So, a couple of years ago for Christmas at Revolution we wanted to basically turn our meeting space into an
incredibly immersive night sky including planets, galaxies and stars. How did we end up doing it? Over 8,000
Christmas twinkle lights taped to the walls behind a sheer black fabric that covered every wall in the building.
Actually worked out pretty darn cool, but the work was pretty ridiculous.
Looking back, I wish we would have had these. I'm posting this as my first post joining in Creative Chaos at
Ragamuffin Soul. I feel kinda lame because it isn't something we have done or can speak super
knowledgeably about, but I would imagine it could be helpful to many of us in the future.
Stars A friend I made here in Santa Cruz through a company we've been using for stage stuff at our church
recently started his own company. His name in Kenny Green (that's right friends...Kenny G) and his business
is LUMINA. They sell and rent lasers. Kenny moved to Santa Cruz a few years ago to be a part of planting a
church and I had a chance to sit down with him several weeks ago over coffee and hear more about how God
led him into this business. It's a pretty cool story. And the lasers sounded pretty sweet, too. Would have been
way easier to just use those things to project thousands of stars around the room for the effect we wanted to
create!
He sells and rents the lights for special events. Maybe one of these days we can work out the time to do a
demo for something and I can let you know how it goes. In the meantime, if you're ever doing anything similar,
or want to really spruce up a youth room, outdoor architecture or whatever other creative use you can think of
for lasers, check him out and let us know what you think!
Tell him I sent you over and I'm sure he'll hook ya up too! Right Kenny?! ;)

Lasers n' Fog

Last Night we had a great time at Elevation. Kenny Green and his crew from LUMINA Lighting blessed us by
bringing over some wild lasers and foggers and turned our worship space into a unique place to hang out with
Jesus. Kenny you rock buddy thanks!
The room was alive with lasers, extra l.e.d. lighting, mucho fog and the people were alive with interactive
worship: dropping sin stones in water, writing words of thanks on the video screens, taking communion,
meeting with the prayer team to share needs and reading Psalms into a live mic over a warm sonic backdrop.
Omar and the band led us into everything from loud rocking songs (watching about 120 people physically spin
around during Marvelous Light is something to see) to gentle reflective pieces like Heart of Worship. As usual,
a ton of us mobbed Woodstock Pizza for community afterwards.

We had the most beautiful wedding Saturday in Pebble Beach. The site was a private Country Club. The colors
were shades of yellow, white, cream and champagne with gold accents. Truly a luscious and close to my heart
color pallet. Our biggest obstacle was how dark the ballroom was. There were large vintage wrought iron
chandeliers, but not much else in the lighting department. Solution- Candles! We used over 300 votives, plus
over a 100 pillar candels in class cylinder's of various heights on the tables, the fireplace, and the lounge
space around the dance floor. We also added small twinkle lights to the balcony overhead where the Bride and
Groom shared their first dance, as well as tossed the bouquet and Garter. In addition we used some LED can
uplights to spice up the dance floor/ lounge area (provided by DJ Raffi from Sound in Motion), and a gobo
projected the couples new Monogram on the dance floor(provided by Lumina out of Aptos, CA). The
result of all this lighting was magical. All the lighting costs came in under $1000, but made such an impact! It
was the most romantic room we have ever set up, the crystals scattered on the tables between the candles
glittering underneath huge tulip vases of Lacey white hydrangeas. Stunning! So ladies, DON'T FORGET THE
LIGHTING!!!!!!
