Just recently upgraded our church production by $80,000+ can’t wait till everything comes in!!

My unsolicited/unprofessional advice: don’t drop a chunk of change on cameras and lenses without good lighting.

I have always been a big fun of Bethel and their production. Thanks for taking me closer to them

Our church took a course with Chad Vegas (the video director at Bethel) and they have taught us so much about areas, switching, movement, and just how to look as good as Bethels stream.

We've been trying to get the best value out of our production equipment and this video helps tremendously! So excited to keep growing online as a church

Thanks so much for the videos on Bethel! Love them! I have always wondered how they do their production and now with these and their official production channel, it's so helpful. I appreciate all you're doing for us, Jake!

10:20 i love that. that is how a good supervisor is and how he/she guides his/her team

Thanks for doing this bro. I've learned so much from the two other Bethel videos you posted. Gonna run this one back a few times. Super thankful for the work ya'll are doing.

Absolutely love these series on Production. Watching from Northeast India, Nagaland.

This is perfect for me, our church just ordered a camera and wants to use multiple POV. Thanks so much!!

Thanks..God bless you..

Thank you. Peace&Blessings

I think this video is more of a top level overview, rather than a deep dive into their setup. If you’re common to the production world you’ll recognize some of the EF lenses just by looking at them, but I would’ve loved a more in-depth look at their broadcast lenses and why they chose them, camera connectivity, their choices for wireless HD on stage, and even color profiles/LUT choices. Obviously this will change for each church depending on lighting, distance, etc...but knowing their approach could prove useful. Either way, Always enjoy you giving us a closer look at Bethel’s setup! Thanks 🙏🏽

Thank you for this series, it has really helped open our eyes to better ways of doing things, even on a much smaller budget. We just made the commitment to upgrade to a Living as One streaming solution thanks to seeing it used frequently in the various churches you visit both large and small. Ours is definitely on the smaller side but we are confident that it is going massively improve the reliability of our live streams. That has probably been the biggest struggle with our last few streaming solutions.

I think I'm crying. It's that nice

Very useful information..

I always wondered how this stuff works! Thanks for this video!

Very cool. We are going the PTZ route as we have a traditional new england church building so space is limited. We also have limited volunteers so PTZ allows us to have one camera operator for all views.

Thank you for this! Great information presented in a streamlined way!

Glad to be here

LOVE IT (From Chile 🇨🇱)

I tapped the like button, I didn’t want to break my display. 🤣

Heres another note about the pocket cameras from BMD: they DO NOT have SDI ports. You'll need to purchase additional equipment to convert the signal for longer runs. SDI is a much more robust connection. I wouldn't trust anything else.

Hi Jake!!! Lots of love from India. Please do a video on intercoms for multi camera production

This is awesome.

GREAT

It’s interesting though because in some of the music videos some of the cameras are shooting faster frame rates while others seem to be on a steady 24fps so I was hoping to hear why they have 2-3 cameras shooting at what looks like 60 and the others are at 24

Looks good and we do multi-camera at my church BUT we don't want any cameras between the congregation and the stage.

Good work

Good afternoon. You can tell me the answer to such a question. We have a ATEM Production Studio 4K. We plan to buy four Blackmagic Ursa mini 4K EF cameras, but there is a Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 4.6 K EF G2 video camera on sale. Is there a difference between these camera models in church video shooting? (in worship video shooting)

Wondering what the brand/model of the dolly setup is.

Really cool! What track system is that?

Canon cinema series camera are solid also.

I would love to see how these production crews communicate. Production meetings and live situations. What equipment used to communicate that’s budget friendly. Any links would be appreciated.

Great videos! But minor critique is equipment and level of setups getting beyond scope of smaller churches as far as ability or knowledge of video work and budget….. smaller churches I think more likely to watch these like myself, churches who using equipment in these videos have team of people handling media for them at this point, really enjoyed the videos for basic setup focused on beginners and budgets but realize doesn’t apply to everyone, great job guys though!

You should contact Friends Church in Yorba Linda, CA to schedule an interview! I’d be happy to provide a contact.

Thanks for this production. Are there possile solutions for completely wireless production camera system with transmitters. This is for placements on the roof or truss for aerial views indoors. Bottomline, i don't want to run cables at all to the production mixer. Any possibilities out there?

