Meeting as a church virtually (3)

Here are the first andsecond posts in this series (as it has become).So, we can now meet in the buildings.  No singing.  We sit 2 metres apart (unless we are in the same household).   In one church there are tables and chairs set out, in the other the cinema style seats are up or down and must remain so.  No one can move to another chair.   No one passes on the stairs and there are one way systems.  There is hand sanitiser and wipes.  No one else can use the space for 72 hours afterwards or we have to deep clean.   When it becomes law in England to wear a face covering in shops and the like, we will do that too.But we are still making videos for YouTube.  Not everyone can go to a meeting.To save the minister ' s time (and, I have to say, the time of her technical assistants), we film the " sermon " at Tapton Church and put that on YouTube.  We do this with a Sony Handycam video camera which the churches have bought so our elder son can take his digital SLR with him when he goes off to resume studies in the autumn.I still compress the file with HandBrake, and enhance the audio, although I guess file size is less of an issue now we have proper 21st century broadband to upload it!But I have had to edit the video.  It ' s easy to start the camera on time and end it promptly when the speaker is in her living room.  And if need be, we can record it all again. ...
