We recently released part 1 of the "Where Life Happens" video series. I used a technique that I hadn't done before so thought I'd share the behind the scenes/ How to view here. View below for the finished version and more details. Enjoy.
This past Sunday we played a video in service that I wanted to share with you.
I was inspired to create something that would encourage people to focus on Jesus as their provider and to place total trust in Him. There's so many other things in our life that can steal our focus and distract us from what's most important. The current economic crisis can be a mountain or storm in our life but Jesus is a "mover of mountains" and our "calm in the storm". His "limitless love" is a greater place to put our complete trust.
Pre-Production
The video started as a brainstorm between me and Andrea (she volunteers on the Media team doing service graphics).
Here's the first attempt at getting an idea for what we wanted it to look like visually.
The day we filmed the video we assembled a 7ft table full of random materials including:
- 20 colors of craft paint
- 3M Spray Glue
- Paint brushes and sponges
- An old book from a thrift store
- Gold, black and red spray paint (the gold was a last minute addition and by far my favorite)
- Scrapbooking paper
- Rubber stamps
- Fabric
- Pre-printed pictures
- Pre-printed text
Post-Production
We ended up with 30 minutes of raw footage which was severely edited and then sped up 400%
The music is from DJ Shadow then reworked by Terryl
Once the edit was finished I used my favorite After Effects plug-in Twitch from Video Copilot to add random flashes of light and movement.
Enjoy!
