Synopsis:
The twenty-five moving images on this CD-ROM can be integrated into your ministry or worship experience by adding color, reflection, and life to the organized worship situation.

Description:

From the advent of the nickelodeon and silent films to the first summer blockbusters, the concept of images that actually move—that come to life, that put us right in the middle of the action and the drama and the emotion—has proven powerful, at tames controversial, and always attractive. Even riveting.

That’s why emergent YS brings you the Moving Images for Worship. This series of products are geared to enhance the act of worship through the medium of artful, compelling film and video shorts.

In this installment—Elements, Volume One: Video Backgrouds on CD-ROM to Aid in Spiritual Reflection—you’ll find 25 distinctive video clips that will add color and atmosphere to any kind of worship gathering.

The video backgrounds in Elements, Volume One are thematically open-ended, created to stir any number of emotional reactions. The subject matter varies from a waving American flag to hands working with pottery and people traversing a city crosswalk.

They can be used in conjunction with a live worship band or as a stand-alone imagery (e.g. walk-in video, ambience video for fellowship, communion, offertory).

Elements, Volume One contains QuickTime® movie files that will play on Macintosh® and Windows®-compatible computers with QuickTime®. These clips can also be used with presentation programs such as Microsoft® PowerPoint® and MediaShout®.

Elements, Volume One is a visual experience you’ll turn to again and again, not only for enhancing corporate worship, but also for bolstering times of personal, individual communion with God.

Elements, Volume One was conceived by Highway Video, a small band of visual creatives based in Palo Alto, California. The Highway folk—like many of you reading these words—understand the power of visual media that connects postmoderns to God. Highway reaches more that 3,500 churches and ministries in the U.S. and Canada, spanning virtually every denomination and variety of church experience. [Elements, Volume One is also available from Highway as Highway Video Elements, Vol. 1.] Check ‘em out at www.highwayvideo.com.
