John Dyer is so cool. He’s just launched some new javascript goodness with MediaElement.js, which replaces <video> with either Silverlight or Flash which returns a wrapper object that matches the HTML5 Media Element API. What does that mean in plain english? It means that you can use this script and feel good about yourself even [...]

Lets be honest, this thing looks sexy. What is this thing that you are looking at? It is the the NEX-VG10 Handycam from Sony. Sony claims, the NEX-VG10 is “the world’s first consumer camcorder with interchangeable lenses.” If that is not enough, here are some more deets from Sony themselves:

There’s no doubt that the issue of volume is the most dreaded topic of conversation for a sound guy. You’ve heard it before: Do you think it’s too loud…? This is the “nicer” version.

We posted a new job on ChurchLoop yesterday: Media Technician and FOH Engineer at The Ark Church. Sounds like a fantastic opportunity for the right person…! Oh, and if you didn’t know that we actually have a Job Board… well, now you know.

@Andrew, our multimedia samurai & pragmatic business cogitator, just his hands on a Yeti Mic. This is definitely gonna level-up the podcasts…! Check his expression when he got it…

This has got to be the most expensive (and ridiculous) Home Theatre system ever…! It’s a whopping $6,000,000 dollar investment and I’m sure it’s worth every penny. If you’ve been having trouble getting up the courage to invite people to your home for small group or bible study then perhaps you simply haven’t invested the [...]

I remember one of my college professors talked about an experiment involving two groups of people that went something [...]

One of the neatest things that I had the pleasure of doing at the Drive Conference was meet a handful of talented builders, architectural, and audio-visual organizations that are passionate about creating church and ministry environments.
