When I arrived back at my office, I offloaded the footage on my external hard drive, imported it into Final Cut Pro X, and began selecting my favorite clips. I put my GH5 on the stabilizer and captured some abstract ice footage. Once I was done at Loveland Pass, I headed home and stopped by a frozen lake. After a couple hours, I came away from Loveland Pass with about 15 excellent pieces of footage. Once there was more light and the wind died down, I flew my drone down a valley and then over summits. I grabbed another cool shot of a hiker climbing up a trail. My first shots were of clouds moving past the mountain shots. Once it was bright enough to shoot, I got out gear and started filming stationary shots.


Once it was light enough for me to see around the pass, I scouted the area for ideal shots. I want to capture footage during the early morning hours, so this means I need to leave my house at 4AM, pack up my gear at my office, and be up the pass by 6AM. For this shoot, I chose Loveland Pass in Colorado. Capturing stunning footage can be a lot of work. I have a bunch of other gear like lenses, cards, and other accessories as well.īut the tools listed here are the backbone of my kit. There are some downsides with a smaller sensor and the color science is not as good as canon, but for me the other features outway these downsides. I love their portability, battery life, and recording specs that blow comparably priced cameras out of the water. Panasonic GH5 - This is my 1 camera recommendation for anyone wanting to get serious about video production but does not want to buy an overpriced Canon cinema camera.

Stock footage is not edited to loop - I want footage that can loop seamlessly in the background in ProPresenter. Most of the clips have too much movement and people in them that can be distracting in worship. The style of shooting is not right - Most stock footage sites do not shoot for the purpose of using their footage for backgrounds.

I like using clips in worship that are over 30 seconds. The clips are too short for use in a worship environment - Most footage on stock footage sites are not long enough to use in a worship environment, meaning the clips would loop every seconds. While I could purchase and download a bunch of stock footage from places like lightstock. Now that high-quality video production has become affordable and accessible, I think we have an opportunity to use footage in worship rather than motion graphics. Most of the existing motion backgrounds consist of abstract motion graphics. Read to the end because I have a free gift for you! As I begin my new interim worship leading role at Mission Lakewood, I need to begin building up a library of motion backgrounds to use in ProPresenter.
