Gods Path

Its interesting - they say that the more faith you put into God the more he gives back to you and in this case thats just what i have done. I let my faith take over when i was let go from America's Best Defense, I just had this feeling that there was something meant for me. I donated my time to Living Waters Church editing there services to produce a DVD, i also began concepting and creating productions with Chris for the opening of services and today i had an interview with Tim - the Pastor at the church and it looks like i will be turning my time i spend there into a paying job! God sure does deliver!

God's Deadlines

I have had such an extremely busy weekend. All week i have been involved in a production that had people lip-singing to the song "Shadowfeet" my job was to receive the footage shot by my co-worker and edit it into a short cut. However this short cut involved long render and export times and complicated shots, cuts, and edits. Timing was difficult to achieve between syncing the actors to the words. Also the Render time was killing me with having a 40 minute clip time lapsed into 30 seconds. Now all of this could have easily been done in a single day of working. But I learned of what i had to do Friday night, and i had a paintball event all day saturday which left me with Saturday Night to fully edit and export the film. After pulling an all nighter i finally finished and met my 7AM deadline. I finished the video at 6:30AM.

Paintball however rocked with having the entire team out there player all 9 active members!!!

New Stuff

For the past few weeks i have been settling myself into working at Living Waters as a Film Editor for there new Video Ministry. My responsibilities are to soft edit the footage of the services to add in sub-text of the scriptures, and manipulate the footage to make it look professional and clean. Also I am to prep and export the footage to get it ready for DVD and webcasting. But now i find myself doing more advanced projects. This week Chris and I are working on a video for the beginning of service on Sunday. Its a music video involving green screening - Were filming members of our church lip singing a song in front of a green screen. From there I plan on taking the footage and cutting it up so the people interchange while lip singing to a song. The green screen will be replaced with footage from the city thats out of focus - the overall look and feel of this video is going to be sweet. I'll see if i can post it when its complete.

Changing Things Up.

Life as i know if has completely flipped upside down. Usually i am open to change and take any obstacle i hit with a positive attitude and keep moving forward. I have been recently "let go" from America's Best Defense, and whether or not i was fired or laid off i have no idea - originally i was replaced, but there seems to be a new person being trained for the job position i was told wasn't open. I'd rather people be forward to me instead of trying to let me down nicely or act like i don't know what's going on. No disrespect because I love all of my former co-workers at ABD and i always will - and truthfully i don't know what's happening. All i know is i was not needed or wanted there and that means it was time for a change. Since the change i have been dedicating a lot of my time to Living Waters Church as a Film Editor, its not every day i get to do something i love and know that its changing lives and bringing people closer to God. I hope one day i can become paid for doing this - Film is definitely my future. In the mist of all the confusing stuff going on i do have some Victories! I am now a Licensed Driver, I have released a few videos for my paintball Team, and Megan is still and will always be as incredible as she was when i first met her over a month ago!
