If a preacher gets a reference wrong or the gain is too high on the soundboard, it isn’t going to completely ruin the church experience. If the volume on the bassist’s amp is too high or a major detail is missing in the announcements, it can throw the congregation off.

However, each of these larger elements is made up of countless little factors that collectively add up to the overall experience.

Obvious big-ticket items like the sermon, sermon illustrations, sermon series graphics, special presentations, and praise and worship often hog the spotlight. It’s always better to show up early than to scramble trying to get your gear setup during a limited window of amazing light.There are countless elements that go into a quality worship service. I want to capture footage during the early morning hours, so this means I need to leave my house at 4AM, pack up my gear at my office, and be up the pass by 6AM. It’s about 75 minutes west of Denver on I-70. For this shoot, I chose Loveland Pass in Colorado. It often requires waking up super early and traveling to distant lands where you’ll find the beautiful landscapes. The process Step 1 - Determine when and where to capture footage.Ĭapturing stunning footage can be a lot of work. But the tools listed here are the backbone of my kit. I have a bunch of other gear like lenses, cards, and other accessories as well. Tripod - A wonderful tool to keep the camera steady for the shots I don’t move the camera. It’s cheap, the battery lasts all day, and most importantly, it works. Zhiyun-Tech Crane - This is my stabilizer that I use with my GH5. It’s easy to use, and I love having the remote with a built in screen.

Phantom 4 Pro + - This drone will capture the best image at the smallest price in aerial cinematography. There are some downsides with a smaller sensor and the color science is not as good as canon, but for me the other features outway these downsides. I love their portability, battery life, and recording specs that blow comparably priced cameras out of the water. I’ve used the Panasonic GH series cameras for three years now. Panasonic GH5 - This is my #1 camera recommendation for anyone wanting to get serious about video production but does not want to buy an overpriced Canon cinema camera.

It’s not going to be easy work, but the end product is totally worth it. There are multiple reasons why I want to shoot my own footage for worship backgrounds. Stock footage websites do not edit them in such a way to make this possible (I’ll show you how I do this later in the post.) Stock footage is not edited to loop - I want footage that can loop seamlessly in the background in ProPresenter. Most of the clips have too much movement and people in them that can be distracting in worship. The style of shooting is not right - Most stock footage sites do not shoot for the purpose of using their footage for backgrounds.

I like using clips in worship that are over 30 seconds. The clips are too short for use in a worship environment - Most footage on stock footage sites are not long enough to use in a worship environment, meaning the clips would loop every 10-20 seconds. comes closest to being the most affordable at $200/mo but that’s still a little steep for non-commercial work. It’s too expensive - I do not have a huge budget buy a bunch of stock footage.

While I could purchase and download a bunch of stock footage from places like, ,, , or, there are two issues with buying stock footage online. Now that high-quality video production has become affordable and accessible, I think we have an opportunity to use footage in worship rather than motion graphics. Most of the existing motion backgrounds consist of abstract motion graphics. Do a google search of “motion backgrounds for worship” and you’ll find a plethora of options.
