A Christmas Story (By Kids)

This was a fun narrative project we did a few years back for our Christmas Eve Services. We spent months planning it out and it is personally my favorite project I have ever done as it helped my build my skills as an aspiring filmmaker. We shot this over the course of 3 weekends on location at church members farm. At the time we did not have much equipment so we used a Sony FS100 Camera to shoot on and used some AKG mics back at the church for the VoiceOver recordings. The biggest challenges presented was working with kids…

CCO Servant Appreciation Video

We were having a Volunteer Appreciation event and wanted to present this video for our many volunteers to let them know how a church would look without their help. We used the Canon XF105 with a Sennheiser shotgun mic going directly into the camera. It was mostly a run-and-gun production, so we utilized a shoulder rig for our handheld shots. All the actors are CCO staff, CCO members and their families. Our main challenge was scheduling. We filmed after services to get our crowd shot and during services in the parking lot and Children’s classrooms. Some filming was during the…

St. Bernardine Promo Welcome Video

The video is a promotional tool that is part documentary and narrative describing the history of the church and the experience of being a member of the church.

Dr. Al Chemy Scroll of Wisdom ep4

We had a sermon series called Alchemy. As a fun little play off of that, we made a fictional character, Dr. Al Chemy that would try some experiment or quest each week. That experiment or quest would of course fail and then after the video the pastor (who was also Dr. Al Chemy) would share the truth. We used a Sony 4k camcorder, a green screen and some dead trees from my back yard. This whole process was fun as it was all done on a Thursday and shown that Sunday. And when I say done on a Thursday I…

The Tree – Easter Short Film

This year for Easter, our church had an entirely different concept and idea for a film that was made impossible by the Covid-19 outbreak. So this resulted in us having to create a new concept and only being able to shoot with 4 total people on the project. So we crafted a new concept that fit our series and something that would work completely online. One of the biggest challenges was having a limited number of people able to help make it happen quickly.

KJ’s Miracle Story

This story was challenging because I was using a drone for the first time I believe to capture some b-roll footage for KJ’s story.

Hector Galindo’s Story

Telling Hector’s story was such an amazing story to capture because it had not been told yet and for the first time Hector’s family was going to hear never-heard-before details. Since the telling of Hector’s story, Hector has become a Media volunteer at Visalia First and now helps train other volunteers.The equipment I used on Hector’s story was a Canon 5D, Canon lenses 15mm, 24-70mm, 70-210, and a Senheisor lavalier mic, reflector for the interview and used FCX to edit.
