Project 365 – Day 11

I’m a volunteer video camera guy at church once or twice a month.  Video is nothing like still photography, but that’s a story for another time.

One of the things I’ve gained from this experience the past couple of years is learning just what it takes to put on a professional production.  Having a view from behind the scenes has taught me that it requires lots and lots of advance creative planning and readiness, much of which I don’t have personal insight into.  Then on “game day,” it takes many technicians and artists, each with their own important role which makes the whole larger than the sum of its parts.  It’s truly amazing how dedicated and gifted the tech team and talent volunteers are.  All of them generate excellence in the name of producing a series of Sunday services that bring people a more meaningful and relevant worship, yet without the production becoming the object itself.  Today, a central part of the theme was “vintage.”  I was able to grab this unique perspective of a vintage quartet rehearsing.
