Big Daddy Weave

Hey Everybody!

If you had not already heard, we had a concert at HCC this weekend starring Big Daddy Weave. If you haven’t heard of him, I know the name is a little funky… but the band is great and the guys are hilarious.

We set up a camera to record a time-lapse of the entire set up, show, and tear down.

Below is a clip that is completely un-cut, un edited, right off the recorder. I would have put some music under it but it’s 1:30 in the morning right now and I’m in need of sleep. The clip is ONLY 2 MINUTES LONG! That’s over 12 hours of content packed into two minutes (10am-12am), so take a couple minutes of your day and watch this cool clip!

Hint: If you’re watching closely, you can see Zac making a face at the camera, you can also see a point in the “pre-show” where Power Point froze on a slide. The set up and tear down are probably the best parts to watch!!!

In my line of work, sometimes you really have to enjoy the small things…

maybe I enjoy them too much.

A Little Professional Fun…

Hello all, it’s Ben here again-

Don’t worry! I still have plenty of videos rolling in that I can’t wait to share with all of you… however, I thought it would be fun to go a back a little bit and take a brief look at some of the hard work and effort we put into… umm…doing stupid stuff…with old speakers… in the name of science and experimentation!

Sneak Peek…

Not sure who’s out there checking out our production blog at this time, I hope the number will continue to grow these next few months as I will continue to bring all of you the latest and greatest-

For any faithful followers at this time, I’ll give you a little sneak peek at some of our graphics for the new Easter series starting this Sunday. The first week is Easter Through the Eyes of Barabbas, Joe Coffey will also speak on Easter through the eyes of Pilot, Judas, and Peter. It’s going to be awesome I’m sure!

You can click these to view in full-

Props to Jonathan Claytor for providing this awesome content. The last lower third there was my original idea, but after talking things through we kind of got away from that….. Actually we never even talked about it…. I don’t know, I thought it tied in with Easter pretty well, don’t you? :p

P.S. the lamb you see in the center of the full graphic ties in with the “sacrifice” associated with Barabbas. During the week of Pilot there will be a Roman-esk helmet, for Peter a rooster, and for Judas, maybe silver(?) Feel free to give some input…

A Small Tribute to our Christmas Production…

Hello again everyone

Welcome back to the HCC Productions blog, I hope to be posting videos and other news here from week-to-week, so make sure to check back every now and then!

Probably most of you know all about the Christmas concerts held every year here at Hudson Community Chapel. A lot of hard work from a lot of wonderful people always proves to make a very impressive and exciting product. We had a lot of fun this year especially, and I wanted to give a quick look at some of the things that went on behind the scenes. I’ve got everything in here from the very first meetings we had to discuss the production, to the construction, to the night of the concert. I didn’t do a lot of editing with this, it’s pretty straight forward, but I hope you still get some laughs!

Fish Tank …. Under WATER?

Hey everyone, Ben here….

After much consideration, Zac has given me access to using the blog. The idea being that hopefully I can contribute stories, videos, and thoughts, about all the stuff going on here throughout the week…and believe me, when most of your life is spent from behind a video camera, one tends to capture some interesting things! Well little does Zac know…my plans for blog domination are now underway, and under my rule- shock. awe. and pure hilarity.- will be our sustentation.

To kick things off, I have a little bit of everything mixed in for you. In case you haven’t heard about this week’s events in the fish tank, I have a little clip for ya!

Freelancing, Aurora and Sleep…

The past 6 days of my life have been crazy busy. Monday thur Thursday, I freelanced every evening up in Cleveland doing some fun corporate gigs. Alot of work but fun. During the day we have been planning for the weekend and installing new audio and video for the Aurora Campus.

This weekend we are launching our first sermon via video at that campus. We have a new 16×9 HD projector along with a complete new d&bspeakers and Yamaha LS-9 digital console. Alot fun stuff. Some where between those two events I have found a few hours each night to sleep.

I’m not gonna lie – IM TIRED…but I love it! I love working hard and seeing the results of all the planning and time spent installing gear. I love freelancing – setting up a room for 2 days, having 3 rehearsal for a 1 hour show. Then it all gets struck in less then 4 hours.

But there is nothing like come back to the church on Friday for Band of Brothers. Man the band rocked the house! The guys that spoke were powerful! They spoke from their hearts and lives got changed!

I love this church and ministry. I love working here! I enjoy freelancing but those gigs aren’t changing lives…HCC is! God is doing some great things here folks! I hope you are ready for what He is going to do at Aurora…Hudson…Stow….Kent….Around the World! I am so blessed to be apart of it and I hope you are too!

When will they be in concert at HCC?

Hello, Anyone There?

Ok…I know I haven’t blogged in awhile. In a long while. My goal is to at least get a few post up a week. I know that’s a long shot but please keep me accountable. I apologize!  

This post is here to get things moving. I read about 15 different blogs a day from all different topic. Mostly church tech topics. This one stuck out to me today and reminded me of HCC and our old video room. Man, we have come along way in the past 2 years.And Here!

God has truly blessed HCC and our Production Staff of Volunteers! Thanks again for all you guys do and all the hard work you done and are going to do!

Thoughts from a guy who runs ProPresenter…

This post is by a fella who runs ProPresenter at Revolution Church. I highly recommend reading this. I love his grasp of what’s really important and his attitude.

Enjoy!
