Audio-Visual
A creative incubator for video, animation, and audio production carrying the revelation.
AV is the only domain at the Roundtable where multiple independent creators converged on the same coordination question. Across Forums 3, 4, and 5, presenters from Channel 606 (Gary Tonge), Cosmic Creations / Truth Book (Rick Lyon, Jim Zigarelli, Mo Siegel), FAIR Studios (Derek Grimm), and the Center for Unity (Gabriel Rymberg) each described overlapping production lines.
The shared problem the room could not solve alone is curation: when many people make many things, how does the community surface what is best for the audience it is actually trying to reach? Lisa Crawford named the question directly in Forum 5; Sue Seccombe proposed a community-rating analogue; Geoff Theiss raised the Angel Studios endorsement model; Mo Siegel cited specific Truth Book view counts as evidence of which questions actually move a non-reader audience.

Channel 606
Aggregator surface for community-produced video. Web-first, with planned multi-platform distribution (apps and TV expansion later). Long-term goal of resembling a curated Netflix-style platform for the revelation. Open question on how it relates to YouTube discovery.

Cosmic Creations / Truth Book
Long-running channel with high-performing topics. Mo Siegel cited view counts in Forum 5 as evidence of which questions move a non-reader audience: Conditions of Effective Prayer, Five Steps to Lasting World Peace, Why Does God Allow Suffering. (Numerical claims not independently verified.)

FAIR Studios — Unreal Engine virtual production
Pre-recorded video presented in Forum 4 demonstrated Unreal Engine workflows borrowed from The Mandalorian's production model. Argument: high production values, owned IP, lower cost than traditional film.

Magdala (Mary Magdalene film)
Center for Unity feature project. Presented by Gabriel Rymberg in Forum 3 alongside The First Choice and the immersive-experience strand.

Vincent / Starry Night Jesus parody
Re-lyriced Don McLean–style musical video. Discussed across Forums 4 and 5; closed Forum 5 with a screening framed as a grandfather's message to grandchildren.
Open questions
- What does "best" mean here? Lisa Crawford raised this directly in Forum 5: community sharing is currently subjective.
- Should there be a community rating system, perhaps sliced by age cohort? (Sue Seccombe, Forum 5.)
- Is the Angel Studios model — community endorsement and storytelling participation around selected pieces — a fit, rather than competing on YouTube discovery? (Geoff Theiss, Forum 5.)
- Where does AI sit in the production pipeline? Gabriel Rymberg's framing in Forum 3 was that AI is an array of capabilities, not a subscription. The sandbox needs a shared map of which AI tools work for which jobs.
- How do we distinguish re-mythologising the work from raw newness? Richard Jernigan raised this in Forum 3 — open across AV outputs.
