APC Stage Design - May 2012

This past weekend, we unveiled our new stage design. This will also be changed slightly for the CD recording next week. This design features over 1,500 play pen balls (like the ones from McDonalds or Burger King). For the CD recording we are also using moving head lights. My first experience with them as well as Allison Park's first time using them. SO PUMPED! Here are the lights we're using:

  • American DJ Par 64 LED Pro Cans (8)
  • Chauvet COLORdash Batten LED Lights (8)
  • Martin Mac 300's (4)
  • Chauvet Q-Spot 575's (4)
This design was design all by my good friend Brendon Robinson. He just finished his junior year studying digital media communications at Valley Forge Christian College. He did an amazing job with this design! Here's some pics of the designs. I'll post more with the moving head lights.

APC Live Recording | Almost a Week Away



May 23 is either going to be D-Day for me or it is going to be one of the best days of my life. I'm hoping it's the best day. But on that day APC is doing a Live CD Recording. Dave Santistevan and a bunch of other people on our worship team have written incredible worship songs. Titles include, To God Alone, Your Great Love, We Cannot Stay Silent, Undying Love, and so much more. The only reason I said the death of me part, is because I'm doing the lighting for the event. And when you're doing a CD recording WITH A DVD, everything has to be FLAWLESS. Plus I'm working ALL NEW EQUIPMENT. Lighting list includes:

  • Chauvet Q-Spot 575
  • Martin Mac 300
  • All controlled by a Leprecon LP-X24
I will post more on this as the event comes closer.

Easter Sunday - Huge Success!


Easter Sunday Service

I have to say, that was one of my FAVORITE Easter Sunday services I have ever worked. Here were a few stats (both on the visitor side and on the tech side)


  • Allison Park Church alone had 2,195 people walk through the doors between Saturday and Sunday
  • 7 Different services were offered; 2 on Good Friday; 1 On Saturday; 2 Normal Easter Weekend services; 2 Easter Sunday Sunrise services
  • All of APC's lights were in use the entire weekend
  • 4.5 GB of services videos were produced after services 
  • 2 very tired service producers at the end of it all

Easter Media - (Love this time of Year)



There are four times a year when I love doing tech work. Kidz Kaboom, Winter Retreat, Christmas, and Easter. The video above from Worship House Media we showed as a worship intro to our service two years ago. One thing I love about Easter, besides the fact that this is the day we celebrate Jesus' ressurection from the dead, is that Easter brings out the best in the media/music world. It's a time to do stuff that you have never been able to do before, or bring in new equipment. Here's our video from Easter Sunday last year.
