My job title is Technology Director. My roll is WAY more complicated. I am involved with everything audio, video, lighting, IT, software, graphic design, video production, event production, service planning, content planning, and a [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/06/12/sennheiser-wireless-article-my-15-minutes/Senheiser USA just added a plug about our new facility on their website. I was at an Expo in Chicago while at the Willowcreek Arts conference and one of the Sennheiser guys saw my name tag and told me about it. I gotta be honest, it felt kind of cool to be “noticed” by their [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/06/03/gadget-is-not-broken/I read this article this morning on Engadget. A recent study shows that 95% of returned electronic devices are in fact NOT BROKEN. It attributed 26% to buyers remorse and the rest to basically laziness. How many of you never read the manual and then think “it” doesn’t work? I know that I am not a [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/05/04/canon-crank-cameras/No, not hand crank cameras but cameras used in filming the movie Crank 2. I have discovered on a couple different websites that a big budget Hollywood film is being done on budget gear. Somewhat of a church budget MAYBE. The cameras in discussion are Canon XH A1 “consumer” grade HD units. These things sell [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/05/03/just-breathe-intro/Well, it has been a while since a worthwhile post came to these parts. I decided I am going to try to get back on the blog-bandwagon along with a couple of other potential web activities that you shall hear about soon enough. I am posting a video that we will be using in church for [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/04/24/peta-pays-meat/Although somewhat technical, I definitely consider this blog subject “off topic” but I couldn’t ignore it. I stumbled across an article leading me to this website, which confirms something incredible. PETA (the animal rights group) is offering $1 million for the first group of scientists to come up with commercially viable and edible meat. Let me [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/03/07/starts-chair/I figured I would share a video from church with the small portion of the internet world that visits here. This is a testimony intro video we played in church on our opening weekend in the new building. I edited it in Adobe After Effects with the chair being hand drawn, scanned & cut in [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/03/04/love-song/We are getting ready to start a 4 week series in church on God’s love called “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” We were trying today to think of some nice popular and fast love songs to play as walk-in and/or walk-out songs in the services. You got any suggestions? We were struggling. We [...]http://www.travispaulding.com/2008/03/03/worth-hype/I stumbled across this article today on the Consumerist. It ‘confirms’ that coat hangers work as well as Monster Cables for home theater speaker cable. It makes you wonder how many products out there are purely or mostly hype and not so much quality. What do you think? What products are mostly hype? -Travishttp://www.travispaulding.com/2008/03/03/exhale/I feel like I can breathe again. I actually got home during daylight hours yesterday for the first time in probably a month. I sat at home, almost restless, because I have grown accustomed to having a ton of things to do all with the same deadline. Praise-alujah that the deadline has passed and I [...]nonadult
