A Pretty Girl In Her Underwear // PUMA
I am a firm believer in the fact that churches do not have to spend large sums of money in order to provide visually stunning environments.
Here is an example of innovation and low budget coming together.
Not that PUMA does not have a huge pocketbook.
They do.
But they accomplished turning a white room with a few props into various wonderlands with the help of a few projectors.
The most amazing feat is that both actors are in their underwear the entire time and the clothing you see is nothing more than projections onto them.
BRILLIANT!!!
If a man with a baritone voice singing about pretty people in their underwear disturbs you then watch this instead. (and watch until at least 1:35)
Now go create…
Los
RAIN IT DOWN
HAHAHAHA nice second video…amazing…
I'll just throw it out there… for some churches, a few projectors is a huge sum of $.
Just found 4 on craigs list with 10,000 lumen, each 100 bucks or less.
Exactly, I have a friend that is part of a church in the middle of nowhere up here in NY that just got it's first computer in their office this past week. It's all relative but for them to drop $100 on video would seem huge.
Would it be worth it for them to spend even $800 on creating an environment? YES! Would it seem like a huge amount to them? Yes.
My 2 cents. This is just to get the creative juices flowing . . . there are still tons of things that can be done for hardly any money at all to create a great environment. This week are are just moving EVERYTHING on the stage to a different place and re-blocking all our lights and swapping out some gels. Cost = $0. In a few weeks we are adding some banners (that do have a small cost) and probably changing the look again. I can easily think of 20 things your friends small church could do that would cost less than $25 ea. to add some creativity to their services.
I know . . . how narcissistic do you have to be to post a reply to yourself . . . but it just occurred to me that I should blog about those 20 ideas for less that $25 ea. I'll get it up this weekend.
Yeah..some props from discount stores, some colored christmas lights, and strategically placed candles and other items, alters visual imagery each week…I am starting this with my youth group just by hitting consignment sales, discount thrift stores, and people wanting their attics cleaned out.
I cannot believe I watched almost the whole second video. hilarious! the first video…cat's pajamas!
I'm lovin that Los is tryin to bring back "cat's pajamas" and that it seems to be working… haha
Totally.
Hey man..for real. If your buddy needs a projector and can find one like Los found for $100…for real I will buy it for them.
dang, that's crazy cool.
That seriously rocks. I just sent that to the Creative Team I am on for our message series planning. I hope to be that resourceful and creative some day!
no words.
Glad to have you back in the Twitter world Carlos.
wow that first vid is awesome. so creative!
This is just another reason why I missed my Ragamuffin Soul.
how touching..*sniff* (i missed it too)
The first one is cool. Innovative and different. Don't see a lot of churches projecting clothes on some unclothed people, but I am sure someone can steal the idea somehow : )
no,but we could probably project shoes onto all the feet with flip-flops
Our whole stage design for the past couple months cost us about $70. We are in a real tight financial time like a lot of other churches, but it doesn't mean you stop creativity. When things are tough it is time for the artists of the church to step it up since most of them live off of near to nothing year round anyway.
True that! I'm workin on a plan to make my stage look more awesome…er. There will no doubt be some cost involved, but we're pretty good about being good stewards at my church (as I'm sure we all are) and we'll make it happen by spending the least amount of money possible!
That Puma clip was quite possibly the most amazing idea I've seen in a WHILE! I'm not a huge fan od people running around in their underwear, but I think I'm still impressed!
nuts
Totally. You just nees a black room and a rad video editor
Well you got it back.
Fellowship painted Dex… http://www.vimeo.com/1797430
Ok that was a good video. Any idea if there was inspiration from the first or since the church video is six month ago where they unrelated.
thats some nice imaging
Then you would not like our house.
Ha! Just kidding.
i'm in my skivies right now
This is one of my favorite videos…. so amazing!
Vimeo works half the time for me, so this time I was not disturbed by the underwear people because it didn't work.
that was cool…and those old chicks can bring it! and play the trumpet…
I like to build and design props and we've been able to do some trick stuff for plays with all sorts of junk that most people throw away, lumber, etc. I visited @brettaljets at Whipplecreekchurch.com last week and they have a skate park in the sanctuary. Every Thursday, hundreds of local youth come from Vancouver,WA area to skate inside the sanctuary. Would you do this?
we're not going to see you on here with your underwear are we??!
Puma sandals are very beatiful and particular.Many people like them.
