Looking Back on Old Videos

The past week I have been home sick. I have had nothing else to do, so I have been looking back at some old videos I have made in the past 2 years. I took some of my favorite and put it into one. Check it out.

Ignite 2010 Tech

This past Thursday (before you ask, yes I am out of school) I had a great opportunity to really go out on my tech ministries. I helped with the Tech Booth for Ignite 2010 Round table. This was held by Allison Park Church and the MCM Network and we had atleast 100 different pastors and leaders from all over the country and in Pittsburgh. I saw some great friends like Rich Jones, Greg Krowits, Brian Bolt, and so many more. It was a fun day and there was extremely good Chinese Food :). Okay, so now that I talked about that, here's the latest Worship Videos for Crosstown I've been working on.

Another Crosstown Worship Song---Take it All

Today, I began again to start the Crosstown Worship Songs. By re-editing them and such in Sony Vegas. Take at look at Take it All by Hillsong Kids

Yes I know this is Late

Yes I know this is just a little bit late, but in March (see told you it was just a little late :D) I filmed the first service at the new Sharpsburg Family Worship Center. My friend Tim leads worship there so I thought that I should be there. SFWC is one of the original Church Plants from Allison Park Church. My friend from Sweden Johannes Amrizter was preaching that evening. Here is the recap video that so many people were asking for. Click here or look below.

This Guy is a Beast

Today as I was sitting in Brian Lippert's office, and he was showing me this website of a guy who does insane After Effects. His name is Barton Damer, and he is awesome at this. You can see one of his works here below.

Re-Doing Crosstown Worship Songs

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be re doing the Crosstown Worship Songs. Here's how the first one I did came out. The Song is "Get Up and Dance".

What Happens at Upward Awards Night

Well honestly, I don't know what happens at Upward Awards Night. Except, well there's awards. I should get a better Idea of what happens. All I know of is that there's pics that are playing during pre-service, there's live cam involved, a guy by the name of Nel Creman will be there, and I am one of only 3 people who will be in the Tech booth. The two other people I will be working with are Andy Eble and Pastor Gregg Jacobs (I posted about him a couple of weeks ago.) Okay, off topic now, I thought I'd share last weeks APC Minute. It has some Winter Retreat testimonies. Check it out.

Fine Arts Short Film

This week, is the competition of all competition, the mother of all events that will happen to you ever (Besides City Reach) THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN CABLE TELEVISION!!! Okay never mind that last one, cause nothing beats TV. But it's an event known as FINE ARTS. Fine Arts is a day long even (the days grow as you move along) where you can show off your talent that brings a positive message for Jesus. This year I am in Short Sermon, Vocal Solo, Youth Choir and Short Film. The reason I bring this up is because this is my first year doing Short Film and I'm looking for some feed back about the video. You Can Check It out by CLICKING HERE or Check it out below.

This is What I do when Family Sends Snow Pictures

When you combine my Family and Sony Vegas, and my laptop, here's what you get.

Crosstown Genesis 1:1 Song

Joe Schafer Who is the Childrens Pastor at Allison Park Church had me make the Music Video for the Next Series which is The Creation Story (Genesis Chapter 1). This is what I have in the Video so fat...enjoy!

2Twetny Motion Logo

Successfully with Sony Vegas, I have made a new motion logo for 2Twenty. The video loops but the one below only plays through once. Enjoy!

Coming Up with Announcement Videos

Today I was Ice Skating at North Park Ice Skating Rink (for those of you familiar with the area). Then it hit me (actually when I fell) as I was remembering Brian Lippert and Dawn Melling doing an APC Minute on Ice.



But anyway, I was thinking of doing our Announcements on Ice while I was there today. Coming up with Announcements video is harder than it looks. You need to look for ideas that will get the crowd that you are showing this video to. Brian ice skating backwards with a camera and knowing he could fall to his doom with a multi-thousand dollar piece of equipment. So capture the audience, and your video will be a success!

If only it was a big file, then heck yea I'd get it

After effects is a great product to make text slides for movies with great effects. Only thing is that the file is like 3/4 of a gigabite (size of a file so it's really REALLY big). My netbook by it's self only has 1 gigabite of RAM (Random Access Memory). Man what wouldn't I do to get that. Adobe is the creator of the product.
