Shiloh was looking to improve the technical production of its services
USA - Coach Vince Lombardi once quipped that “football is two things: blocking and tackling”. Although quarterbacks and running backs receive most of the glory, it’s the fundamentals, believed Lombardi, that actually win football games. The team at Morris Integration followed a similar philosophy when they stepped into Shiloh Church for the first time in early 2018.
A dynamic house of worship in the heart of Oakland, Shiloh was looking to improve the technical production of its services for worshippers at the church, as well as for those streaming services online. Ultimately, Morris Integration was able to provide the church with more dynamic stage lighting by installing Chauvet Professional fixtures. However, as their team pointed out to the church, before they did that, they should also address something more fundamental: the quality of its house lighting.
“When we first visited the church, it became apparent very quickly that we needed to address the house lighting of the room,” said Paul Holst, Morris Integration’s lighting designer. “We took an FC reading of the room with the houselights at full, and they were only getting 4 FC.”
Morris Integration had a Chauvet Professional solution for that issue too: the Ovation H-605FC house light. A total of 16 of the RGBA-Lime LED fixtures was installed throughout the sanctuary, providing an even field of light in the room.
Once it addressed the “basic” need of upgrading the church’s house lighting, Morris Integration turned its attention to designing a stage lighting system that could create a wide variety of dynamic looks that engaged live audiences, while also coming across well on camera. The rig the company put together features 10 Rogue R2 Wash, six Rogue R1 Wash and six Rogue R1 FX-B fixtures, as well as six Maverick MK1 Spot units and eight Ovation F-265WW Fresnels, four Ovation FD-105WW Fresnels and 14 Ovation E-260WW ellipsoidals.
The new system gives the church the flexibility to go from soft subdued lighting to bold fast-moving designs to support music and special moments in services. This has earned rave reviews from the worship pastor, who told Morris Integration, “Thanks for making our church look amazing.”
