wv0027 Poppies 1
7'00" 16:9 widescreen
A field of poppies, with a green hill far away. Focus is on the closest flowers, but in the HD version it is possible for the astute viewer to discern ripples in the long grass on the hill as the wind blows through. Reminds me of waves of troops advancing in battle together with the poignanct symbolism of not just one poppy but thousands across the field.

So here we have a worship video background full of daffodils with busy traffic skimming the top of the shot.

wv0025 The Cob
7'30" 16:9 Widescreen
A view along the Cob, an embankment built to relaim the Glaslyn Estuary in Wales.
At 3'14 a train crosses our view, obscuring the hills and water beyond. 40" later, as it travels into the distance we see the last carriage has large glass windows - an Observation Saloon.
This video could be used to pose a number of questions as we worship:
Are we sitting back, letting others pull the train while we sit back and enjoy the view? Looking back at where we've come from rather than forward?
Or are we thankful when God carries us safely above turbulent waters below?
And there is always the joke about keeping on the 'Straight & Narrow'

Creating video backgrounds for contemporary church worship, passionate about creating the link between times of worship and all aspects of daily life.
These short samples provide Catalogue Numbers, names and guidelines for placing text when used in Powerpoint or worship software (SongPro, EasyWorship etc).
The area outlined by bold lines should be fine when using data projectors or computer screens: the smaller areas indicated by thin lines are a better guide if standard TVs are used for display (remember the monitors in the creche, foyer or transcepts!) which often make greater use of overscan (where the frame of the set covers part of the picture to avoid unsightly blank areas, just like a picture frame over a photo)
