Church Production Magazine: When it comes to picking a projector system for any church, there are a lot of variables to consider. When that church is small and portable this list doesn’t get any shorter. Some of the factors you must consider include ambient light, projection surface, and brightness of the projector. And this doesn’t even take into account contrast ratio, lenses, inputs, lamp replacement and maintenance costs. Add to this the ever-changing innovations in the market, like the introduction of laser-illuminated projectors, and you now have a list of potential projector systems that is very long. How does one go about shortening the list? The first thing you need to do is define the important, need-to-have options.

I am currently in the Media stagecraft mini, so I found this article particularly interesting and relevant. I was able to understand almost all of the terminology, such as keystoning and corner-pinning, and understand all of the variables and factors that go into projecting any image, especially on to a strange surface, such as brick or a church wall. I know for a fact very few students in the freshman class have media and projection experience, because the type of design and technology is just starting to become mainstream, and I really appreciate the depth this article goes to in explaining the choices that go into a projection set-up, and the maintenance required for these systems. I also think it’s really cool that places like churches are starting to use projections. I personally am a visual learner and think visual storytelling is the most universally effective form of communicating an idea. Youth groups in all religious institutions could benefit from a visual projection system to provide really detailed and helpful visuals to aid understanding of their teachings, and kids in the new generation will react and respond very well to the technology, I think.
