Brooklyn & Queens, NY · Serving Faith & Educational Institutions

Your broadcast
doesn't sound like
your room.

Every service, your message lands exactly right in the room. But the congregation watching from home hears something different — and that gap costs you credibility, reach, and the people who can't be there. You deserve a production department that finds the root cause, designs the fix, and stays until your audience hears what your room hears. That's what JMG builds for institutions that don't have one.

The Insight

The equipment isn't the problem.

80% of church and institutional livestream problems trace back to two root causes: LED brightness mismatch and absent front key lighting. Most institutions have already spent serious money on audio and video gear — the problem is that nobody designed the system to the room, calibrated it correctly, or trained the team running it.

That gap — between what happens live and what your audience actually experiences — means people stop watching. They don't come back. And your institution's message, which deserves broadcast quality equal to its weight, reaches fewer people every week.

"One institution had spent three years and thousands of dollars troubleshooting their broadcast. We found the root cause in twenty minutes — without replacing a single piece of equipment. Their online audience tripled in ninety days."

JMG closes the gap between what happens in the room
and what your audience actually experiences. Free to start.

What Changes

Five ways your broadcast gets fixed.

Your institution gets a production department — not a one-time vendor who disappears after load-out. Every engagement builds infrastructure that lasts after we leave.

01

Your System Gets Diagnosed

A 90-minute walk of your broadcast environment — audio signal path, camera placement, lighting, and stream output. You leave with a written diagnosis of what's actually wrong and a plan to fix it.

First 90 min free · $125/hr thereafter

02

Your Service Sounds Professional

Broadcast-grade live sound mixed by a certified engineer on DiGiCo consoles with Waves processing. Your room and your stream finally match — every week, every event.

Who This Is For

Your institution's language. Your institution's standard.

Every vertical has a different way of working, a different set of pressures, and a different definition of success. JMG adapts to your world — not the other way around.

Live audio and video production for churches, synagogues, and faith institutions in New York
🙏

Faith Institutions

Your congregation at home should see what the room sees. When the broadcast falls short, you lose the people who can't be there — and they don't tell you why they stopped watching. JMG closes that gap so your message reaches everyone it's meant to reach.

Churches · Synagogues · Temples · Mosques · Independent Ministries

🎓

Educational Institutions

Your auditorium has equipment nobody knows how to use properly. Your graduations and theatrical productions deserve to sound and look professional — for the students, for the parents, and for the institution's reputation. JMG makes that happen within your budget cycle.

How It Works

Three steps. One hundred days. No guesswork.

Every JMG engagement starts with listening — understanding your room, your goals, and the specific gap between what's happening and what should be — before we ever touch a piece of gear.

01

Diagnose

Free 90-minute calibration session. We walk your broadcast environment — audio signal path, camera placement, lighting, stream output — and write a diagnosis you can read and act on. No commitment required beyond the session.

→
02

Design & Deploy

A production solution matched to your space, your budget, and your people. We install, calibrate, and train your operators on-site. We stay until your team is confident — not until our clock runs out.

→
03

Follow Through

30-day check-in call. 60-day system review. 100-day health check. Most firms disappear after load-out. JMG stays in your corner for the first hundred days because that's when the real questions come up — and that's when your team needs a partner, not a manual.

Questions

What institutions ask before they call.

Transparent answers to the questions most production firms avoid — including the ones about money.

Still Have Questions?
What happens in the free 90-minute session?

We walk your existing broadcast environment — audio signal path, camera placement, lighting, and livestream output — and identify the specific gaps causing quality problems. You leave with a written diagnosis and recommended action plan. No commitment required beyond the session.

Do you work with churches that already have AV volunteers?

Yes — and it's one of our specialties. We don't replace your volunteers. We calibrate the system so their work actually sounds and looks right. We'll also train your team to operate at a higher level with the gear you already have.

Can we rent equipment without hiring JMG for production?

Absolutely. Our Gear & Go package puts Sony FX3 cameras, lenses, and tripods in your hands for $695/day. DiGiCo consoles, Teradek wireless, and lighting are all available standalone. We include a 30-minute orientation call with every rental.

Do you travel outside of Brooklyn and Queens?

Yes. We serve institutions across Brooklyn, Queens, and beyond — nationally for events. Travel costs are always included transparently in project proposals — no surprises.

How is JMG different from hiring a one-time AV contractor?

An AV contractor configures the system and leaves. JMG operates as your institution's production department — we diagnose the root cause, design a lasting solution, train your team, and follow up at 30, 60, and 100 days. We're not here to sell you equipment you don't need. We're here to close the gap between what happens in the room and what your audience actually experiences.

What does JMG actually cost?

The first 90 minutes are always free. After that, consulting is $125/hour. Packages range from $695/day (equipment rental) to $5,800/day (full production with crew). A one-time infrastructure engagement is $3,200 flat. We publish our pricing because you shouldn't have to call just to find out if you can afford us.

When is JMG NOT the right fit?

If your institution already has a fully staffed, experienced production team and your broadcast system is performing the way you want it to — you don't need JMG. We also don't do installs-only without a diagnostic first. If you just need someone to mount a TV or run cable without understanding the system, we'll refer you to someone who specializes in that.

Should we hire an in-house AV tech or contract JMG?

A qualified in-house AV technician typically costs $45,000–$65,000/year in salary alone — before equipment, training, and benefits. JMG's infrastructure engagement is a one-time $3,200 with a 100-day follow-up. For institutions with weekly needs, a JMG production retainer provides the same continuity as a hire at a fraction of the cost — without the HR overhead.

About JMG

Built for institutions. Led by someone who understands yours.

Obed James started JMG after years of watching churches and schools pour money into broadcast equipment that never performed the way it should — not because the gear was wrong, but because nobody in the room spoke both languages: the technical language of broadcast engineering and the institutional language of ministry, education, and community.

JMG exists to be the production department your institution doesn't have. Not a vendor who shows up, patches cables, and disappears. A partner who diagnoses the actual problem, designs a system your people can run, trains them to run it, and stays in your corner for a hundred days after the work is done.

Institutions served across faith, education, and media — each one left with a system their team can operate independently

NYC-registered vendor — DOE-approved for public school and municipal institutions

Every engagement includes a 100-day follow-through — because the real questions come after load-out, not during it

Broadcast-grade inventory maintained to standard — DiGiCo consoles, Sony Cinema Line cameras, DaVinci Resolve post-production
