If you have volunteers set up your backgrounds, find a person or people who fit this role. Anyone can chose a background, but not everyone is suited for this role. I would consider this to be one of the more challenging applications for using backgrounds. Now I say a simple prayer, almost a breath prayer, I simply say as the music starts or as I am reading through the notes, “God will you lead me as I prepare to lead our congregation in worship this weekend?” Yet I relied too much on my talent and abilities and never invited in the One who all of the preparation was for into the process. I always took time to properly prepare, as a volunteer and staff member. When he said “ask God to lead him,” I was immediately convicted and inspired. He said, “When assigned to a weekend service, the first thing I do is carve out some time before programming to listen to the music, read the notes and simply ask God to lead me in choosing the right backgrounds.” One of my CG (character generator) volunteers had a great comment while a group of us were meeting together about this very topic. This may sound obvious, but how often do you start picking backgrounds 30 minutes before the service? Prayer and preparation are key to getting it started off right. This is how backgrounds should fit unnoticed but critical for the moment and element.
#HOW TO MAKE MOTION BACKGROUNDS FOR BIG SONGS MOVIE#
Just as the soundtrack to a movie should be invisible, it is critical in providing the impact needed to support the moment. When you select the correct background the words, lyrics or notes you are supporting take on life allowing people to engage. Think of the background as a musical underscore to your favorite movie. You want your background to support the message or theme of the current element. If background takes center stage, then it is no longer background, its foreground. Using multiple backgrounds can be fun and creative, but will also be time-consuming. Just ensure you do it with everyone.ĭuring a weekend prep or rehearsal it is so much better to be able to say to a volunteer, “This is how we do things,” instead of saying, “I don't like this.” Personal opinion is subjective and easily starts disagreement or arguments. Always remember to innovate by trying new things and styles. Without ongoing conversations, your style will become stagnant. Get together and review each weekend or setup something monthly, it will be a great tool and you may find it helps you in other areas as well. This is not a single conversation, but something ongoing and ever changing. As a group, come to an understanding of how you all want to proceed with the style and kind of backgrounds you would like to use. It is important to be open and honest about your feelings and opinions. Having a conversation with the other people involved with planning and implementing your services is key. No matter what size your church, whether it's been years since you began using graphics, just starting out, or you just want to amp up you current game here are some keys for success. They can also be a recipe for stress, opinions and conversations, in which you may have to defend your choices. Using motion and still backgrounds for worship can be fun and exciting.
