ESL Promo Video

William — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:45:17 +0000

On and off over the past 4 months I’ve been working on a project for our church in Florida’s ESL program. ESL is English as a Second Language training and a very important program in all communities. Volunteers at the church hold FREE classes twice a week that are open to the public – people of all ages, races, and religions. They have several different skill levels that teach everything from basic conversational English to more advanced reading & writing skills. In addition to learning the English language, students learn about American culture something just as important for immigrant wanting to “fit in.”

I spent a couple weeks attending the classes, meeting the students, and photographing them. Just this week I finished a video for the ESL leader to use to recruit volunteers. Our goal was to make it “generic” enough that any ESL program could use it. You can watch the video below, and if you would like a free DVD copy to help promote your ESL program contact me with your name and address.

Pinellas Hope Video for Church

William — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:03:00 +0000

Last Sunday our church went to Pinellas Hope to provide and serve a meal to the homeless in our community. Pinellas Hope is a great organization that lets them set up tents in a secure spot and provides them with evening meals, showers, TVs, rehab/training, and programs.

I put this video slideshow together to thank those that volunteered and motivate those that didn’t to participate in church events in the future.

From a technical & artsy point-of-view the video is pretty ho-hum. Except… I experimented with a technique I’ve been wanting to try for some time. In a few of the slow zoom-ins, I separated the image into three depth layers: foreground, focal point, and background. As I zoom in, I move each layer at a different speed and slowly move the foreground and background horizontally towards the center. It adds a nice subtle effect that almost makes the image seem 3D-ish. The first one is at 31 seconds into the video.

Video Montage of VBS

As I mentioned before, I volunteered as “official” photographer for our church’s Vacation Bible School program last week. Below is the photo slideshow I edited to show in church on Sunday. It is set to a song by Sufjan Stevens and at the end I had everyone stand and sing along.

Vacation Bible School Promo

William — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 14:04:35 +0000

I made this short little video as a call to our church folks to volunteer at VBS this year. The photos are all from almost 8 years ago when I worked at a daycare (man I’m old!). The music is from a bonus track off the Japanese release of Boards of Canada’s album Geogaddi. I’m not sure where they got all the kids voices that are talking.

If you work with a children’s ministry or know someone who does and could use this video, drop me an email. I’d be glad to send you a DVD copy of it.
