This past year has been a bit nuts. I have kept feeling God calling me to expand my reach outside of my home church, Journeychurch.tv. I love my church and felt like God was calling me to stay though.
I pretty much chalked this up to me being a crazy person... until God gave me the inspiration for Modscenes.com
Through a crazy good opportunity to design a huge scenic set, I ran into the need for a bunch of modular scenic panels. I found that Atomic Design was really the only game in town. They make some of the most amazing products you will ever see. That being said their panels didn't quite meet the needs of our design, so I decided to try and make some modular panels myself. Through the process of designing and later CNC cutting these panels for my client, I realized that this could change the way churches do stage scenic. I could help churches to create great environments for a fraction of the time, and with a small investment.
Where I think this really shines though, is in small to medium sized churches. Many small churches still lack the resources to create a beautiful stage design. Most of the time, i've found that time and workload is the most scarce resource. Mod Scenes makes it a step easy by simplifying the needs of tools, time, and labor enabling a worship pastor and a few members of the band to setup their entire stage in an hour or two. The stock panel designs are designed so that no matter the orientation they create a dynamic backdrop. This makes it easy to setup, even for someone who is not skilled in visual design. Lighting is also simple, a few up lights and they look like gold! (picture below) (That pun was so very intended... I may have wrote this entire post to use this pun...)
In all seriousness, I am super stoked to see how this is going to help the church create environments for worship. Our generation is one that highly values visual art and this is just one more avenue to engage people so that the local church can share the gospel. I cant wait to use them and see them used for God's glory!
Awesome design. Who said church lights have to be boring.
