The following is a work in progress for an upcoming illustration for Malachi 3 Financial Peace.
The final rain, light effects and water drops were a final composite in After Effects CS4.
The water/ocean and background cloud image was created and animated in the Blender Ocean Sim build.
It would be nice to see this illustration used for the church being many members of the body of Christ.
Scripture reference:
1 Corinthians 12:14-27
“For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts,[e] yet one body.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.”
I’ll try to be quick and simple here and leave any additional feedback based on comments later. The following is price and setup needs for everything other than a decent PC and the presentation computer running MediaShout 4 or Propresenter. The PC build ran us roughly $1000 (i7 quad with 8gb ram). Be sure you use a full ATX motherboard like the one shown below! It will allow room for the multiple capture cards. The items below are the significant pieces of the system that make it work. The video splitter is to split a black/white stage display feed from MediaShout with text for songs coming from the stage display function in MediaShout going to a usb output device like the one shown below. That input (split into 3 signals) is keyed and replaced with one of the three camera feeds to create the 5th, 6th and 7th input selection shown in the images below. An example of the lower thirds processed live in VJDirector will be added below.

Series bumper I put together a few months ago using After Effects, Blender and Premiere. Satellite and Phone graphics were collada files from Google Warehouse.
