Things change fast on the interwebs. Really fast.
In 2009 and 2010, Jesse Orndorff posted links to some great free video loops and motion backgrounds for churches here and here. Those two articles are, daily, the most popular posts on this blog!
Unfortunately, things changed. Fast. In just five years, nearly all of the links in those two posts are either no longer available or are no longer free.
So, for your viewing pleasure, here are 7 new church media sources. Together, these gracious servants have made more than 100 video loops, mini movies, motion backgrounds, and stills FREE and available to churches.
Be sure to thank them when you stop by, and happy downloading!
Free Video Loops For Churches
FREE VIDEO LOOPS FROM CHURCH MEDIA DESIGN
ChurchMediaDesign.tv was started in January 2008. The goal was to provide those working or helping in local church a better understanding how to use media. They do this through Tips, Tricks and How to segments, as well as freebies and inspiration segments.
They’ve produced over 90 episodes ranging from topics like podcasting, announcement slides, 3d text, Background loops and inspiration segments.
FREE STUFF FROM DAN STEVERS
As of this writing, Dan Stevers offers eight amazing, free video loop packs. The Winter’s Daybreak Video Pack alone contains more than 20 clips! Started in 2009 by director and animator Dan Stevers, DanStevers.com was launched as a resource for creative Christ-centered mini movies. Their shorts are designed to be catalysts for discussion and are a great addition to worship services.

“Dan Stevers creates animations that accomplish the most important function of any medium, effective communication. The bottom line is, Dan Stevers’ work is a benchmark for any aspiring animator.”
