Rejoice, it’s a musical video!

Created for the McLean Bible Church 2010 Christmas Concert, adding another virtual choir video to float around YouTube. Score written by Marty McCall. A lot of hard work went into this video, but the 9 hours of shooting and 20+ hours of editing is worth it, don’t ya think?

Also, thank the Lord for Auto-tune, otherwise shooting would have taken 19 hours!

If a messy desk is a sign of a messy mind…

then what is an empty desk a sign of?

Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Video created for a church’s haunted house. (I know). Just watch, it’s intriguing.

Creative, ingenuity… buzzwords

Live stop-motion meets t-shirt graphics. Lethally intriguing combination.

The Last Well, Inc.

I had the incredible opportunity to accompany this team to Liberia. They’re from a church, and are partnering with a fledgling well-building organization called The Last Well, Inc. We spent the week with two pastors at two different churches–one in Monrovia and one in an outside village called Quenyonde. It’s a beautiful country, and relatively untouched by industrialization, aside from the capital city. After two civil wars ravaged their civilization in the past two decades, the country is still rebuilding and still in need of safe drinking water.

Precisión en España

It all fits; nothing seems out of place: the footage is crisp, la musica es suave, y los hombres… um look cool. So if chevre is what HEAT! was going for, good job guys.

Made by HEAT! for Razors España, a blading team. Pro and am.

Patience with live animation

The song is called “Waiting.” The imagery portrays waiting. But how much patience do you think it took the artists to create live animation? Three months, actually, to complete the pencil-and-paper artwork. Each tiny movement is just a snapshot. You can see how difficult it must have been to get everything accurate! notice the subtle shakes of the camera being slightly off-center in moving shots. The shakiness adds a kitschy feel that molds well to the upbeat music. Also, note the Western music illustrated in an Eastern (Japanese?) setting. Marvelous juxtaposition, fabulous illustration. Simple black & white but such complex work.
