We’ve been in a series called Dust since Easter. The premise is easy, following so close to Jesus that we’re covered in his dust. It’s original intent was to be a discipleship series, especially for those newbies that got saved on Easter. But it’s really taken on a whole new light. It’s turned out really cool. Pastor has talked a lot about passion, liking that to the dust we gather. He’s also talked a lot about dreams of the God nature. And man has it been good. Sunday was our last in this series, and I thought I’d share the video we put together for it. 

Little more backstory: In January, a handful of us made a whirlwind trip to Israel solely for the purpose of shooting video for this series. When I say whirlwind I mean it. We left Sunday after the last service and got back that very next Saturday. About 3 days of flying and 4 on the ground… roughly. It was nuts. Needless to say we hit the ground running. We captured enough content for half a dozen or so video illustrations to use during the series. It was a 1-camera shoot using our Sony Z1U, which we also used for all the b-roll. Each week we’ve used at least one clip to supplement the message, I’ll probably share the others in time. 

This one is from Capernaum…
 
Also, I dabbled with the SmoothCam filter on Final Cut. It was all handheld and the original footage was really shaky so there are a few glitchy moments, but overall I thought it turned out pretty good. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts, let me know what you think?
