“Pursuit” in HD

Thugs

Melissa Davis is an actress! Yes, it’s true. We took advantage of our available weekends before we get slammed. We both were so excited to be a part of PC3 ‘s new video bump for our April series. It’s called “The Pursuit”. It uses the imagery of a car chase scene to highlight the first chapters of Proverbs and its instructions to pursue wisdom at all costs. If you look close, you’ll see another familiar face (hint hint), but Melissa gets all the props for pulling off “The Harlot”. She had a blast! Under the direction of Evan Vetter (our friend and neighbor!), we had an impressive production team that could rival any major studio (I am a little biased). Here are some stats I stole from Paschal’s Blog, another staffer at PC3′s Production Team.

Shot with 3 Panasonic HVX-200’s (with special lens systems)
3 Stunt drivers & Stunt Director that attends our church
Much of the car chase shots were filmed by Joey (16 years old), Parrish (19 years old), and Chris (volunteer)
All Audio tracks (159 tracks to be exact including sound effects) were tracked in house
Score was composed and tracked by PC3 band members and volunteer composing string sections
25 plus volunteers giving up their weekends to create a great film together

Our church is different. No doubt about it. And that’s what we love about being involved not only in video production, but a church that sees the importance of media and the powerful way it gets messages across. I can’t believe all the talented people we live with in our community here in Wilmington. Being involved in something like this is not only fun, but I learn so much about different aspects of film production that undeniably get translated into our new ideas for fresh videography here at Lifestage. Please enjoy the action packed clip below (in HD!). And leave comments….we like to know you guys are out there!

What I Do at Church…

We moved to Wilmington from Charlotte a little over a year now, and immediately got connected with Port City Community Church. The reason is because it’s worship, its mission, and its way of reaching people is CHANGING lives. One of the biggest avenues they put emphasis on is their video/lights/music production. Not only are there so many talented people leading the church in this realm, but people are flooding in because they are meeting Christ in a relevant way. And we are running out of room (have been for years). I am one of the video directors on Sunday mornings for PC3. We have 4 cameras and videographers live with another for streaming to another venue. Its my job to sit in the control room and coordinate a live edit between everyone running a camera. I listen to the songs and direct the cameras resulting in what you see on the screen. I absolutely love it and it gives me a rush every time we do it because it really is an act of worship. Below is a video of a song from a few weeks ago. If you haven’t been to PC3 before and you live in Wilmington, we hope this gives you an idea into the experience and hopefully will come visit with us.

CongoCast Episode No. 9

For those of you that have been following the fact that I am involved in a powerful documentary about the Congo, the brand spanking new episode is up and running. CongoCast shines a light on such a dark and somewhat unknown story of the people of Congo, and the war, rape and evil that has ravaged it. Two women from our local church left their comfortable suburban lifestyle we all know and love, and went into the heart of the conflict. Our church, with the direction of Evan Vetter, decided to send a camera with them to chronicle their experience. I am fortunate enough to be a part of the editing team that gets this story out. I admit, it was a little tough editing “the rat” part, but this was a more lighter episode highlighting Wendy and Robins smaller hindrances. Check it out below, feel free to leave comments, and be sure to link to www.CongoCast.org or add it to your RSS feed and itunes so you can stay updated.
