free worship video resources?

[mandyt]

our church is considering the introduction of meditative/worship videos during the service... (the kind that has scripture/images paired with meditative/inspirational music of some sort, centering around a specific theme.)

i know there are some resources that we could purchase, but i hesitate to spend money on something that may not fly in our congregation.

hence my question: does anyone know of any free worship video resources out there?

thanks!

Mandy,
Open from lifechurch has some high quality free video.

I haven't searched it too much so I don't know how much of it is contemplative.

Also,
We had an AMAZING video this morning about silence that our tech director made. I'll see if I can email him and get you a copy.

Hello

I know that www.sermonspice.com has free videos ever month. I don't know how often they are worship related. They do have some very good ones on worship, but they run in the $15 to $20 range.

Hope that helps

Mandy,
These are not always free, but once you get a level of confidence with what works, check in to Highway Vibe videos. They have videos set to music with text and scripture overlayed. I have seen one to Cry Mercy by DCB I think, we have some I can take a look at and make some reccomendations for you. If you are nice I will bring some to Boston with me next month and deliver them to you.

The resources posted here from media4christ and others are among several that I use, too. I try to find free resources for our media in church also. Our budget for the last 2 years has been tight due to the economy. We also create our own countdowns, image videos, too. Another idea that you can do, is if you have iPhoto or Picasa, movies can be created with the images as a moving slide show, so if you have a series of great nature backgrounds, or sunset stills for example, these can be put together to run as a video background for song lyrics. Midnight Oil productions offers monthly freebees and images as well as some good image tutorials. Sermon Backgrounds, Illustrations, Videos, Software and Media for Creative Worship, Media and the Arts | Midnight Oil Productions (http://www.midnightoilproductions.com) The site also has some great articles about media, too. This site: Free Stock Background Images Tagged: Climbing Vines ~ Backgrounds Etc. (http://backgrounds.mysitemyway.com/free-backgrounds-tagged/climbing-vines/24/) has backgrounds that are graduated in a variety of colors for each image which also make good backgounds to put together in iMovie or whatever video software you use.
