If anything, I'd consider 2008 a year of getting our bearing and moving forward a bit. In 2009 I'm definitely looking forward to getting a solid tech team together and spearheading a lot of projects. To the best of my knowledge, we have no budget, so we've had some creative liberties here and there (and a road trip or two) to make things work. The child check-in program is working great, but I have future plans for it. The web site re-do is still on the back burner, and we just recently had space made available at church for a dedicated tech room area.
The first thing we need to work on is getting people involved and plugged into helping with various tech related activities. The promotional video to get people interested has been created and will start being shown.
One topic that I'm investigating currently is video creation. Currently we have the equipment to do videos of the sermons on Sunday morning, but the problem stems from post-production timeframes. For an hour long service, you would need to include the Powerpoint slides and other things, including the potential for multiple camera angles. This is all possible but the time to do this on a consistent basis with the limited resources (namely talent/time) is overwhelming. The way to circumvent that issue would be to do the processing on the fly -- mixing a live "show" to tape. The 9 AM service could be used to for notes/etc.. and then the 10:45 the actual live recording. Multiple cameras and the Powerpoint slides could be mixed live and recorded -- greatly reducing the time it would take in post-production time.
