At the time, the auditorium was getting very crowded for Sunday services, and they needed a way to get people to be a part of the service as much as possible without actually being in the sanctuary.  

...For the extension service, we wanted to be sure that the people that had to watch the screen would get the highest quality image possible.    Poor image or audio quality would be distracting and result in the audience losing interest and not being involved in the service.


...The Canon optics are superb as one might expect, and the custom functions available on the menu are second to none when it comes to customizing the camera to our needs.


...A very simple option, it allows for smooth pan and tilt of a mounted camera up to fifteen pounds.  

...There is a Windows computer and external monitor in one corner of the booth that can be controlled by a single operator.    The camera is focused and exposed before each service, and the HDV M2V file is recorded directly to a compact 250GB external USB hard drive.  ...  Paul takes the hard drive home each week and mixes the audio from the camera microphone (for congregational singing or where ambient audience noise is best) and the audio recorded from the board.


...Once the church reaches a point where they need the overflow room, we&rsquo;ll be able to transport the video signal to the projector in the fellowship hall for viewing.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Pettit Promo</title><dc:creator>Braintrust Digital</dc:creator><category>Motion picture</category><dc:date>2009-03-02T10:35:18-05:00</dc:date><link>http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/68856bc260df338a4bb5fb559d4ea8cd-14.html#unique-entry-id-14</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/68856bc260df338a4bb5fb559d4ea8cd-14.html#unique-entry-id-14</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Each spring Oak Ridge Baptist Church hosts a week of special outreach meetings.    In years past, they&rsquo;ve used the DVD format as a substitute for paper flyers or brochures as an invitation.    Braintrust Digital was asked to shoot and edit a personal invitation to the viewer from Senior Pastor Tom Craig.    This is the resulting video that was incorporated into the final DVD along with directions to the church, samples of music and sermons, and information about ORBC.

Paul produced an extensive historic preservation project for them in 2005 while working there under contract.    This extensive video was comprised of 360 degree interior and exterior walk-arounds, long continuous-shot tours of the site, and iPix 360 degree still images.    Knoxville Steadicam operator David McCauley did much of the camera work, while Paul produced, edited, and mastered the project for the Y-12 historians overseeing the production.    The project was completed in approximately three months.    The final product was a three DVD set that can be accessed by the public.    The video below will show you a montage of the types of things you can view on the DVD set.    You&rsquo;ll see interface samples, Steadicam shots, and animated iPix photography.

We got some staged shots of Will preaching, and some cute shots of their four kids singing some of the songs that they use during their evangelistic meetings.    Will and Christy were each a little embarrassed at seeing themselves on camera since this is a first for them both.  

...On Saturday morning, we all went to a local state park to shoot the last two monologues that Will wanted to do.    Everything was as we hoped it would be on an early Saturday morning.    There was almost no one else there; the air was cool; and the sun was providing some very nice lighting filtering through the trees.    Will's first monologue took longer than we had hoped for because the park personnel were using a tractor with a leaf blower attachment to clear off the paths and roads.    The noise made it impossible to shoot until they were out of earshot.    The second monologue went much smoother, and we had some great backlighting on an old wooden bridge.


After a quick lunch, the Galkins hit the road again, and we went back to post-production.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Galkin Project: Removing the Buzzing Fly</title><dc:creator>Braintrust Digital</dc:creator><category>Motion picture</category><dc:date>2007-08-30T13:39:30-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/6b2249abf67853c18b07ff5208305436-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/6b2249abf67853c18b07ff5208305436-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The two monologues that we shot a few weeks ago are proving to be harder to edit than we hoped for.    There were a lot of unusable takes in the first monologue, and some of the alternate takes that were good had the same or similar angle to the previous shot making them unusable as well.  ...  After a lot of thought and tweaking, we think we've managed to make the whole sequence coherent and usable.


At first glance, the second monologue looked fantastic with some gorgeous backlighting and serendipitous natural bounce light.    ...  The first and most obvious problem was a fly that repeatedly hounded Will by buzzing around his body and landing on his hand.  ...  When the spit flew out of his mouth, it ignited like fireworks in front of his face.    Not too long ago, this would have been either un-repairable or very difficult and time consuming to fix.  ...  This version has a fantastic feature which allows us to open a Quicktime video directly in Photoshop.    It interprets the frames as individual layers and provides an animation timeline to make adjustments to each frame.    We were able to paint out all of the flying spittle with the healing brush making them invisible.

