Nashville Regional Bengali Conference

Nashville-Regional-Begali-Conference-2011 (23)

Springtree Media Group was happy to be apart of the Nashville Bengali Conference for a second year at Embassy suites Cool SpringsSpringtree Productions was responsible for all production elements of the three day conference, from stage to video projection.

Bengali included all sorts of presenters from speakers, musicians , to dancers. Our stage included a closing curtain and tons of LED lighting. Two rear projection screens displayed power point presentations and live video from our two robotic cameras, enabling everyone to have a great view.

Our QCS K Series system provided clear audio to all audience members of speakers and musical artists.

Does this resemble your church on Sundays?

You know it might not be your fault…

Poor sound quality, especially clarity could be the culprit.

Fire shooting moving Heads!

Fire shooting moving Heads!

The perfect video for a summer Friday

For the annual Vivid Sydney Festival, Howard & Sons Pyrotechnics ripped out the optics of some moving heads and put flame heads in their place. Then timed the flames to Katy Perry’s Fireworks, for we must say the effect is pretty spectacular.

Franklin Theatre Grand Opening Speakeasy
Gray’s Drug Storefront – Downtown Franklin, Tn
Friday June 3, 2011

As part of the Grand Opening celebration for the newly restored and renovated Franklin Theatre the vacant Gray’s Drug Store storefront was transformed into a roaring 20s speakeasy to fit the grand opening’s 20s theme. Guests were able to step inside the Speakeasy and step back in time with live jazz, cocktails and card games.

Springtree Productions  lined the walls with pipe and drape to give the space a much more intimate feel. Event partners brought in small tables, a bar, and other décor items. Springtree then used LED lighting to create mood lighting for the room and to highlight the five piece jazz band. Springtree also ensured that the band was heard throughout the venue utilizing lightweight but powerful QSC K12 speakers.

Be sure to visit the Franklin Theatre online, on Facebook, and on Twitter to learn more about their upcoming events.

Mixer Innovation Remote Mixing

Mixer Innovation Remote Mixing

We came across a great post from  Behind the Mixer on the Top Four Benefits of Remote Mixing.

This article is church/worship centric but easily applies to any application of the great benefits of being able to remote mix.

Behind the Mixer’s Top Four Benefits of Remote Mixing:

  1. Mixing monitors on the stage
  2. Mixing in the sanctuary
  3. Sitting with the family
  4. Mixing from the best position

Read the whole article with examples over at  Behind the Mixer.

Springtree is a huge fan of Allen & Heath’s iLive system and their intuitive ipad MixPad app because of the level and control it offers from anywhere in WiFi range.

Remote mixing is just one of the features offered by iLive that makes it the digital console we recommend.

Learn more about the iLive system and our promotion on our iLive website. or call us at 615-599-1505, we’d be happy to tell you more about why we think iLive is a perfect fit for churches.

Northside Baptist Church recently made the switch from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio. Springtree removed the existing screen and placed the new screen back a few feet to eliminate some additional televisions that were used for side view.

Clearview Children’s Worship

Clearview Baptist Church
– Franklin, Tn

Several years ago when Springtree Media Group was hired to provide audio video and lighting for the new chapel, we also designed and implemented a unique children’s worship facility. I was recently called in to run sound and was delighted to see that several years later the room was functioning flawlessly. The room was designed with the black box theater concept in mind; everything modular and capable of implementing change thus keeping the room fresh and relevant. Rather than building new sets for every teaching series all actors perform in front of a widescreen projected image that can place them on an island one week and on a mountain top the next.

The room is lit 100% with the use of LED lighting; From the Mega Panels on the ceiling to the Tri-LEDs for the stage, multiple effects and colors are available with the push of a button. The control center, dubbed the starship enterprise by those who run it, is set up for ease of use and functionality.

It is the greatest complement to learn from the children’s Pastor Shane Pass that dozens of children’s Pastors have traveled from all over the country to learn from Clearview’s facility.
