A.C. Lighting Inc. is hosting presentations by Tim Ottley, lighting director of Asbury United Methodist Church at the Worship Facilities Conference and Expo (WFX), in Louisville, Kentucky. On Wednesday, September 21st and Thursday September 22nd, Ottley will be providing expert tips and tricks on using environmental projection in a worship environment.
During the fast-paced, ten-minute presentations – ‘Environmental Projection Tips, Tricks and Tim' – the lighting director will explain how he uses the speed, power and simplicity of ArKaos MediaMaster Pro, together with a Jands Vista console, to inspire the congregation in Tulsa, Okla., with powerful and creative visuals.
Tim will guide his audience through the seven elements of environmental projection and discuss the importance that video plays in the worship environment – with stunning examples from his church's recent Christmas and Easter productions. He will also talk through how he uses environmental projection to change Asbury's sanctuary from a traditional church setting to a thoroughly modern worship space in only 30 minutes.
He will give his talk at 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm on Wednesday and at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on Thursday.
"Product-wise, I can’t underline enough the value of the ArKaos MediaMaster Pro software..."
Tim Ottley
Lighting Director.
Tim Ottley says, “I'm excited about coming back to WFX – the event is always such a fantastic networking and educational opportunity. I'm also thrilled to be partnering up with A.C. Lighting. Not only does the company offer fantastic products that will lead to environmental projection success, its customer service is simply second to none.
“Product-wise, I can't underline enough the value of the ArKaos MediaMaster Pro software when it comes to creating dramatic visuals and a truly communal worship experience. It makes life easy because it is so powerful and has everything you need in one box. For major church installations, its simplicity is invaluable.
“I run the software on a Jands Vista console due to its stability, reliability and intuitive interface – which makes realizing even the most complex and grandiose of my ideas straightforward.”
The former manager of American Christian metal band P.O.D, Tim has worked at Asbury United Methodist Church for six years. During this time he has radically transformed its lighting and audio-visuals and has installed one of the largest environmental projection systems in a church in the United States.
At Asbury, Tim has created a dynamic and truly immersive worship environment. For example, one Easter he created a majestic panoramic scene of the garden of Gethsemane around the interior of the church. On another occasion, he transformed the room into a subway station for a sermon series titled ‘Mind the Gap' – with the call to worship being a subway train rushing past.
Attendees may visit A.C. Lighting Inc. in booth #701 at one of Tim's allotted talk times during the WFX show, to see his presentation.