They found a few tweaks to make that will make the whole program smoother.    The major development is that they have decided that they want to re-shoot all of their monologues.    After eight months of continuing to develop and refine their message, they believe that they can communicate everything much better.    So we've gone from production to post-production and back to production.    The whole team will be in Nashville until just after Easter and will be going to the Atlanta area after a two day break.    Since Knoxville isn't too much out of the way, they will spend one day and one night here.    Before shooting, we'll review their outlines and prioritize the segments that need to be reshot.    We'll do all of the ones we can and see how much we can do in one day.

The overcast sky gave us even lighting, and we utilized some silver-coated foam core for a bounce light.    We got started almost two hours later than scheduled because we forgot to factor in a one hour time zone change since the team was coming from Nashville.    They also had some trouble with their trailers when they were leaving the church in Nashville.  ...  They had obviously really nailed down what they wanted to say and how they wanted to say it.    Since they were both present for the shoot, they were also able to help each other clarify their thoughts.


...That ruined a few good takes, but we still had enough good ones to cover all of the thoughts in the script.    At another location, there was a woman (apparently mentally handicapped) who decided she wanted to serenade the entire crew while we were in the middle of shooting.  

...The editing of all of the monologues and pick-up shots that we re-shot is very close to completion.  ...  This should be a final version, and we can expect the final delivery of all of the DVDs to be before the end of May.

After coordinating with the construction project manager and electricians, we developed a cost-effective, innovative design that will cooperate with the system being installed in the main auditorium as well as work independently in various parts of the building.


We will be getting a slightly delayed audio feed from the main sound board in the auditorium to provide sound to seven rooms throughout the building.  ...  There are two classrooms that have moveable walls allowing them to be opened up to become an extension of the fellowship hall.    These rooms, along with the fellowship hall, will have a &ldquo;B&rdquo; system allowing them to be switched to local audio from the fellowship hall.  ...  One of these classrooms will have a third option of connecting a microphone to it&rsquo;s speakers for audio in just that room.


The fellowship hall will have a DLP video projector connected to a DVD/VHS player, and a VGA wall plate for computer connectivity.  

...The youth room is similar to the fellowship hall having an independent audio and video system with a video hook-up in the wall at the front of the room for the youth pastor to connect his MacBook into.  

...Since March, we&rsquo;ve already done some preliminary work by putting holes in the drywall and sill plates to drop our cables.  ...  Over the next few weeks, we&rsquo;ll be running our cables, installing the projectors, and getting our audio feed straightened out.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>ORBC AV installation continues</title><dc:creator>Braintrust Digital</dc:creator><category>AV</category><dc:date>2009-06-07T16:20:00-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/b6f1694de300b71e4a27b97923a25257-20.html#unique-entry-id-20</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/b6f1694de300b71e4a27b97923a25257-20.html#unique-entry-id-20</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Over the last two weeks we made some minor modifications to our design and equipment list to reduce the number of power points the church would need.    We originally incorporated some Extron compact amplifiers for each room&rsquo;s speakers, but we reduced the number of amps in order to not need so many plugs throughout the building.  ...  These amps have a great feature that automatically powers them off when there is no signal, saving energy and maximizing the life of the amps.


Along with some re-design, we installed lots of speakers and wall plates, ran lots of CAT5 and speaker cable, and tested out our nifty Network Sound audio distributor.  

...The receiving unit is a small box with a digital display and remote control, allowing you to choose which of six outputs you want to send the sound to.  


With up to six inputs available on this model, any audio source can be sent to any zone.  

...We&rsquo;ve decided to modify our design again slightly to correct for some of the echo in the room making the audio more intelligible.    Instead of having two speakers in each overflow room, we&rsquo;ll have one in each in different locations from the original plan.    They&rsquo;ll be ceiling mounted near the corners of the rooms as opposed to wall mounted on one side.


