"I want a white house with blue shutters." (TN)

Where to begin? It has been a busy, busy two weeks. After working on Easter service preparations and the stage redesign, today has been a welcome day of rest. Now that the stage is up, let me explain our concept through the development process.

1) Meet to discuss layout, changes, goals to be accomplished with new stage
a) Move drums and sound cage out of side sightlines to the video screens
b) Change aspect ratio to 16:9 screens from 4:3
c) Add space to stage for more room for worship team
d) Add space for intimate speaking platform
2) Come up with a design
a) Something different than previous design
b) A concept that adds height to stage
c) A concept that adds background in video display
3) Determine materials and obtain cost for budgeting
4) Determine color palette and texture
5) Obtain materials and begin pre-build
6) Clear stage of previous set
7) Finish build onsite
8) Begin ideas for next stage concept

Things come up during the concept build, and everything evolves within the concept. Our current stage is a version of our concept, but far from exact. Adjustments had to be made, but I think everything came out fine.

I'll attempt to get some pics of the current stage up.
