Green Screens in Ministry

Recently, I purchased a green screen studio kit from Ephoto, Inc. for the church as a way to enhance our video arsenal, and it is a huge hit right now. The Youth Pastor has already developed ideas for videos to use in sermons, as well as, the lead Pastor who likes to shoot promo videos for upcoming events and Facebook videos. Working with green screens in the past I knew the versatility that it offered but using it in church ministry offers so much more than I have anticipated. Green screens give another dimension of creativity that seems limitless for churches. Instead of asking, where in the church can I film today or where can we go in town that I don’t have to go through the paperwork to film, the question I’m asking is what background or setting do we want. It is amazing how something so simple as a green background can take your videos to another level.
I definitely recommend any church getting a green screen kit that has a media ministry or wants to start a media ministry. A simple kit can open a world of possibilities and endless imagination in your ministry. There are many kits available at all price points to fit the needs of every budget. I recommend checking out Ephoto, Inc. because of the affordability of their products and their great customer service. The key is to research, also to know exactly what you are looking for and what your needs are. I have found that VideoMaker has awesome articles about choosing the right green screen, lighting, as well as other resources about video in general. Using VideoMaker magazine as a go-to resource is invaluable to any church media ministry that is in the beginning stages or have been established for quite awhile.
