Filmcraft Festival Videos – Capture Summit 2020

About Snyder Memorial Baptist Church

A look at all of Snyder Memorial Baptist Church through the stories of members. I used a Canon 77d DSLR, Neewer ring light, Rode Shotgun mic, DJI Mavic Air, along with Adobe Premiere Pro for post-production. Biggest challenge in this video was grabbing shots from the many different facets of the church.

I tried to frame the shot to capture a realistic view of the environment that the subjects are…

We had to travel around the city…

This was a much more artistic endeavor. Tried to minimize any distractions in the background to get the viewer to focus on the spoken word being delivered by a wide cross-section of generational members. The biggest challenge with this project was keeping the subjects in the relative same place during the shoot to make the frames match from person to person. Also, the varying audio levels made post production a…

Video compiled in Adobe Premiere Pro, graphics and text added with Adobe After Effects. Music bed is an original composition by one of our church members.

LFC Living Christmas Tree Thriller Promo

At the time we only had an old Sony camera (Model: HDR-CX560). It took quite a few shots and editing to get the thriller style we were going for. If we had it to do over, we would change a few things.
