Elizabeth Gilbert on Genius
If you’ve never been to TED.com, it is something I highly recommend everyone doing often. The TED talks that are available there are really amazing. While there I found a talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love. I haven’t read her book (or yet seen the movie), but I love this talk. It’s only [...]

9. July 2010
One of the things I enjoy most about producing is working on dramatic videos. Last month I had the opportunity to work on a short film for our Starting Point Department. Producing short films is not the norm for us here in North Point Media world, and as you can imagine we had to adapt [...]

11. June 2010
The season of Summer blockbusters is upon us, and while it could be argued that many of these big budget movies may lack a little depth in story, they sure donʼt lack for amazing visual effects. A great example of cutting edge visual effects is the newest Marvel Comics movie Iron Man 2. When I [...]

8. June 2010
Not too long ago, I don’t think I would have said that I value collaboration. It used to bother me. I wanted to edit videos on my own and not let anyone see it before I was finished. After all, how could someone else’s thoughts on my half-finished project be constructive if they don’t know [...]

One of our main goal for title packages is to set up tension for the speaker. Drive was one of the first and only times where that wasn’t our intention. I wanted to take you through our process with this blog post, but there is a lot here so I broke it up into sections so [...]

I have seen a lot of commercials lately for minivans, which as we all know is very typical. Spaciousness, styling, under seat compartments, dvd players, and most importantly, the mpg’s.

22. March 2010
We recently had the opportunity to work with all of our ministries to produce a commercial celebrating our volunteers. We really are fortunate as a church to have amazing people serving week in and week out throughout all three campuses. This video celebrates all who volunteer - they are the backbone of what happens on [...]

9. March 2010
Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to produce and direct the title package video for Andy’s latest series, White Flag. The series is about Jonah and how he ran from God. We wanted to show a character running endlessly and becoming more and more exhausted. Additionally, the subject was to end up in [...]

2. March 2010
At North Point we are more than aware of the importance of recording our services. With DVD’s, TV shows, strategic partnerships, online services, message streams, CD’s, podcasts, and more–it is imperative that our services are recorded and archived for future reference. If your church does any form of multimedia, you probably record your services in [...]

If you have been following us for a while, you know that we love what we do, and we love having fun. It’s been 10 months since our last official Wii Tennis Tournament, so we decided it was due time for another tournament within the Media Department. This time around we have a few more [...]
