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 [...]

Things I Learned While Producing A Short Film.

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 [...]

Iron Man 2 VFX

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 [...]

Swagger Waggon

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. You know, the typical pitch.  It seems like most automobile companies that produce minivans have the mindset about advertising those vehicles as functional, as well [...]

Boom-de-yada: Celebrating Our Volunteers

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 [...]

White Flag Title Package

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 [...]
