There’s been a great discussion in the comments of my previous post, “Why Digico Over Avid.” Keep those comments coming, to me that’s the best part of the blog. I love hearing other people’s opinion on things, as it causes me to re-think my own. A few comments really got me thinking; specifically comments that [...]

Flying Without A Net: Running ProPresenter 4 Live
This year, in the midst of putting together the most ambitious theatrical production we’ve ever undertaken, I decided we needed one more challenge. We have been running Keynote as our primary presentation platform for some time now (since long before I arrived) and I love Keynote–but not for this application. I have been planning a [...]
The Importance of Camaraderie
Can we acknowledge the elephant in the room? Being a Tech Director is hard. A lot is expected of us; knowing all things about all manner of technology, pastoring our volunteers, supporting that woman in children’s ministry who can’t figure out how the DVD player works, the list goes on. To make things more challenging, [...]
ProPresenter 4 Is Coming!
I haven’t been writing much about ProPresenter lately. Mainly because I haven’t been using it that much since my transition to Coast Hills. Right now, we use Keynote exclusively for our presentation needs (at least in the main room). That’s about to change, however.

Preventing Insanity Among Presentation Volunteers
By now you probably know that I’m all about the volunteers. I keep tweaking my systems, formulating new processes and trying to come up with new ways to make life easier for our volunteers. Recently, we implemented something that has gone a long way to lowering the blood pressure of our ProPresenter operators. It’s so [...]
Off-Site Remote Controlled Servers
This one falls right near the line that separates “pretty darn useful” and “because I can.” Since I’m now charged (for another few weeks anyway) of administering a Leopard Server, I need some way of running said server from home. Mainly because I don’t like driving to the office at 9 PM to run software [...]
Recruiting Tech Team Members
There are few activities that tend to strike fear into the heart of a technical arts director quite like recruiting for the tech team. Large-scale productions for Christmas & Easter? No sweat. Running ProPresenter and TD’ing the weekend (’cause my volunteer didn’t show up)? I can do that. Programming moving lights on the fly? In [...]
