Jeff makes a confession about how far his obsession with the Cubs has taken him. I accidently uploaded the video with the split audio track that we use for services, so if you don’t have a stereo audio connection you won’t hear everything.
We originally were going to shoot this one at a baseball field, and we had some gorgeous b-roll, but then we took a little too long and the sun was terrible so we went inside to shoot. Because I didn’t know the content ahead of time I was disappointed that we weren’t shooting outside, but then when we got everything set up I was happy with where we shot and I think it was a better set-up than outside.
I actually used the frame of a futon in the room to get the light pattern on the back wall.
Matt talks about the glimpses into God’s heart that we are given from time to time. This one turned out way better than I was anticipating. The b-roll worked out nice and the music fit it well. I learned more about shooting in front of a window and was able to try out a new technique. Next time it will be gold. I don’t think it is distracting to the video.
This is the promotional video for Oasis for Orphans. I created this for their launch. I’m pretty sure there was a better way to do this one. This project got passed around before it was passed to me. This story is a touching one. and is pretty much the common story in the part of Africa that is being reached. Go to http://www.oasisfororphans.org for more info.
Jeff’s bible gets stolen out of his car. This is another video where Jeff and my reputation precede us. A lot of people think we punched out the window on the car for the purposes of the video. We did not. We had a window donated to us by a car repair shop. I mixed up some angles on this one and aside from the ridiculous bright July sun I think this video is visually very strong.
