This is a behind the scenes look at the shoot we did with Larry Osborne and Chris Brown from North Coast Church.

Sometime we have more than one shooter but for this we had the usual two man crew, Jeff interviewing and myself (Sean) shooting.  I started the Zoom H4n capturing the audio and the two HDSLR’s capturing video and then cycled them every 12 minutes because of the recording limit.  Meanwhile I shot with the Canon Vixia, hand held, continuously for the shoot.

Here is the final result.

The reason I chose to make the final video black and white was to try and eliminate as much discrepancy as possible between the HDSLR footage and Canon Vixia footage, which looks very different.  Adding the grain helps that as well but is primarily added as a style choice.

Breakdown of the Gear Used in this Shoot

Video Cameras:
-Canon EOS 60D Digital SLR Camera
-Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR Camera
-Canon VIXIA HFS100

-Zoom H4n Handy Portable Digital Recorder
-Sennheiser EW112PG2-C Transmitter with ME2 Omni Lavalier/Portable Receiver x3 (or a model like this…)

The stage lights.  We brought minimal light on The Creative Leadership Tour so the stage seemed like a good idea.

-Joby Gorillapod Focus on a random chair
-Cam Caddie Scorpion EX Pro Kit

“I think North Coast is really offering one of the freshest and most interesting approaches to continually creating space for new people. North Coast is both addressing how to keep growing and how not to be monolithic, and that to me is an important conversation that’s being had all over the country.”
- Erwin McManus, Mosaic Church, Los Angeles

“When you get a chance to be around a pioneer in some field and you can learn from them, where they have taken missteps and then corrected, you get way ahead of the game. Back when I was on staff at Willow Creek Community Church, we started doing regional centers that used video teaching, And it was very helpful for our team and was helpful for me to go out to North Coast Church and find out things they had learned about what works and what doesn’t work when you use video teaching to create multiple venues for worship – the benefits for the church are huge.”
- John Ortberg, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, Calif
