Elevation Matthews
Aug 22nd
We attended the kickoff 6pm service for the new Matthews campus of Elevation Church. It was really great. We got there over 30min early and the parking lot was almost full. Everyone was really excited. The band played some great worship songs and Pastor gave an inspriring and convicting message from Daniel 3. They had to set up 3 overflow rooms and turn away 100 cars due to the lack of spots to put the cars and people. The new auditorium seats 900 and I wonder if around 1500 or 1600 people tried to come. There will be 4 more services at that location tomorrow and a total of 11 worship times across all three campuses of Elevation Church. God has really blessed this church body.
On set

I got a chance to do some more VFX Supervision this week. The shoot was outside in the direct sun so it was hot and sticky. I rented a Sigma 4.5mm fisheye lens to take HDR panographic images with. The lens is cool. I’m still learning how to get them properly stitched together. The spot will be fun and challenging to complete. I will post something when it’s finished.
Another CAVEMODE success

We put on our second CAVEMODE(Charlotte Animation Visual Effects + Motion Design) meeting last night. The room was packed again and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Thom Blackburn gave an interesting talk on using the Red Camera in a low budget commercial. Brian Pace delivered a presentation on Organizing Your Workflow that sparked some good discussion on how to manage and streamline projects. I am very excited to see CAVEMODE taking off and I look forward to seeing it mature and grow. Charlotte has needed a community like this for a long time.
