Interhigh - RISE

This past week our tech team has been preparing for Interhigh's RISE event. It's a special kick-off event for Gracepoint's regional youth ministry - Interhigh. We're going all out again for this event just like we did for NSWN. But we're doing things a little different this time.

1. We're rotating our stage and setup 90 degrees - thus we're going for a tighter look.

2. We're going to use word overlaying live video. We're going to do IMAG for the praise and overlay the song's words on top. We'll have a camera upfront near the stage with a wide angle doing the "jam cam".

Our video switcher has some pretty cool functionality. We'll be using 3 inputs for our Canon HD Cameras, and Sony PD-150 and another s-video input with the song's words coming from ProPresenter. Using a chroma key function we'll be able to merge the s-video signal (words) over the live feed of the singers/instrumentalists. Nice! It's a big change for us and a first. I'm looking forward to this monstrously cool effect. With the lights, haze (we got 2 more haze machines) I can't wait! It's no U2 concert but hey, I'm still digging it.
