Google Makes My Life Easier, ...Again


I Love Google SketchUp. First of all, it's super simple to use. Second, it's seems to be a really powerful tool for pre-visualization of scenic, or any other, design. Third, and maybe most important, it's FREE!! I challange you to check it out and see how it can help in your workflow.

Above is the first stage of the of the design proposal for the fall set. It shows the 3D model of the stage along with hard constructed elements that we are proposing. The soft goods will be added to the next revision.

Please comment below and let me know what you think.

Collaborative Workflow

At Flamingo Road Church one of our values is collaboration. The idea that we can get more done and do it better with more people involved is a Biblical principle. Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, "A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." However, this is not only a Biblical principle, but an emerging business and web 2.0 principle as well. In times past companies told us how we were to interact with their products and they told us how to interact with data on the web. Today, companies are giving more and more control to the end user. Today's new buzz words are "open source" and "interactive experience" and "collaborative workflow." I think it's awesome! Take a look below at what Google has on the horizon.
