Free HD Video Site


Just finished putting together a vimeo site for free video backgrounds! I called it "Worship MacGyver" (go figure) and you can access it here (http://video.worshipmacgyver.com). As worship leaders on a budget we have to be very resourceful in finding the elements we need to create an awesome worship experience and be good stewards with what God provides us. This new video channel is dedicated to pulling together resources from talent around the web to provide us the resources we need to create awesome worship experiences on a budget! All of the videos in this channel are HD at least 720p. Most are loopable so they can be used for song support. There are several countdowns and song support videos as well. Most importantly all videos uploaded or shared to this group must be free! Hope you enjoy. If you have some other great worship video resources comment on this post.

Great Free Photo Site



Wanted to tell you guys about a great free photo site that has literally thousands of photos that I have used in several videos over the years. The web address is http://www.sxc.hu/. Don't worry, I know the domain looks funky, but it is legit. Here's how it works. Create a free account, then when you search for a photo, say "cross", there will be photos at the top of the page that you can buy from iStockPhoto, but at the bottom of the page are the free photos that you can download instantly in high-res! Many times there are more free photos than pay, so it is a great resource. This site has been a life saver for me over the years. A lot of "free" sites have a few photos that aren't the greatest, but this site has a lot. Let me know if this helps you out!
