In spite of our best efforts, we simply are not able to guarantee that most of the people in the new members group will look engaged when on the screen. As a result, we want to pull back from the directive to simply put shots up of the new members whenever Josh is not looking at the congregation.<br /><br />This means a few things:<br /><br />1. The camera director with the help of the video producer must carefully assess any shot of the new members before putting them on the screen. If you have questions about it's usefulness, don't use it.<br /><br />2. Camera operators must be looking for good shots, too. It's no longer enough simply to get a shot of people. You must find the shot of the right people.<br /><br />3. Panning is now outlawed. Don't do it.<br /><br />4. The best thing is to spend more time on Josh, and then occasionally switch to a new member, then go back to Josh. Don't feel pressed to leave the Josh shot unless you are confident you have a good shot of the new member.<br /><br />5. Did I mention that panning is outlawed?<br /><br />Post more questions here, if you have any. Note: I think this will apply to child dedications also, but stay tuned for more on that.David Wilcoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02402220042714122920noreply@blogger.com
