PPT Tip #5 | Blue on Black

Calum Henderson — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:43:04 +0000

Blue writing on a black background is nearly impossible to read at the best of times, so please reserve blue text for highlighting links on a white background…

Also, yellow text on a white background is no fun.

And if you ever use a pink background for anything…

Consider good colour choice when designing a PPT presentation. Check out this site for some hints.

Have you seen any other colours that have hurt your eyes in a presentation?

Introduction to the EU: What does the EU do?

Calum Henderson — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:45:16 +0000

Recently I have been filming and editing a series of videos on an Introduction to the EU.

There are a whole bunch of things that the EU does, and a whole bunch of information that people can learn about the EU, but as of yet there is no easy way to find out a lot of this information besides either coming along to a lot of EU events or talking to a senior EUer.

This videos aim to inform people about the EU, they were filmed with Hugh Chilton, the president of the EU, and I did the filming and editing.

There are more of these videos coming out shortly, but for now, please enjoy learning about what the EU does.

If you would like to find out more about the EU, please visit the website here.

This is Life – Day 4 Video

Calum Henderson — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 23:50:00 +0000

On day 4 of the “This is Life” mission at Sydney Uni (read more here), a roundtable discussion was held on the topic of “All Religious Paths Lead to Life?”. There were a number of speakers from different faiths who all spoke for short amounts of time, and then tables of students discussed.

Below is a video that I made wrapping up the event.

I filmed and edited this video on my iPhone 4. It’s pretty cool that I was able to do this all before I even got home (minus adding in the EU logo at the end). Some of the sound is terrible as I’m still learning the best ways to use it, but it is good to know that you can use the headset microphone that came with the iPhone to use as a microphone for filming. Look forward to more quick videos like this in the future.

This is Life – Mission Blog

Calum Henderson — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:42:37 +0000

So the This is Life mission is stil only a few days away, and there is a blog attached to the website.

There are a few people (including me) who are contributing to this blog, so you should go check it out (here).

Also, here is a snippet from the blog post that I just wrote.

“Could you imagine 2 everyday men being brought before the federal parliament under criminal charges and preaching the gospel. Of course you can’t, this would never happen in Australia. But in the Bible, we hear a story of just this.”

If you don’t know, the upcoming mission is run by the Sydney Uni Evangelical Union, and will last for the next 3 weeks (and into eternity).

This is Life? – Website

Calum Henderson — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:36:09 +0000

At the University of Sydney. A campus consuming mission is coming up! It is going to be absolutely massive! There is an awesome website up at the moment. Check it out.

thisislife.com.au

I reckon you all fit into one of the following categories

Christian at Usyd – Pray for mission and invite your friends! Chat to them about mission and aim to have good conversations with them.
Non-Christian at Usyd – Come along to an event, there are tons on (see here for details).
Christian not at Usyd – Please pray for us, and pray that God will work.
Non-Christian at Usyd – check out this website also, or ask me a question.

God is good!

For regular readers – I now have internet at my new place after getting married (yay!), and will be writing occasionally for the foreseeable future, mostly about mission for now.

720p + iMovie For iPhone = Win For Ministry

Calum Henderson — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 05:58:51 +0000

The new iPhone was announced earlier this week by Apple, and I for one am very excited by the possibilities that this new device will have for Ministry.

2 of the features that were announced by Apple were a 720p (HD) video camera, and a new iMovie app.

High Def video looks great. Example, view this YouTube video that I made in full screen and make sure that you have it set to 720p.

Looks sharp eh? That’s because there are heaps more pixels in that video, meaning greater detail and more prettiness.

When the new iPhone is out and about in a few months, you will be able to use your phone to make videos of this quality!

Another exciting announcement was the release of iMovie for iPhone, which means that you can edit these movies right on your iPhone, and publish them to YouTube. You’ll be able to get the videos that you make out very very quickly!

I’m imagining people in ministry being able to make a really quick, really high quality videos, whenever they want. These could include leaders sending out videos to group members instead of a long email, or it could mean a very quick advertising video being made, or it could mean a video showing how fun an event was will be that much easier to make. Possibilities!

I’m excited to use these new features, and you’ll be sure to find some iPhone 4 made videos right here at calumhenderson.com in the coming months.
