nate -
good suggestion. honestly, this was just an un-edited iChat video recording.... but as we do more (or any type of blogs) then it's definitely something we'll consider when it's appropriate. you can check out my blog (worshipVJ.com) or Camron's blog (visualworshiper.com) to see examples of our work. Camron's blog has some great photos on it.
i'll be working on a new VJ video to post....hopefully in the coming weeks.

I've also thought about posting some controversial/debatable images and talk about how we should or should not use them. it's formulating in my head right now.

there's so many good examples out there...and so many bad examples, too. it's hard to write about them and demonstrate them in the context of a blog..."visual worship" is best experienced in the context of corporate worship.
But we'll still try.

for now, i suggest getting that book (it's on Amazon) and reading it.... many of our friends are doing it now (just search "visualworship" on twitter), and i think that'll help get everyone on a level playing field so we can start some heavy discussions.

lots of work to do...

Josh,

It's interesting dialog. I very much appreciate their depth of understanding about how worship can be an experience, but shouldn't be entertainment, and about how they see their work as more than doing cool stuff with lights and video.

If I can make a suggestion, images or video of Steven and Camron's work--examples of "visual worship leading"--might have made better use of the video medium. Just a thought.
