Chicago Area Church Purchases PixelFLEX LED Curtains After Successful Easter Weekend Test Run

	Harvest Bible Church's Easter celebration with PixelFLEX.

Harvest Bible Chapel already knew of several advantages to PixelFLEX's FLEXCurtain. After a rewarding weekend celebrating Good Friday and Easter, and using PixelFLEX as a tool to accomplish their goals, Harvest knew it was a product that would continue to enhance their various worship events.

At the multi-campus church in the Greater Chicago area, Easter is a weekend-long celebration. Josh Buendorf, Harvest's production manager, worked with PixelFLEX to rent 20 panels of 20mm FLEXCurtain to add to the weekend's productions.

"Good Friday and Easter is sort of the epic part of the year for us," Buendorf said. "We really focus on Good Friday and the death. That's the major production for us. The theme was to do a dance party in celebration of Eastertime. We turned our campuses into -- I don't know how else to describe it -- a Christian version of a night club."

For the dance party, the panels were used as impactful eye-candy. Harvest Bible Chapel restructured a series of popular worship songs to make them appropriate for dancing, then used colorful and fast moving motion graphics to match the music. During the course of the weekend, the FLEXCurtain was also used as a backdrop behind Harvest's worship band, and in the church lobby to add emphasis to a short film the church created to kick off Good Friday.

The celebrations were deemed a success, and Harvest Bible Chapel purchased four 20mm FLEXCurtains to use between their seven campuses and countless events. The panels will also play a role in "Act Like Men," an upcoming conference that challenges men to strengthen their faith and be a role model for their families.

"We always are having youth events and other things going on, so to be able to have a product that's lightweight and can bend that I can set up, tear down and easily ship around to different places is fantastic," Buendorf said.

PixelFLEX's LED curtains are easy to operate and set up -- videos and images can be sent to the screen using any computer with a DVI-D connection. Flexible in all directions, the FLEXCurtain is able to bend and shape around structures for a more creative display effect and can be stored in a single road case to simplify shipping (or storing) logistics while minimizing transportation costs.

"It was great to work with Harvest Bible Chapel and their multiple campuses," said Will Dickey, PixelFLEX senior sales representative. "The mobility of the FLEXCurtain was an ideal solution for them and I'm proud that the Easter weekend celebration sealed the deal."
