Series bumper for Shoreline Church. Made from scratch. We built the light tent from an old cardboard box, some fabric, and a bunch of $6 lights. We shot it on a Canon 7D in 1080p. Vocal talent provided by local celebrity, Dan Collins. Icon flip animation made in Motion.

Balancing projects
I’ve got 2 completely different magazine layouts that I’m working on at the same time, right now. The hard part isn’t coming up with ideas, or being creative. It’s focusing on one project, and neglecting the other, until it’s time to swap it around.

Frustrating
I wrote my own podcasting app in PHP a long time ago, but it’s worked so well I’ve never had to really tweak it. But any mp3’s ending with the letter “P” in the filename are getting the trailing “p” truncated. WEIRD. Now I’ve got to go figure it out.
Update: Turns out it was a quirk with the trim() function in PHP. Still not sure why, and I haven’t seen it documented. Fixed it with a str_replace() hack. I really just need to implement an ID3 tag reader. Another day, maybe.

Scoping the tasks at hand
So many things in a start up church are overwhelming. By it’s very definition, a start up church is creating something where there was nothing. And converting a school/movie theater/pub/living room in to a church service, and then back again can be daunting. Producing fresh sermons + music + creative media + topics + children’s’ [...] -

One of the tougher aspects of running tech in a startup (and/or) portable church is the cost of equipment.
