Capture’25 is coming soon! This is the ninth year for the video production, streaming and digital communications summit for churches and there’s so much in store for attendees this year. It will be held for a second time at Woodlands Church in The Woodlands, Texas, June 24-25. “Woodlands Church, led by Pastor Kerry Shook, is a hugely influential church. We’re thankful and honored to be presenting the event at Woodlands Church,” says Church Production Editor and Capture Founder Brian Blackmore.

AJ Layton is the lighting director at Grace Family Church in Tampa, Florida. As part of this Church Production Road Test User Experience, Layton and his team agreed to try out ADJ’s Focus Spot 7Z. The fixture offers 20,000 Lumens of output and beam-shaping features that include CMY+CTO color mixing, animation wheel, rotating gobo wheels, prism options and frost filters. “We got to use it during our weekend services over a couple of weekends as well as our youth service,” Layton explains.
