On January 3rd we started the new year with a bang! Especially in the TenBefore. Nathan Boyd (one of our amazing interns) built a project in After Effects that included a little fireworks! Best thing about it is we can make future changes with ease so when we want to celebrate winter or spring [...]

Earlier this month, I was given the task of creating a new promo for this year’s MarriedLife Live Christmas event. Last year’s promo was both simple and effective, so we wanted to build on that foundation with a fresh coat of paint. Charged with merely adding “more pizazz” (I believe that was the phrase), I [...]

For Christmas we had quite a few requirements for our Keyart. 1. It needs to symbolize the tension of the series — “God uses the most unlikely people to fulfill his promises” 2. We wanted it to look “Christmasy.” Once it is on a resource center shelf it should be quickly recognized as Christmas. 3. We needed a [...]

Last Thursday night during our Night of Worship we played a video during communion. It is a VERY simple video that paraphrased scripture while the underscore of “Adagio for Strings” rolled underneath. The video is around 7:38 so we did edit the song a bit.

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. Our angle was to make this first promo a bit exciting and a bit epic (hopefully without going over the top). Promo has been played at all [...]

This year we decided to jump into the 3D world by adding Maxon’s Cinema 4D to our motion graphics tool shed. 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. Now six months after getting a hold of [...]

Here’s a side of what we do that you may not normally see, unless you’ve got some North Point DVD’s lying around that you got from our Resources department. Ryan and I get to focus a good bit of our energy on DVD content creation, which includes designing menus like those seen below. Rather than [...]
