I'm overwhelmed and a little shocked seeing how I haven't updated it a while. Now that I've kept you waiting, I do have a BIG update for you guys. This design was fun to work ... http://stephenlechner.com/2010/10/11/new-stage-design/ We're tackling the subject of purity at In Focus Church this month and the series title is, "Battlefield: The Battle for Purity in a Sex-Crazed World." I wanted to stay away from the traditional camo/army/military look that you automatically associate with the word, "battlefield." The fight for purity is every ... http://stephenlechner.com/2010/02/08/stage-design-battlefield/ [vimeo width="440" height="248"]http://vimeo.com/9099959[/vimeo] This was our first "action" trailer and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Big thanks to Mark Pittman and Hamilton for helping ... http://stephenlechner.com/2010/02/01/battlefield-trailer/ This stage design was fairly simple as far as concept but took a great team of hard working volunteers to pull it off.

Though this phrase is a great exaggeration about my experience, I figured I had to grab your attention somehow (though, I did spend a good 7 ... http://stephenlechner.com/2009/05/01/gives-you-hell/ Yesterday, our staff decided to let out our competitive side and host an office olympics. The events included, "Power Chair Obstacle," "Flonkerton" and "Chair Race." It was hilarious and I'm glad to be on a team that knows how to have fun! Enjoy the video. We rock. :) Stephen http://stephenlechner.com/2009/03/11/office-olympics/ This is a blog "rewind." Since I suck at writing these days, I'm going to post some material that I really meant to post earlier. Way. Earlier. This is a video from Christmas. I had my first attempt at shooting a gun and hit the target on the second shot. Yes. I now want ... http://stephenlechner.com/2009/02/10/youll-shoot-your-eye-out/ The title refers to our new series at In Focus that started yesterday and it was awesome! Our attendance had an increase of 20% and it's only the first Sunday! Here are some pictures of our stage. I really like the set up of this one. I took my ... http://stephenlechner.com/2009/02/02/sex-talk/ It's been a very long time since I've blogged about stage design and this one is great. This month's series is called, "Curtain Call," so we knew we wanted to make it look "Broadway-ish." My dad made the gold footlights to go across the front of the stage. When I ... http://stephenlechner.com/2008/11/19/stage-design-curtain-call/ All in all, a great night. Coldplay was amazing and the production was incredible. What was the best concert you've been to?
