In worship services all over the country, projectors are displaying the text of the song on large screens for the audience to view.  Most of these presentations use animated backgrounds to enhance the display.  There are several places that I would recommend you look when getting ready to acquire these animated backgrounds.

Digital Juice produces high quality backgrounds that have been packed in what they call Jumpbacks. They have over 50 different bundles to choose from each containing a wide array of backgrounds. They are packaged according to themes and are a high quality. They retail for $99, but are frequently on sale for much less. They are a great resource for your graphic needs.

Another quality source for animated backgrounds is Digital Hotcakes. They have an entire worship series of animated backgrounds. They are high quality products for about $49 per package. The one thing that Digital Hotcakes provides that is exciting is access to free backgrounds. The offer free downloads from their current inventory and they offer a free demo DVD containing several backgrounds.

In a few weeks we will be having a series of tutorials that will teach you how to use Apple’s Motion 3 program to create you own custom backgrounds. Motion is a high power application that is very user friendly. Keep looking for these tutorials coming soon.
