location scouting – theres an app for that
// July 7th, 2009 // No Comments » // apple, creative, film, photography
Over the last month, I’ve been working with a couple of guys on producing a short film (I’ll post more details on the project a little later). Today, we hit downtown Mobile scouting locations and getting a little b-roll/test footage in prep for our principal shoot later in the month. I took tons of shots on my iPhone, and I thought a few of them turned out pretty rad (all of these were shot and edited using apps on my phone).
another faith stimulus

God is so crazy… in a good way.
I got an email last week from a church in Peoria, Illinois that was inspired by our Faith Stimulus to do one in their community. How awesome is that, that this small act that we made is still going strong. Northwoods Community Church gave $60,000 to their people in white envelopes encouraging them to make a difference in their community. They’ve even set up a ‘Stories‘ site as well to hear first hand what’s happening with the money, check it out here.
I am blown away by how far God is taking this… I pray it goes where He wants and may it be a movement of love and compassion that changes our world.
To read a few of the stories from the Faith Stimulus that we did click here. Also, if you’re thinking about doing a Faith Stimulus in your community and you’d like a few pointers, leave a comment and I’ll get back with you.
All I need – Honduras video
// June 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // church, video
Two weeks ago, 65 of our Icon students went to Honduras on a missions trip. They ministered in orphanages, prisons/juvenile detention facilities, the city dump (where hundreds of kids live), and the bordo (which is one of the poorest areas in the hemisphere). They also held two concerts where over 15,000 students showed up to hear the gospel. Will put together this killer video that sums up the trip.
The song is One Republic’s ‘All I Need.’

What if ‘LOST’ was an early 90’s sitcom? This would be the season 1 intro… enjoy:

I’m a huge fan of stop motion work, and this is one of the coolest ones I’ve ever seen. The fact that it’s simply post-it notes is so rad. Alright, enough of me already, watch:
In combination with that, the great @loswhit made a statement today on Twitter that has haunted the crap out of me all day, he saith:
So when was the last time you created for you? For God? For the heck of it? For the sake of being a true artist not an employee. I’ve been challenged, I hope you have too.
In case you’re interested, make the jump and you can see the making-of for the ‘Deadline’ post-it note video… pretty rad as well. Continue Reading
