This past weekend, I got to cover the tech booth as "Video Lead" for Brian again. I also got to edit the sermon video and post it on the internet. Take a look below.

For those of you who didn't know, I filled in for Brian being the producer at Allison Park Church this past weekend. One of my objectives was to edit and post the sermon video onto Vimeo. You can check out the video HERE!

A Huge Success!!!

As you can tell by this weeks APC Minute, Kidz Kaboom was a huge success. We had over 300 Kids on the Campus over the week and over 1oo youth and adult volunteers this week. I had the chance to work with some amazing people along with my producer Brian Lippert. He is an amazing man of God and loves doing what he does. I love him with a passion and he will continue to do great things. But every year we do something called a penny weigh. If the Girls win, Joe Schafer gets a pie in his face. If the boys win, his wife Rachael gets a pie in the face. Here was the out come.

It Finally Happens this Week!

Finally! One of my favorite productions of the year here at Allison Park Church is happening this week. That one is also known as Kidz Kaboom. Close or over 400 elementary and pre-school kids will be on the APC Campus during the week, and over 100 teen helpers will be on site to assist them. What happens during Kidz Kaboom is in the morning there are camps that the kids attend (art, basketball, martial arts, cooking, dance, cheerleading, and obviously the pre-school camp for the pre-schoolers). Then in the afternoon, there is a high energy service that takes place featuring worship, games, story, scripture memorization, multi-media, and soooooo...much more! That's where tech ministries comes into play. In order to make it high energy, we want to bring in equipment that will make the service (rally) look both good, inspirational, and freakin awesome all at the same time. Sunday afternoon till the wee hours of Monday morning (if it takes us till 2am, we'll be there) is the set up in the sanctuary. I will try to update from there at some point with some pics of what's happening so far.

Ignite 2010 Tech

This past Thursday (before you ask, yes I am out of school) I had a great opportunity to really go out on my tech ministries. I helped with the Tech Booth for Ignite 2010 Round table. This was held by Allison Park Church and the MCM Network and we had atleast 100 different pastors and leaders from all over the country and in Pittsburgh. I saw some great friends like Rich Jones, Greg Krowits, Brian Bolt, and so many more. It was a fun day and there was extremely good Chinese Food :). Okay, so now that I talked about that, here's the latest Worship Videos for Crosstown I've been working on.

This Guy is a Beast

Today as I was sitting in Brian Lippert's office, and he was showing me this website of a guy who does insane After Effects. His name is Barton Damer, and he is awesome at this. You can see one of his works here below.

My ProPresenter Tutorial

Recently they just released the beta version of ProPresenter for Windows. I just so happened to download it today and test it out. And I also thought it would be cool to make a little on screen tutorial video showing how it all works. Check it out.

It's Official

It is now official that APC is now live streaming our services to the internet. Every Sunday, you can catch us at allisonparkchurch.com/livestrem. Here's the video from last week's message by Pastor Jeff

Thanks for the Shout Out Brian!

Go to 6:15 and you'll know what I mean

What Happens at Upward Awards Night

Well honestly, I don't know what happens at Upward Awards Night. Except, well there's awards. I should get a better Idea of what happens. All I know of is that there's pics that are playing during pre-service, there's live cam involved, a guy by the name of Nel Creman will be there, and I am one of only 3 people who will be in the Tech booth. The two other people I will be working with are Andy Eble and Pastor Gregg Jacobs (I posted about him a couple of weeks ago.) Okay, off topic now, I thought I'd share last weeks APC Minute. It has some Winter Retreat testimonies. Check it out.

ProPresenter finally for Windows!

Hey I wrote a song "Oh Happy Day, happy day, THEY FINALLY HAVE PROPRESENTER FOR WINDOWS!!" The long time Worship Software only for MAC Operating Systems is now being made for Windows, although it isn't coming till This upcoming summer. Still we might get rid of Easy Worship when this update comes avalible. To read the post that ProPresenter made available, Click the Link Below.

Coming Up with Announcement Videos

Today I was Ice Skating at North Park Ice Skating Rink (for those of you familiar with the area). Then it hit me (actually when I fell) as I was remembering Brian Lippert and Dawn Melling doing an APC Minute on Ice.



But anyway, I was thinking of doing our Announcements on Ice while I was there today. Coming up with Announcements video is harder than it looks. You need to look for ideas that will get the crowd that you are showing this video to. Brian ice skating backwards with a camera and knowing he could fall to his doom with a multi-thousand dollar piece of equipment. So capture the audience, and your video will be a success!

Brian Lippert: A Man of the Camera

Let me brag about this guy for a second. Brian Lippert who is the media guy at Allison Park Church does some amazing things when it comes to his videos. He has a great talent and a great passion toward God. I love working with this guy cause he always knows how to make people including myself laugh. Plus he is always there for me. Here's a video he made over the summer for a Volunteer's Dinner at the Church.

Working at Weddings...one of the Best Kinds of Ministry you can do

September 13, 2009, I was blessed to help Brian Lippert who is head of Media at Allison Park Church to Film my small group leader's wedding ceremony. Although I did get offered to help film the reception, I couldn't stay for that unfortunately. In July of 2010, once again I have this same oppertunity, but this time, I run the show. I get to film by my self a wedding at Allison Park Church in July that I can't wait to do. It's going to be AWESOME!! :-)
