Our second attempt at a sermon series trailer. This series was for advent titled “Incarnate: Wholly God, Fully Man, Begotten not Made.” We wanted to create a sense of mystery and wonder at the incarnation of Jesus, and get congregants anticipating the unpacking of what it means to us that He was fully God and fully man.

For everything outside of the interview portions we specifically chose to shoot at focal lengths 200mm and above because we wanted to capture natural community and interaction between people without them even knowing the camera was around.
