Friday Inspiration for December 31, 2010 – The Chapel

// January 1st, 2011 // 1 Comment » // DSLR, HDR, Timelapse, Video

I’m getting this Friday inspiration in just under the wire… and not just getting it in by Friday, but by the end of the year!

THE CHAPEL is a remarkable short film I discovered today. It has things I love: Church architecture, time-lapse photography, excellent film making, and HDR video (!). This guy’s whole portfolio is amazing. More and more tools are being developed for film makers, especially in terms of tools that allow someone to move a camera smoothly. A number of these tools, as you can see in the video below, also allow a camera to move very very slowly, which makes for some really amazing time-lapse movies. As a side note, I’ll add that I love great typography, and you can tell just by looking at the thumbnails of the videos at lookycreative.com that type choices are important to this film maker. Watch the video below, with a bonus video after that…

Children of Eden Promo Video

// June 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // Motion Graphics, Video

Here is a just-completed promo video for our church’s production of Children of Eden (with a sermon series to go along with it!) The creative process for this one was fun. We originally concepted a video showing rehearsals and actor interviews, but due to VBS needing the stage, we had some concerns about capturing the epic, Broadway-esque scale of this. So simply using text, a jungle photo with some leaves and branches thrown into 3D space, and the graphics from the official logo/promo poster, we decided to create something that felt more like a movie trailer. And really, this is the only song in the soundtrack that has the right “feel”, so I edited 3 segments of music together to make this spot. We’ll still be shooting some rehearsals for a bonus promo that will go online, and be mentioned in the pastor’s weekly email to the congregation. This was created in After Effects and Photoshop.
