If It Was Easy // Series Media

This video was created for one of our GCB Youth message series called, “If It Was Easy”. The graphic look was done by Keila Bates – I took the layers apart and made it all move. Here is the title slide designed by Keila: And here is the video I made out of the layers…

Count it all Joy // Series Graphic

This coming weekend the Young Professionals will begin a series out of the book of James. Here is the overall graphic look for the messages… the inspiration of course being the upcoming autumn season and thus the imagery of the changing seasons fits both the time of year and the content of James 1 where…

Tahoe Typography

Happy New Year! What better way to start the new year by displaying some great typography from Tahoe… I especially love the vintage look – there’s some pop-art feel in there as well that gives me warm fuzzies. Typography, Tahoe

Oh Faithful Interns!

One of the coolest things to see is when someone I’ve been privileged to train leaves the nest and does greater things that I could ever do. Here is the latest motion logo from one of my former media interns, David Martinez. He has now gone back to his church in El Salvador doing marvelous…

Creative Chaos #6

By the time this post hits, we will be done with our youth camp. I’d thought I’d share a couple of parodies that our interns made of the Shift Car Commercials. Enjoy.

Creative Chaos #4

So I’m continuing my series on color correction, using our youth camp commercials as examples. In this second spot, we tried to illustrate heat to embellish the feeling of gridlock on the city streets. Of course, I started with auto-toning, then pushed the red and green hues higher in the mid-range luminance level. I pulled…

Creative Chaos #2

Today I want to talk about the incredible virtue of creative color correction on video. Exhibit 1: This is a rough cut of our first commercial for our youth summer camp. Obviously we are using a car as a metaphor, drawing a parallel between spiritual principles and the open road and whatnot. I shot the…
