Has it really been twenty years or more since music videos captured our attention on VH-1? (In those days, we were exhorted, with a little help from Sting, to let our local cable companies know that we wanted "our MTV".)

Today, churches large and small are producing videos with production techniques and gear that’s more sophisticated than what was available in the 80s. In this issue of Shure Notes, we’ll help you understand what it takes to get the best audio for your video projects – whether you’re recreating a bible story or capturing a panel discussion.
