Dan V. has been working hard to allow our users to choose their format when downloading a video… we’re pleased to announce that we have implemented multiple format options in many videos (adding more every week).

Here’s an example:

We are currently offering four formats:

480p MPEG 1
480p Quicktime
720p MPEG 1
720p Quicktime

We are pretty excited that Eliot Mooney and our video 99 Balloons will be featured today on Oprah.  Today’s epidsode features Celine Dion and the topic of ‘miracle children.’ Matt and Ginny are supposedly interviewed on the episode so we shall see.  We are honored to play a small role in Matt, Ginny, and Eliot’s story and I look forward to Oprah’s audience getting to know this little boy that has effected us so greatly.
So, watch and/or record Oprah today.  It should be a great show.

And by the way, we decided to price 99 BALLOONS 50% off for a limited time.

We have posted a handful of our videos on Vimeo… Why do this? Well, first of all, the quality is better than YouTube.  Secondly, you can embed them in your blog, myspace, facebook, whatever… So, check out our Vimeo page, bookmark the page, check back often for updates, and share your favorites.

If you are a media guy, church creative type, or just want to see a lot of cool stuff in the world of media, you must follow Bart Damer’s blog.  It’s a great place to get inspired and see cool stuff that Bart is working on.  Bart is a creative director here at Igniter Media and if you use Igniter stuff, you’ve already seen some of his stuff.  We love having him on our team and are excited about the resource his blog will be.

Hello and welcome to the Igniter blog.  Thanks for taking a second to leave feedback in our comments section.  We’ve got a lot of exciting stuff coming from Igniter, but we want to make sure that what WE are doing is what YOU are needing.  Please leave us some feedback on your media needs.  I’ll ask some sample questions that would help us:

1. What are we doing that we definitely need to KEEP doing?

2. What are we doing that you almost NEVER need?

3. What is something we aren’t doing that you WANT?

Thanks for taking time to let us know.

Our Uber Pack (includes everything….I mean everything) is on sale for two more days.  Save $100 bucks on it now.

Discussion Question: Would anyone be interested in a ‘finish my Uber’ deal… where we give you a good deal on the volumes you don’t have?  Let us know, but also let us know what else would be appealing.

Our new friend, Zuriel or ‘Z’, started work on Monday and is a great addition to our development/programming team.  We are excited to have more help in that area as he will join Clint and Dan in the ever growing area of need that we have.  Starting out, he’ll get to help the team on the new WorshipHouse site as well as lots of other things, hopefully some stuff that will show up on the Igniter site!  Z says he’s not very quotable, but then said: “I’m excited to work in a place where I can bring my creativity to my job.”  I’m no expert, but he sounds heck of quotable.

RT Productions, Inc. consists of Igniter Media, WorshipHouse Media, Collide Magazine, and Echo Conference.

You can’t have enough motion loops… that’s what my parents always said to me as a youngster… okay, maybe not that, but they taught me to say ‘yes sir’ and ‘yes maam’ when speaking with adults.  It’s just polite to use those terms… I’m still trying to teach my daughter not to ask our dinner guests to leave… while we are eating dinner.  What was this blog post about?

Our team headed out to Ozona’s this past Friday night and had a great time hangin’, eatin’, talkin’, and rememberin’.  I got to hand out a 5 year book that I put together in iPhoto and it’s pretty cool… shows our company history in pretty good detail.  It really is amazing to see how blessed we’ve been and it’s a great reminder of why we’re doing what we do.  I am very thankful to the people that have bought Igniter videos, that use WorshipHouse, that subscribe to Collide, and that came to Echo.
