Getting automated
Do more with less.
You have your production equipment. You can put your service online. How can you produce more without burning out your volunteers?
Consider automating your production process.
What is automated production control?
In the past, productions required an entire staff. You needed people to man every aspect of production. With computing power and networking equipment becoming less expensive and easily accessible, you can set up a semi-automated or fully automated production control system to give your volunteers more power and require fewer of them to work at any given time.
Semi-automated production control
The first step in considering automation is whether you want to spend your time focusing on producing the service production process during the week or not. There are benefits and drawbacks at various levels of automating production.
Semi-automation allows your volunteers to control your production process with an iPad or a Stream Deck, giving them more flexible control with multiple devices but without needing to prepare everything in advance.
Fully automated production control
A fully automated production control system means that every element of the production is prepared in advanced, meaning a single operator can simply advance through the presentation software at the right time, and the system triggers all of the necessary commands to prepare cameras, visuals, and even sound commands.
When implemented properly, this setup will allow you to do multiple live productions with ease.
Need support?
There are many possibilities to produce a great live experience of the worship service. Ultimately, the online broadcast is an expression of the church, and producing services with simplicity and excellence is key to a sustainable online ministry.
