simple video staging
for years i’ve been blown away by creative and engaging video staging setups. if you are new to the idea of “video staging”, think of it simply as adding screens (or any type of video display) to a stage/platform, going beyond the typical setup of one/two screens for displaying lyrics and iMAG/backgrounds. you can get extremely creative with video staging; it serves as a great backdrop as well as a great way to bring the visual element more into the experience that the worship team is facilitating.
i recently got to work with the amazing teams at LifeWay & Technical Innovation on Beth Moore’s Living Proof Live conference in San Antonio. usually on an “end stage” setup, we have a large center screen framed by trussing. this time, we decided to take it up a notch and produce a 3-screen setup.
we accomplished this by simply adding two extra projectors & screens, plus a nifty little device by Matrox called the TripleHead2Go. i simply used my MacBook Pro (running ProVideoPlayer)….set my resolution to 3072 x 768 … and outputted to the TripleHead2Go … which split out directly to the 3 projectors. some content i custom created for this resolution…but most of my loops were either set at 800×600 or 1280×720 …so i had to live with a widened image… but honestly it still looked great to a sea of 10,000 women!
