    • “Be Still” Series Opener -World Premier

    Posted by Travis on December 7, 2007

    I just wanted to share another one of our videos. We are beginning a three week Christmas series this Sunday entitled “Be Still.” It is about, well, being still. You know, “Be still and know that I am God.” We saw a video at Drive Conference two years ago that made an impact on a lot of our staff and so we “adopted” their concept and made our own. The video was edited in After Effects and the graphics were created by my co-worker Chris in Photoshop.

    The video will play following a prayer in the service. We will have all the lights out and wait about 8-10 seconds before we play it. That way there will be an awkward silence to get people’s attention and make the first word on the screen more noticeable. There is no audio on this video and there won’t be in the service either. If you get distracted, cut on iTunes and restart it. However, if you can’t make it through in silence, maybe you need to check on the podcasts of this series. HaHa.

    Let me know what you think, and enjoy this special sneak preview if you are watching this before Sunday.

    Travis


    If you can’t get the video to play here, follow me over to YouTube.

      very cool. How can I get a full quality copy of that?

      Travis – thought-provoking, and artistically excellent. Also loved how the letters morphed into star glows as they faded.
      Thanks for sharing it on the Web, and thanks to Fred for pointing me here.

      Guess I should have first responded to Nate here instead of in email… If you want a copy of the video, let me know and I will tell you how to get it.
