Friday Favorites: ‘The Voice’ set design

I have become a fan of NBC’s ‘The Voice’. I love that the coaches (no judges this time) were first invited to respond to performers without seeing them, only hearing them.  I love that, as the show has progressed through it’s various phases, it seems to be about truly coaching, encouraging, and showcasing vocal talent. And I love that performers and coaches all seem to be having fun. At least so far.

This past Tuesday, Blake Shelton’s team performed a Maroon 5 song, ‘This Love’. The performance is great. But I’m posting this because of the set design. Read more

Design, build, paint… our first stage design.

The stage in our new worship space was designed as a bit of a blank slate so that we can create elements that visually enhance the worship experience.  We have now done this for the first time.

Our pastor started a new sermon series August 1 called ‘LIFE: Ten Stories”.  Each Sunday we explore a different Bible story. We’ve tried to think about kids and families and various generations when planning how we work through these stories. 

Visually, we were inspired by the 1960′s era box for the game of Life.

Based on this and some brainstorming, one of my favorite artists came up with our stage design.

So… giant letters were made, giant panels were painted and hung. And ten large plywood boxes were built to continue the blocks-of-color theme on the sides of the stage.  The boxes will probably be painted black after this series and used forever and ever in all kinds of places.

All of this was done in a week-long blitz involving quite a few people. I’m thankful for a husband who can do this kind of thing in his sleep (really. I saw it.). I’m thankful for an opportunity to include our kids in a project.  And I’m thankful for all the people who helped along the way.
