"Into the Wild" (part 1)

See what happens when the imagination of Jon Salley collides with mine...

City on Our Knees

This video played during a live performance of the song "City on Our Knees" at Peoples Church on Sunday.
Given it's content, I've been surprised by how well it's been received.

The Well joins forces with Peoples Church

I've been working with my friends at The Well Community Church on their ongoing Song of Solomon series, serving as director of photography. This one we shot in the Peoples Church wedding chapel, and I felt like it turned out very well.
(Shot this on an EX-1 with a Letus35 adapter, btw)

Announcements

See what kind of tomfoolery I've been getting into with the church's announcement videos each week. This one played last Sunday.

And no, there were no 3D glasses.

Christmas stuff

"Asculta" Week 1 Prologue from Peoples Church, Fresno on Vimeo.

I created several video prologues for Peoples Church's 2009 Christmas show, which spanned four weeks and four different eras of a man's life. This one played during the first week, and leads up to the birth of the protagonist. Probably few people would have picked up on this, but a montage sequence from Raging Bull provided the inspiration for these pieces. Yes, that's right, I referenced a Scorsese film in a church Christmas play. The music you hear is a recording of the live orchestral arrangement by Doug Holck, who wrote the show.
