With the COVID-19 situation and shelter-in-place orders forcing churches to reimagine how to have church, many are converting their auditoriums into makeshift video recording studios. Here’s how we’ve been capturing the worship portion of our church online service and how we’ve reworked elements of our church auditorium to accommodate these new needs.

This video covers:

1. How (and why) we’re doing worship in the round
2. How to light a space for video instead of lighting it for a typical worship service
3. How we’re setting up our cameras (and why we use iPhone cameras)

Many of us are scrambling to become experts in areas we never thought we’d have to know like live streaming, mixing audio for broadcast and copyright law. Here's some additional resources that might be helpful during this unique time:
