Television, no longer the dominate medium of Western culture, is still an impressive cultural force, one that many churches were never able to take advantage of. The Internet, however, that new dominate medium, has lowered the bar for churches to get as close to that old medium after all. Live-streaming or uploads to YouTube or Vimeo have allowed more churches than ever to use video as a method of spreading the Gospel. It’s like we’ve entered into the Second Age of Video, via the Internet.
Even with all that the Internet has done to make this easier, it’s not the easiest thing to film your pastor every Sunday. Why? Because pastors move. Unless you’ve got the volunteers to run a camera—not to mention the space in your church to place a camera platform and operator—a stationary camera is not going to cut it.
That’s where Pixio might just be able to save the day.
