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.

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 a gun.
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 inspiration from the LED spheres at Coldplay and from another church. We don’t have the budget for ChromaSpheres so we ordered some paper lanterns, set them on top of truss and the rest is history.

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 was 12, I remember making marquee signs with cardboard and Christmas lights. I would poke the lights through the cardboard to spell out words. So we had a guy build some poster frames and drill holes for us. Then, we took mini bulbs and stuck them through (see pictures). Just like a real marquee but much cheaper! We brought back the red curtains from Heroes and swaggered them. The whole thing turned out real nice. And, we stayed within our budget of $500. Pretty nice for a medium-sized church! I love my job and the many people on the production team that helped make this stage a reality. Thanks guys!
