Echo Church Media Conference Day 1 (cont.)

Doug — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:50:01 +0000

This post is a continuation of my updates from the Echo Church Media Conference.

Earlier today I attended a session on creating motion graphics in After Effects. There are some great resources and links from this session on the Echo Media Conference website. You can check them out here.

Echo is providing lunch and dinner each day of the conference. You won’t get that from most conferences. Way to go! They have really done a great job in making everyone feel welcome and have given a lot of opportunities to connect with other media type people.

I am sitting right now in a session on editing using Final Cut. Trent is going through step by step on how they created the Echo Church Media Conference teaser trailer. You can watch it here.

Live Blogging from Echo Church Media Conference

Doug — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:41:09 +0000

Today is the first day of the Echo Church Media Conference in Dallas, TX. I will be posting some updates throughout the conference.

They started out this morning with pre-conference labs. I went to one about podcasting. The team from Geekbrief.tv gave a great overview on setting up a blog, creating a podcast and posting it to iTunes. It was very informative and they gave a live demonstration using Garage Band, VID Blaster and Ustream.tv.

Collide- Media Magazine Review

Doug — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 02:39:55 +0000

Just last week I received in the mail the first issue of Collide magazine. If you haven’t heard of Collide, it was created “to inform, influence and inspire leaders in regard to using media to serve the church body and reach the world in which we live.” The topics that the writers cover vary from visual media, music, technology and the Internet.

The staff who puts together Collide brings a wealth of experience through their years of developing media content for Igniter Media Group and the retail side Worship House.

In this issue there is a good balance of inspiring articles, product reviews and interviews with visual media producers. I am looking forward to future issues. If you haven’t already done so, you can subscribe to Collide on their website.

I am in the process of writing a guide that can be used by churches, ministries and others. It would provide tips and ideas for purchasing video illustrations either by download or on DVD. What thoughts, ideas or questions you would like answered should be included in the guide? For those who provide feedback, I will e-mail you the guide once it is completed.
