Holy Week – A Living Memory | St. Gabriel Church
I just started at this parish as the videographer a couple of months ago. I shot my footage with a BMPC6kpro with a mix of zoom and cinema lenses. A couple of the shots came off our livestream cameras. The narration came from our pastor’s Easter Vigil sermon.
SEVEN – Letter to Smyrna | Crosspoint City
This video was created for our worship opening for Easter 2020. We were in lockdown and no one was coming to worship. It was shot with a Cannon T6 and edited in Premier. Nothing special.
We made this film for a 2022 sermon series called Seven. It portrays John the Apostle exiled on the island of Patmos as he writes the seven letters to the churches from Revelation 2-3. We made seven different films (same visuals, different voice over) for the seven different letters.
For the visuals, we used the Red Komodo with a 18-35 Sigma photo zoom. It was shot handheld at 48fps. (The opening shot was licensed from Artgrid).
Apart from the cell bar gobo in the fourth shot, the entire project was shot with natural light only. For that one shot, we used an Aputure 300d with a spotlight attachment.
For the voice over and foley work, we used a rode ntg-2 and a sound devices mix-pre audio recorder.
For some of the sound effects we couldn’t replicate, we used freesoundarchive.
The music was licensed from Artlist.
The project was edited and color graded on DaVinci Resolve.
The two largest challenges were finding / creating period accurate props and costumes and finding a cave that worked for our shoot. We ended up driving out to Sand Rock Alabama to shoot in a cave out there.
The Christmas Story | Constance Free Church
I wanted to create an intimate feeling like a mother reading the Christmas story to her daughter, but I wanted it to feel like she was also reading to me (as a viewer) I wanted to make it feel intimate (all of the shallow depth of field) as well as a bit warmer than usual to give us all of the warm feels during Christmas time.
