Just in case you haven’t seen it. Here it is. Produced by Heather Breslin and Brad Bretz Motion Graphics by Brad and Wiggy. Logo Design by Nick Hollomon Music by First Com Music.

24. June 2009
We all work differently when we are dealing with media. Some people are militant organized. Others, are not. Some carry a single hard drive with them from place to place, others use a multi-terabyte shared storage system. Some applications, like Final Cut and After Effects, can actually collect the files your working with and output [...]

22. June 2009
We’ve been experimenting a lot with using 3D elements in design. It’s a rising trend we are seeing everywhere. Smashing Magazine recently posted an article containing 50 tutorials for making 3D objects in Adobe Illustrator. As you can see from Dave’s post, 3D programs have their up sides and down sides.

Although we’d already been able to dabble with Zaxwerks‘ 3D Invigorator & ProAnimator plugins for After Effects, we had been a little frustrated with their limitations.

I wanted to bring up one more idea that I thought was worth discussion from the book Zag! In it Marty Neumeier discusses a corporate dynamic that brings to mind many parallels to the church world. He sets up companies as either Paper, Rock, or Scissor companies. “Scissor Companies” are very small upstarts that have [...]

This year’s DRIVE conference was amazing. If you missed it, here is a newly completed highlight video that encapsulates just a part of the fun. Thanks to Marc Shroyer (a good friend of the media team) for doing such a great job on this recap. He drove the entire process from shooting, editing, to finalizing. Enjoy!

3. June 2009
Andy just finished a 4-part series called “Staying In Love“, which for the post-Sunday side of media, means authoring a DVD (among other things). Here is a sneak peek of the “Staying In Love” Groups DVD (available in about 2 weeks from our Resources department), as seen through the eyes of Wiggy & I.
