Since we project on the screen at the back of the stage, we also align our text to the top of the slide, so it’s easy to read. I’m also intentional about keeping colors coordinated between by motion backgrounds and lighting design.Ī quick note about font. Sometimes I use one background per song, and other times I use multiple backgrounds throughout a song. Sometimes I will use one pack of motions for the whole service to keep the look consistent, and other times I’ll mix it up. Each week I work through my setlist in Ableton and cue up the right background at the right time. I use Ableton Live to automate everything in ProPresenter. I drag and drop the appropriate packs in the playlists and then I have a large collection of backgrounds to choose from. In ProPresenter, I create playlists within my video/image bin to match the selection of packs. I have a master folder for all of our motion backgrounds and then subfolders for the different packs. We store all of our backgrounds in Dropbox. They make it really easy to either download the complete bundle or save it to Dropbox. With my premium account, I can also browse through their previous packs. Every month they come out with a new one.
Next, I find their latest pack of backgrounds. I have the premium account which gives me unlimited access to their creative assets. On the Church Motion Graphics website, I log in to my account. They always look great and complement our stage design. In a matter of seconds, I can download high quality, non-cheesy, abstract motion backgrounds into ProPresenter. That is why I’ve been grateful for the resource Church Motion Graphics has been for me over the past few months at Mission Lakewood. But that takes a lot of time to shoot and edit. Sometimes I enjoy making my own motion backgrounds by capturing footage here around Colorado. For so many years, the realm of worship backgrounds has been plagued with cheesy graphics. They must look amazing, but not be distracting. When searching for visuals to add to our screen, my criteria is pretty simple. Motion backgrounds are kind of a big deal. Not only does it project lyrics but it also plays a significant role in the aesthetic of our stage. At my church, we project on a wide screen at the back and center of the stage. In most worship gatherings, the congregation spends a lot of time looking at the projection screens so they can read along with the lyrics of the song. The question of the day: What do you use for motion backgrounds at your church? Include links so everyone can check them out.
