This spring, I was asked by Amazing Facts to help them promote their new building project. The following promo is what we cooked up. It's a very good example of corporate style production.
Building for Eternity
Jeff's Testimony
This is a powerful testimony that I was very privileged to have worked on. Thanks to all involved!
The Mark of the Beast
This video is the first of a series of videos I'm working on about the Mark of the Beast.
Courage
This is a donor appreciation video I did for Amazing Facts. I had a lot of really nice footage to work with and it shows.
Revelation: Behind the Scenes - UPDATE: TELLY AWARD WINNING!
Here is the four part behind the scenes video for Revelation: The Bride, the Beast, & Babylon. I was able to be heavily involved in this project from beginning to end, and these videos give a good picture of what a huge undertaking it was. I always enjoy seeing behind the scenes features and it's pretty cool to see everyone doing their thing... Plus, I get some rare time in front of the camera! UPDATE: Revelation behind the scenes won a telly award!
Trailer for Revelation: Prophecy's Hidden History
After more than eight months of production, I can finally show off the documentary project that Amazing Facts is releasing at the end of the year. A lot of hours have gone into this, and there is still a long way to go, but everyone involved is committed to making the project as good as it can be. Big thanks to everyone who helped!
After May 21 Wins a Telly!
I helped with some of the editing and color grading on this short promo video for the supposed end of the world last year on May 21, 2011. It was submitted to the Telly awards and it won a bronze in it's category! It's really rewarding to see the video resonated with people that much. I'm really glad to have been even a small part of it.
World Relief Sacramento Promo
This video is a web promo for the Sacramento office of World Relief. They help refugees in many overseas countries with aid and they also help some of them relocate to the U.S. Their local office in Sacramento asked me to help them make a video that they can show to local churches and other groups who would like to help. They wanted to keep it simple so I shot some interviews and b-roll with their employees and volunteers and added some graphics to fill in the rest of it. It's all shot on the Canon 5D.
Reclaim Your Faith Testimonies
The following videos were produced for the evangelistic series Reclaim Your Faith. They were used as promotional material on the website prior to the event, and a subset were played during the live show as lead-in's to the sermons. The ones played during the live show were a big hit with the in-studio audience, some of whom were even moved to tears.
I enjoyed making these a lot. Personal testimonies have always appealed to me, and the emotion that some of the interviewees brought was really powerful. I tried to focus on that to give it the biggest impact I could. These were all shot up at Weimar, and they were all AFCOE students except Buddy. The videos were shot with the Panasonic VariCam and two Canon 5Ds. A big thanks to everyone who shared their testimony and everyone who helped me film. Enjoy!
