Our Christmas services this year were themed, “Stories of Christmas”. We designed the service in ‘chapters’, each focusing on a different aspect of the season. These videos served as the transitions from these scenes.

The youth of Capital have launched a program to help mentor children in the foster care system - this video is a simple call to action for the program.

I’ve always wanted to capture the amazing moments of autumn so I spent a few hours in a local park as the leaves were turning and cut it together to “Colorblind” by Counting Crows.

This video served as a service transition to the message.

This video is an updated promotional spot for our Intern program. I used elements from the application book to craft the look.

This is a series of video shorts to encourage the youth of our church to sign up for our annual internship program. These were the early days of green screen for me (meaning I was just figuring out how to use it… had a lot to learn).

Through the years we have gone through a few different looks for our video announcements. Here are some examples.

I get to serve on staff with one of the greatest songwriters of the worship world, Derek Henbest. One day he started recording the piano track to his song called, “Come”. I snuck a camera in and captured the session.

This one is still a work in progress… but the beginnings of any media package is the overall look. Below is the design… each leaf is an individual vector object.

This is a short film highlighting our summer youth camp. Shot with an Panasonic HVX-200 over three days.

Starting as a sermon series that focused on ‘being the church’ this concept developed into a monthly initiative where congregation members are challenged to participate in community outreach projects.

This video was originally intended to be played at the beginning of a message in a series. Typographically timed to different elements in the music, it became art on it’s own - scriptures are from Romans, Hebrews, and 1st Corinthians.

This was a quick, fun highlight video that I cut together following our annual picnic in the park.

This video was created to play simultaneously with the band (thewaitingkind.com) during a live performance. I applied lighting effects to the background in Motion, and animated and edited edited the rest of the piece in Final Cut.

This video was the main promotional spot for our 2nd annual youth conference.

Here are a crop of videos created for our annual youth conference GCB Live. The first is the main promotional spot that ran at our weekend services and at other churches. The second is our worship opener that launched each sessi

This video served as a transition during the service to the message.

There are so many people who have a heart for those who cannot defend themselves, or are victims of abuse. This video is intended to bring awareness of the growing problem of human trafficking and how we can get involved locally in the effort to rescue women in bondage.

This video was created for one of our GCB Youth message series called, “If It Was Easy”. The graphic look was done by Keila Bates - I took the layers apart and made it all move.

One of the hardest things to do is memorialize a loved one who has passed. In recent years I have done a number of memorial videos, and I believe that it is by God’s enabling grace that I have been able to be used in such a way to show God’s love to those who are in one of the most painful moment in their lives. I am convicted to be selective in doing these videos, and I take no money to do them, but instead intend to show Jesus’ love through service.

This is a music video I cut for our Easter Services. I used CVLI footage from the Passion of Christ, desaturated it, and rotoscoped red into the parts I wanted to emphasize. The song is Innocent Blood, written by The Waiting Kind and can be purchased along with two other songs off of their recent EP a thewaitingkind.com

Jeff Knight from the Rock Church in Monroe, Washington came down and raced our local guys with the Capital logo on the hood of his car. During that weekend we had the privilege of hearing him speak to our men at our annual Men’s Breakfast. Below is the short highlight film of his race as well as the promotional spot.

This is a series of “man on the street” interviews regarding perception of selected brands for market research.

In September of 2008 we had the privilege of having Leeland play a night of worship. I was lucky to direct the video production - these are the moments from that night.

I was hired recently to provide videography support to Men At The Cross as they ministered to men in the Treasure Valley. I had the privilege of interviewing many people, including the speakers, catching some great b-roll and editing a highlight video of the event.

This is a short promotional video for The National Prayer Center - a non-profit organization that’s sole purpose is to pray for the leaders of our nation.

Each year we light candles during our Christmas Eve services, and I created this video to play during the lighting.

Here is a web commercial that is based off of the infamous “cover flow” look.

By God’s grace, the guys from Leeland commissioned me to create a couple of videos for their “Follow You” tour. These videos actually play behind them live and in sync with a click track.

Capital Christian has seen many ministries and non-profit efforts begin and succeed by God’s grace and the vision of people who have a heart to meet a need. Shane and Kirsten Grove are two of those people who have answered the call of ministering to orphans. Below is a video I was privileged to put together for their ministry.

This was probably the most fun I had creating a campaign from start to finish. Created for our summer youth camp, this was a series of commercials to encourage people to sign up.

My good friend Marc Herring needed a video of him playing to apply for a scholarship to rock star school. I was happy to help.

Here’s an example of what I am able to do with green screen - it’s a quick commercial for our discipleship program at our church.

For this series, I took some of the best footage I shot from the Fall of the previous year and played around with motion tracking to match the movement of the text to the handheld footage.

By God’s grace, the guys from Leeland commissioned me to create a couple of videos for their “Follow You” tour. These videos actually play behind them live and in sync with a click track.

I was hired by a group of people to produce a series of videos for their health product company.

In 2008 we launched a new service for our 25-35 age demographic called Young Professionals. These were a couple of spots to promote it.
