this month on proost we release VJ Loops 1. this contains 5 movie loops from mark waddington – candles, flames, fireworks, spectrograph and dancer. mark was part of grace for many years before moving to yorkshire and in fact he still is part – of the grace diaspora!
if you are wondering what a VJ or a loop is a VJ is like a DJ only mixing visual images, and a loop is a short movie clip that starts from the beginning once it has finished – i.e. it loops. these VJ loops couldĀ be projected in the worship space as a texture, ambience or visual wallpaper for the soul. there are various pieces of software that people use to present – powerpoint, keynote, arkaos, easyworship and so on. whichever you use or even if you are using quicktime on its own you should be able to set the movie to loop so that it keeps playing/looping. we play loops like this most of the time during worship as background, with words over the top, during prayers…
they are available in the movies section of the site as a bundle for a fiver. happy new year from proost!
thanks for all the feedback on nine by the way – seems like people loved it. we’d love to hear how you used it in practice if you have a spare moment. i’m meeting jon this afternoon to plot what we are up to for lent…

Found the nine via Tall Skinny Kiwi and used the scripture selections for our Advent Christmas Extravaganza on our podcast. Had our listeners call in and record themselves reading the passages and then mixed in a great variety of Advent/Christmas songs from various artists.
