We have a number of collections on sale right now. These are perfect if you want to get a number of videos for one low price. These DVDs are a great buy for smaller churches and ministries that don’t have a huge media budget. For the price of one or two mini-movies, you can get several that can be used all throughout the year. Check them out here.
We get requests fairly frequently for more content in Spanish. Unfortunately, there’s usually not much we can do, except agree that we wish we had more to offer. Today, however, we’ve got some great news for those of you with Spanish speaking services. Last week, Igniter Media released Spanish versions of both That’s My King and That’s My King (Remix). This is very exciting and has been a work in the making for some time now. As you may know, That’s My King is one of our all-time most popular products, so we hope that Ese Es Mi Rey and Ese Es Mi Rey (Remix) will resound with Spanish audiences in much the same way as the originals did with English speaking congregations. As an added bonus, Igniter Media has decided to offer a That’s My King Collection on DVD that includes all four versions (two English and two Spanish) for only $17.98.
If you have been watching our Just Added videos you may have seen a curious producer name in the mix, BlueBoxMedia. We decided to ask them some questions so here you go! Enjoy this interview and remember our producers are people too!
WHM: How did you get involved in digital art and motion graphics?
BlueBoxMedia: Well, about 4 yrs ago I was attending a church that had a very talented media guy doing videos and motion graphics. His work inspired me so I decided to jump into it, and as all good media guys know you GOT to start somewhere! so I did! with Windows Movie Maker. I still have my very first video somewhere on some hard-drive stuffed in some box. Boy that was a funny video, loaded with default transitions and movie clips. Anyways, eventually I wised up and put myself in an internship where I was underneath someone who knew what he was doing, and I literally started filling myself with information from tutorials to hands on experience. It’s been a fun ride so far and I can’t wait to see what God does next!
WHM: What programs do you work in to create your videos?
BlueBoxMedia: The major programs I use is Adobe Suite, C4D and FCP. Pretty standard stuff. But, like I said earlier… It all started with Windows Movie Maker 
WHM: Where did the name blueboxmedia come from?
BlueBoxMedia: The name “blueboxmedia” came from two things. The first thing was that my favorite color is blue, and the second thing I was trying to think of something that could be a fun way to describe what I want blueboxmedia to be. For that I had the idea that all good things come in boxes. So eureka! the name blueboxmedia was created. It has my favorite color and its a box full of media.
WHM: What is your favorite type of church media to use?
BlueBoxMedia: My favorite type of church media to use, is the kind that is relevant to your audience. Which is why I like WHM so much! it allows church’s from across the world to find media that is relevant for them personally! There are many really good producers here on WHM and its an honor to be working along side them in bringing people relevant content to “The Church” across the world.
WHM: What would you say to a church who isn’t yet using media about its value?
BlueBoxMedia: The best way I could describe it is simply look at how Jesus taught. He almost always talked in parables or “stories” that related to the people he was talking too. Jesus used relevant content to preach the Gospel so that people could grasp what He was talking about. That’s what I love about WHM. WHM provides relevant content for everyone in all different situations and styles. Content that will help preach the Gospel in a unique way.
WHM: What is your favorite movie(s)
BlueBoxMedia:My favorite movie(s) .. now this is an unbelievably hard question! There are so many good movies out there. Recently I watched “Inception”and I thought that was a brilliantly told story! I don’t know..I like a lot of movies, like most people I don’t think I can nail it to just one.
For those of you working within a tight budget, here is the latest installment of “This Week’s Deal”. You’ve probably seen Centerline New Media’s recent bestselling mini-movies, GOD IS and GOD WANTS US. But, have you seen their new motions and countdowns? Right now, through this Sunday (8/29), they have five volumes on sale for 50% off. Check them out here. If you love high-quality countdowns and motion backgrounds, you really don’t want to miss this one.
Earlier this month we added some great small group curriculum from The Hub to WHM. Until now they’ve only been available as DVD sets. Starting this week we have the individual sessions from the Philippians series by Matt Chandler (The Village Church) and the Song of Solomon series by Tommy Nelson (Denton Bible Church) available as digital downloads. In the coming weeks, we’ll be making more of the curriculum from the Hub available as individual downloads. In the mean time, head over to their producer page to see everything they have to offer.
For the rest of this week Igniter is offering their individual DVD volumes for 50% off. It’s crazy. Take the newest volume (vol09) for example… It has 5 mini-movies on it including 2 Best-Sellers for only $14.98! Did you catch that? $14.98 is the price of each video download BY THEMSELVES. It’s a great deal.
So go check it out here!
I know that your church never struggles with money. Your giving far exceeds your expenses week after week, right? You never have your finance director (or committee) breathing down your neck to tighten your belt. Of course not.
The above may be true for you, but I’m willing to bet it’s not. That’s why WHM and our producers try to not only keep our normal prices low, but also provide some really great videos and backgrounds at discounted prices. We have an entire section in our store called “On Sale!” that I recommend you bookmark and check often.
But to make it even easier for you, I’m going to begin featuring hot content that’s on sale here on the blog. So… here goes.
Here in Dallas, we can’t remember the last time the high was only two digits, BUT despite evidence to the contrary, fall is just around the corner. In a matter of weeks the leaves will change colors, pigskin will be thrown and temperatures will drop. So why not go ahead and stock up on some countdowns for this fall, like this one by Steelehouse Media Group for just 4 bucks. They have a ton of countdowns on sale right now for $4.99 or less.
Also included are their two best-selling countdowns, Techno Countdown and Heavenly Clock Countdown Black.
Modern Parables is the name of the DVD and Download sets of some of the best short films I’ve seen for small groups. The films do such a great job of bringing the parables of Jesus to life. This teaching tool is absolutely fantastic. I love all of these videos, so I couldn’t pick a favorite to highlight. Watch the trailers on the website and if you think they will work for your small group download the videos!
LyonTamer is a new producer to WorshipHouse. Give them a warm welcome by taking a look at the new videos they have. Each mini-movie is a scripture reading set to interesting visuals. Soon to come will be a Small Group series based on the I AM statements of Jesus. Take a look at let us know what you think!
My first month at WorshipHouse has been quite the whirlwind. My first few weeks we were busy preparing for the Echo Conference, and I’m just beginning to catch my breath and settle into my new job: serving our customers, producers and partners. I’ve been a huge fan of WHM for several years and I’m thrilled to now be a part of the team. Among other things, I’ll usually be the first person to pick up the phone or answer customer e-mails, so I thought it might be good to introduce myself.
My wife and I live in an old house in east dallas with our two dogs, Franklin & Eleanor. I’m a history-buff-wannabe (if the dogs’ names don’t give that away) and spend an inordinate amount of time with my nose in a book. We are a part of a wonderful church here in town, and spend as much time as we can with our church family.
As I said before, I see my job as service, and I look forward to serving you as you advance the Kingdom via some of the best media available.
Meet the new WorshipHouse team (I’m the one on the right):
