Our Savior's Lutheran Church Case Study
In Greely, Colorado, Our Savior's Lutheran Church is recording and broadcasting their service using a convenient setup making it easy for volunteers to alternate producing the show. Here's Jason Gentry describing their setup:
"We have three Vaddio RoboSHOT 30x cameras all setup in "home run" configuration. Two are setup on either side of the church, closer to the altar, so as to be able to focus on anything going on in the front of the sanctuary. There is one setup very high up at the back of the church so that it can also focus in on the balcony during organ and choir performances. I tried to use the picture icons for the PTZJoy tiles but most of our shots are pretty wide and, thus, you couldn't really see what was going on in the small tile. I ended up replacing those with custom buttons that say what the preset is (Sermon, Choir, etc.). We record the service using a program called vMix. Using vMix along with PTZJoy, we position the preview camera (i.e. the one that is not being recorded) to the desired view and then make it the "live" camera. The PTZJoy presets make this whole process incredibly easy as each Sunday's service typically follows a very predictable sequence. The virtual joystick allows for us to make small tweaks to the camera view to make the shot look nicer. After the service is over, I post-produce it to add title screens, cut out parts that are slow, etc. I post the finished video to Vimeo and then link it to Facebook. We also broadcast on cable tv a week later. "
