Fresh Expressions: Testimonial Videos

As a movement of unique forms of church primarily geared toward the un-churched, Fresh Expressions (U.S.–part of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board) decided to utilize video to get the word out. They decided on testimonials captured at one of their Vision Day events. In the first testimonial, Jim Pace (one of the pastors of both an on-campus and off-campus church at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia) tells us how their existing church is thinking creatively and reaching out relationally to a segment of their local culture. In the 2nd video, Jenifer Morales (a trained pastor) and her pastor tell us about her own fresh expression and how, though it is only loosely affiliated with her local congregation, the local church has provided support. Both videos feature custom logo animation in the intro/outro. Stay tuned for several more testimonial videos, each sharing a unique perspective on fresh expressions of church.

ADHD Aware: Intro video & “I AM” video

ADHD Aware is a nonprofit organization created by and for people with ADHD. Founder Natalie Knochenhauer knows first hand what it is like to live with and parent within the context of ADHD and it is with her passion for her family in mind that she founded this organization. In the Intro video, Natalie tells us a bit about ADHD, ADHD Aware and how you can help. The “I AM” video offers a glimpse into the lives of a variety of people who all have ADHD in common. However, as you’ll see, though they each live daily with ADHD, they also identify with other aspects of life, things in which they take great pride. (Note: The “I AM” video also features a custom animated logo intro/outro.)

Inverse Paradox: Cable Commercial

Local web development company Inverse Paradox decided to step up their own marketing efforts and got a great deal on local/regional cable television advertising in the wake of available spots caused by the discontinuation of political advertising after the November election. We moved forward with their concept, shot business partners Melissa and Neil in various occupational apparel, and then book-ended this part of the story with After Effects segments–the first showcasing IP’s web portfolio, the second creatively displaying their logo and contact info, both with voiceover. The final piece tells creatively communicates exactly what they want prospective clients to hear, while towing the line between slick/tech-oriented and personal/capable.

Access Services: In-House Video Training

Like many non-profits, Access Services values video storytelling communications but can’t necessarily afford to produce professional videos throughout the year. A few months ago, Access Services decided to move forward with pursuing a capacity-building grant that would allow them to purchase equipment and train a few employees to produce short, non-fiction videos. Non-profit, in-house video production! What a great concept. After many hours of training, the first piece produced by the in-house video team is a short, internal story describing what it’s like to work at Access Services. This piece will be shown in new staff orientation and will also be used on their website in employee recruitment.

My friends at Elephant’s Eye connected me  with Paul Gold (of Gold Film and Denozen Arts) and asked us to work together on this piece.
