Managing a team can be difficult, especially for new leaders. Visual collaboration tools and techniques can help improve productivity while boosting leadership abilities.
Working to expand its online offerings beyond audio webcast, Saint Thomas Church in New York, NY began filming video recordings of its services with a one-man video team for its extensive religious community. The original webcast production process ended up being a laborious and time-intensive endeavor, taking up to 15 hours to produce the broadcast of each service. It included setting up cinema cameras, shooting the services, adding b-roll, editing footage and sound, and then uploading for online viewing. As such, the Church wanted to find a more efficient remote production solution. Additionally, the pandemic further underscored the opportunity to deliver online content to its congregants when the Church was required to limit in-person visits in accordance to social distancing measures.
Seeking to enable the community to worship from home while fully feeling the sanctity and the immersive music experience of the Church, Saint Thomas Church explored video solutions that would capture the beauty of its ornate Gothic architecture and the moving spirituality of its services through high-quality livestreaming.
