the math). It’s hard to describe the video screen that hangs over the field – it’s [...]
After many recommendations and honestly waiting too long (I’ve just been really busy – see my last post), I finally went this weekend to see Slumdog Millionaire. WOW! – is all I can say. What a work of art. ART. Beauty, love, raw, powerful, intense, cool music, shot very well, gripping – the best movie [...]
At Bent Tree, we’ve got a busy Fall coming up. As part of what all we have going on, we’ve been working on 2 in-house video projects, as well as a few smaller pieces and outsourcing several things that we couldn’t fit in. The 2 we’re working on now are a baptism highlight video for [...]
For those of you that haven’t got to spend too much time with me: my facial hair is always changing. I get bored. Lazy. Bored and lazy. I go from clean-shaven (always with the “soul patch“) to beard to full goatee to just the Crowder goatee, etc. It’s always changing. Again, mainly because I rush [...]
Each week I get phone calls and emails from church members and visiting Church leaders asking where we get our backgrounds that we used during worship. Obviously, I have access to a ton of media and we use a number of products from companies that I’ve blogged about before, but one company we keep using [...]
I’m getting in after a 17 hour day, so I’ll make this brief (yes, I write my blogs the night before): We are looking at purchasing a new HD camera for our video ministry. This is not a studio camera – this will be used for in-house video projects, interviews, etc. If you were buying [...]
