Three guys used a favor to fly out to California to shoot the abandoned Lake Dolores Waterpark in Newberry Springs. Our Pastor’s vision for the sermon series was always an abandoned theme park, and we were not able to get into Jazzland New Orleans for a multitude of reasons. We flew two large pelicans with some C-stands, gaffer gear, and a gimbal, and carried on a Canon R5C and C200 with EF 16-35mm 2.8, 85mm 1.4, 50mm 1.2, Sigma 70-200 2.8. We arrived at the site with rain, not exactly knowing what it was supposed to look like, but knowing that when we got there it would all take shape. The rain held off for a while and it turned into a very guerilla-esque shoot. The graphics package for the series are from our member/graphic designer on retainer, the voiceover, edit, grade, score, were all in house. Our worship team wrote an original for the series, which is available to stream as well.
