Isn't technology incredible? Today I am...

Sitting in a booth at the National Religious Broadcaster's Convention in Nashville.

I am in front of a green screen. I'm being shot with a high end camera with a weird green ring on it. I can see myself in the monitor, but... Volia! With the wonders of modern technogy, the Tricaster is putting me in a high end set. Part of that high end set includes a stream of live video from the show. That robotic camera is perched atop of the trussing surrounding our booth and can be controlled easily by soneone on the floor.

Additionally, on my lap is a computer connected to the web through a wireless adaptor. So, I am writing this blog while I am on screen. I have opened a tab where I can see myself on webTV as the Tricaster streams me out to the web.

Matt is taking photos with his digital camera that is part of his phone. He is dropping one of my photos into an image of the outside of the convention center. He will forward them to my e-mail account and then I will upload them into this blog.

Isn't technology incredible?

And here are the photos..


Here we are at NRB!

The robotic camera on our trussing

The weird green ring that goes on the front of the camera makes the green screen really work well!

Here is me, my good friends Ginger Haan and Julie Tomsett. Julie is also my sister!

I'm familiar with technology and I was still impressed with what can be done!

Amazing what can be done today. I am tech challenged, but I'm learning.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Barb & Sarah... thanks for you comments. Yes, Barb, some people who were doing installations told me what a special thing it was to be there on the first Sunday that the new things were in place - just a really wonderful time for everyone! Thank for sharing!

Technology is a wonderful thing!!! Hello, my name is Barb and I work for the sister company of Kingdom called the "Kingdom System Integrators". We are a installation company. We get the pleasure of installing all kinds of exciting equipment into churches all over the country. In many cases, we enter churches into the 21st century and when we are finished they can complete their tasks in a better timely method than they did before. It is so much fun to watch their faces light up when they see what technology has done for their church. The youth of the church also enjoys helping when "cool" technology is installed, but you can also find the not so young fulfilling there own dreams in video editing or the pure pleasure of using graphics in projection. No matter what it is, you will surely enjoy the technological side of video, audio, projection, lighting, etc. Hey, have fun!!! Thanks for reading - what do you think?