The Draper motorized screen and projector mount for the fellowship hall arrived this week, so we&rsquo;ll be installing those next week.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>A long day at church</title><dc:creator>Braintrust Digital</dc:creator><category>AV</category><dc:date>2009-07-11T19:30:00-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/b64624f479617a6057598ecd19580888-21.html#unique-entry-id-21</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/b64624f479617a6057598ecd19580888-21.html#unique-entry-id-21</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The youth room required a ceiling-mounted projector, a pair of wall-mounted speakers, amplifier, volume control, and VGA and 1/8&rdquo; audio input.    The youth pastor already had a Benq projector that was sufficient for the job, so we mounted that with a Telehook pole mount.    This versatile mount allows for multiple adjustments including tilt and roll.    This allowed us to mount it on the cathedral ceiling of the room and still get it to point at the proper angle for the image display.    We flanked the image area with two Polk Audio speakers.  ...  It&rsquo;s very small (only about four inches wide).    We mounted it under a shelf that&rsquo;s built onto the wall above the riser that is used to support the youth pastor&rsquo;s Macbook or Nintendo Wii.    The volume control and AV hook-up are in-wall mounted right above the shelf for convenience.    Take a look at the photos below to see what it looks like.    The &ldquo;custom lighting&rdquo; is the brain child of the youth pastor.

From there, the Network Sound plate converts the unbalanced audio signal to twisted pair and transports it to the closet in the fellowship hall.  ...  From there, it comes out of the Zone Server and travels via twisted pair to the wall plate in the nursing room.  ...  This gives us an audio feed for the fellowship hall which may be used at a later date for an overflow audience if the auditorium gets too crowded.  ...  The lobby speakers are installed so that people can hear pre-service music when they enter the building in the morning.    Also, when the service is underway, anyone in the lobby can hear what&rsquo;s going on so they don&rsquo;t make a disturbance.    The cry room is a room adjacent to the auditorium that is for people that want to hear and see the service but may be sick or have children with them.    The windows are sound-proof so that they can watch, but not disturb the rest of the audience.    The speakers in the nursery are for the nursery workers to know when the service is coming to a close so they can get the childrens&rsquo; things ready for pick-up.  

...One of the adult Sunday school rooms will get a 1200 lumen projector and 100&rdquo; 16:9 manual screen.  ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Dedication service modifications</title><dc:creator>Braintrust Digital</dc:creator><category>AV</category><dc:date>2009-08-10T18:03:00-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/57c5e00816ddcff03cc6f39725a41613-27.html#unique-entry-id-27</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/57c5e00816ddcff03cc6f39725a41613-27.html#unique-entry-id-27</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[On Friday, Paul was asked by the youth pastor of ORBC to help set up a temporary overflow system for this Sunday.    They&rsquo;re expecting possibly up to 400 people in attendance at the 10:30 AM service, and they wanted to be prepared to send people to the fellowship hall to watch the service on a closed-circuit system if necessary.    The church purchased a 3500 lumen Dell DLP projector, so we set that up and fired it at a blank wall in the fellowship hall.    There wasn&rsquo;t time to permanently install the motorized screen that&rsquo;s intended for that room, so we settled for a light beige wall that reflected pretty well.  ...  Since it was so late in the weekend, we didn&rsquo;t have another option, so we recruited some teenagers on Sunday morning to tape black trash bags over the windows to block out any excess light.  

...This was not connected into the feed to the fellowship hall, but was used during the sermon and a special testimony time at the end of the service.  ...  Since there is a projector firing at the rear wall of the auditorium, we had a camera operator follow the preacher with the Sony.    That image was then projected onto the rear wall so the choir would be able to see him from the front and not just the back.


...We zoomed in on these individuals and followed them on the stage as well so that everyone in the auditorium could be sure to read what was written.  

...We ended up not needing the overflow room since everyone fit into the auditorium, but it was good to be prepared just in case.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>ORBC installation heats up</title><dc:creator>Braintrust Digital</dc:creator><category>AV</category><dc:date>2009-07-01T12:20:00-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/7cf588737b9dbad20e9f2cfae81d1021-28.html#unique-entry-id-28</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.braintrustdigital.com/page1/files/7cf588737b9dbad20e9f2cfae81d1021-28.html#unique-entry-id-28</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Things are happening very quickly around the property now.    The landscape is nearing getting finishing touches.    The auditorium furniture is all installed.    The last of the trim work and painting is being done.    The last of our speakers were installed this week, and we had some help from a retired electrician from the church with all of the soldering.    We&rsquo;ll now concentrate on finishing up the youth room which will have a ceiling-mounted projector, two speakers, a manual pull-down screen, wall-mounted volume control, and a wall-mounted VGA and 1/8&rdquo; audio input for connecting a computer to the projector and speakers.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
