The Digtree Website

This website is a part of the work of the Dig Tree project in helping the church develop and use multi-media and technology in its mission. The idea is to essentially create an open publishing community that uses a copyright framework to enable members to share resources without fear of breaking the law, but also protects the interests of the original creator.Given we are all very new at doing this kind of stuff we are testing features and will progressively be enabling them for use. We are taking this slowly so that we learn how best to provide access to the resources.

We hope in time that this website can be used to help you collaborate on multi-media projects.

The Church Tech Blog

This blog is about church media and communications. My views and opinions are expressed here to help both church staff and volunteers understand how to grow healthy teams, create consistent communications in their ministries and creatively communicate to an increasingly media-savvy culture. I also talk a lot about the technologies I think can be leveraged for the local church.

Enhance

Enhance is a lectionary based multimedia resource designed for worship and educational settings. Volume 3 (for Year A) consists of 110 animations. Each animation is a collection of original scripts, imagery, music and animation and is inspired by one or more of the weekly lectionary texts. Some are reflections, some are prayers, some are inspirational, thought provoking or challenging, some seek to introduce a theme or gather people in or send people out. Others are just plain good fun.

The animations are indexed by title, theme and Bible reading, so you don’t have to be using the lectionary to get great value from this resource. Enhance animations are designed to be run from the Enhance database or inserted into your church or schools software presentation program.

One Small Barking Dog

One Small Barking Dog began its life back in 1994 out of grass roots youth work. jon miles, a top young man doing a year out, got all empowered by his then youth worker, pip piper, and an adventure in creative media began.

lego animations, funky interviews and clubby visuals, all done on begged and borrowed cheap gear, got some recognition and contacts with serious professionals.  Soon we were reeling under the potential of our new found path and late one night we were visited upon with the name that would launch all of our canines - one small barking dog.
