1. Use Countdowns to get things started on time. Ever wondered if you had enough time to to get something from the car, use the bathroom or get another cup of coffee before some event? Perhaps you’ve been the presenter and have had difficulties getting everyone’s attention to get things started. Why not use a video countdown to let everyone know they have 2 minutes and 21 seconds left to do that one more thing before the show starts? Let the video do the work!
2. Hold the audience’s attention with motion! Let’s face it. We prefer color images to black and white, and moving images to static ones. Even simple motion added to pictures offers a richer viewing experience everyone will appreciate. Use motion backgrounds by themselves, within Power Point, or some other application.
3. Finally, let’s talk about return on your investment. Most churches don’t employ a special media team, with video production experience. But a wonderfully, cost-effective way to take things up a notch is to simply purchase and download pre-made videos. Buy them once, use them forever! Let’s say you invest $4 to $5 dollars per completed animation, and use it only once per month for the next year. That translates into less than.42 cents per use, and even less as the years roll by. Again, with no special skills required. Most users will download them to their laptops, run a video cord to a projector, play the video, and the presenter will look like a techno-genius! That’s worth.42 cents each time, isn’t it?
