MagicQ by ChamSys (short for Chameleon Systems and is pronounced “cam” “sis”) is a full featured lighting software package that can get you where you need to go for practically nothing in hopes you’ll buy their hardware.
I think a lot of what we do is built upon our childhood. (until we’re told not to be creative any more)
I was talking with @JonathanMalm about things we did as children that very much mimic what we do professionally today. At Christmas I was excited to get presents and unwrap the boxes, but when I go back and look at pictures I’m playing with the boxes more than the toys. I can remember building fake ray guns, space ships and who knows what else with some boxes, tape and a little imagination.
BLOG DOWN!
Ok well life has gotten crazy so I’ll give you the lowdown as to what has been going on.
I had summer hit hard with VBS, camps etc.
This summer has started off CRAZY, and by crazy I mean crazy awesome. I have been stretched in ways I didn’t think possible, but this is a good thing. Since joining the children’s team I have gotten the pleasure of being creative visionary for VBS this year.
We have a Youth Leadership Conference / Missions experience going on right now here in Houston, Texas and my instructions were to create a cool stage.
Man…I wish constraints were always so fast and loose!
I’ve gotten one major project out of the way, and that is the Creek Kids ministry expo. Our theme this summer is a beach theme. So in previous posts you saw the Tshirt with the surfboards, and the ministry fair…well we decided to go beach party in an awesome kind of way. I built 8ft table tops out of fencing panels to look like a beach board walk and set up an island in the center complete with sand and sand sculpture of the creek kids logo. There is a video, I’ll throw the final up on my vimeo page. Continue reading
To Psalm 118 (a dive into writing, I haven’t done in a while)
my whole body is vibrating, shaking, Lord i am consumed
my soul longs for cleansing, to be closer to you
i am my own detriment, running from myself
a solace I cry for and nothing else
His love endures
His love endures
with all my breath I cry
His love endures
His love endures
All things
His love endures
i am surrounded, enshrouded, like a city at war
nowhere to hide at all, my refuge is in you
my life has ended, I am not my own
thank you for hearing me, for what you have shown
His love endures
His love endures
with all my breath I cry
His love endures
His love endures
all things
His love endures
open me, pour me out
i can’t do this alone
cleanse me, make me shout
victory is yours alone
I am so bored at this event that I have to do something.
So you get a blog post, a bit premature on my new stage design.
This stage design was inspired by the talented Mr. Widney
I’ve used screen door mesh before and loved the look and feel of it, so when I saw Jason’s use of it I knew it was time to break it back out (yes i saved it).
I’ll talk a little bit about the process, but There is a description of the process on flickr! Continue reading