What zoom lens are you using for long-distance shots

God bless you family. Cruz from Puerto Rico, I would like to know what equipment do I need to stream wireless from a Sony a6600. It’s for my church.

do a tech tour for #Transformation church

Thanks Jake, great content as usual. Are you able to list the specific video wireless system Bethel use? Or any cost effective video wireless system that you know of that you could recommend?

Good day sir Sir please the Livestream of my church is very bad How can we make it better

ha! in our dreams...we are using sling studio - worked with a very limited budget.

hey what do you use to communicate to your camera persons

Hey Jake! Do you happen to know/remember what kind of wireless transmitters they're using on their handheld cameras on stage? Thanks!

I feel the background music level is detracting and distracting from the actual content.

Pertaining to the crane shot, how is manual focus controlled? I didn't see any controls in the shots that I saw. Great video! Appreciate the tour! Context: Right now I'm working on speccing a crane shot using a BMD Micro Studio Camera. I am struggling to figure out how to control zoom and focus. I was thinking about using a Lumix Vario PZ lens, that has motorized zoom and autofocus. I am worried about the autofocus going rouge and producing bad shots. Any advice with that? (I would love to use a B4 lens, but I am on a budget) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Awesome video again!

Whats there wireless setup like what are they using ?

Hi, we just received our Pocket 4K and starting out single camera at the front. I am wondering if there are any preferred LUT's to use or acquire outside of the included LUTs, that'll give us that broadcast quality look? In our context, we aren't doing dark or low light; we are lights on all the time.

Great review! Question: I use the HC-X2000 Camcorder to stream with Atem mini extreme by connecting it with an HDMI cable (I'm not in rec) after 5 minutes the camera turns off. How can I deactivate stand by. Thanks!

Hi ! Super interesting video ! How do you manage focus pulling on the crane/jib camera ? Is there only one operator for the jib ?

Thank you for these great videos! One question, What are your thoughts about the BM Studio Camera 4k 2? I don't have the budget for the Broadcast camera, but I would like color control for my cameras. Do you have any experience with the Studio Camera 4k 2? Thanks

What dolly/track system is that? Been looking for a solid one for ages but haven’t found a great one yet

What are they using to get their camera signal back to the switcher for the moving manned cameras?

What kind of walkies and headsets do you guys use???

What’s the best video camera under 3500?

Our church recently bought the canon xa 40 camcorder and wanted to see what you guys thought of it compared to the black magic pocket cinema 4k because they come in at a similar price

He said everything pulled a manual focus, how are they doing manual focus on the crane?

What LUT are they using on those cameras? Even with the ATEM they have you have to send image with the LUT.

Hello my friend! Hope you are keeping safe ? Kindly help me on this technical matter. I currently stream 1080p 60fps using 1,000kbps bit-rate while my internet upload speed is 20mbps and it gives me optimal output quality, kindly advise me, if it's possible to same 1,000kbps for multi-bitrate but using a 70mbps internet upload speed without having any issues

I read "handheld keys" and I was like, what?? They use a keytar??

What sort of intercom do they use to communicate between camera operators?

Are their handhelds streaming to the console via Wi-Fi?

Whats the white canon zoom lens the guy was changing zoom by pushing forward the lens element?

What Jib/Crane is used here? Anyone have good sources to different brands/price points?

What do they use for wireless cameras or is everything ran over SDI

What I would like to know how on earth can these places afford this?

There is no list. It redirects to schedule a meeting.

What's the intercom kit they use?

what kind of jib are they using?

Whats is the main lenses of Bethel?

anyone know what cage bethel uses, i really like it

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎥🎥🎥

Anyone know the details on the track set up?

cool. but all of that has nothing to do with worshiping God. when is it too much?

I wish Bethel put as much effort into sound theology as they do music production.

Why do modern American churches seem to hate letting in God's good sunshine? No windows!

What is your obsession with Bethel

Bethel is a church... Ah, news to me.

"You don't want to have another bethel church" Worship leaders/churches worldwide 😧😧😧😨😨😨😲😲😲😲😕😕😕😕 Lol

This is a tragic confusion of heavily produced entertainment with worship. The two can exist in parallel, but one should never be confused with the other.

This can’t be real, cmon

Bro u know this isn’t a church right? If I were you I wouldn’t associate myself with bethel just saying.
