Jonathan Decker from Journey Church in Phoenixville, PA brings us their great use of creative ceiling tiles.
They currently meet in a theater, so they’re portable.
For the panels lining the back of the stage on the screen, they used drop ceiling panels from Mio Culture. They made five 6′x4′ sections. They were all lit with Chauvet Colorrails. The lights facing out horizontally were four American DJ Megatribars, and on the corner posts were two Blizzard Flurry Washes each. To wash the walls red they used two Northstar Intelligent washes.
The TV’s were 40″ Sanyo’s. The screen was courtesy of the Colonial Theatre.
Approximate series cost:
Light posts were made with 3/4″ or 1″ OD black galvanized piping; about $20-25 per 8′ section.
The Mio Culture panels were $98 for a 24 pack, so they spent $196.
The drop ceiling framing cost approximately $100.
I write and speak about the creative process – especially for churches. Call me a resource for the church creative wanting to make their ministry better.
Great set Jonathan! You guys are doing great stuff over there!
did you frame it with normal drop ceiling framing pieces? What kind of supports are keeping the wall vertical? Looks great.
Thanks Adam! You are too, watched your announcement with BranchCreek, that’s awesome!
Ryland- We did frame it with normal drop ceiling framing, and we screw it into the stage every week and rest the center sections against the screen supports, and the side sections rest against the walls. Thanks!
Love the set Jonathan! Was wondering where you purchased your tile frame from? And was it a time consuming process to piece it together?
Thanks.
Thanks Taylor. The frame that the tiling is in is drop ceiling framing from Home Depot. The process of making the frames took about 2-3 hours total and just involved tin snips and a drill.
Jonathan Decker is the man…
thank you for stating the obvious ryan deal. steve defrain is the mastermind of the design though.
