Friday Funny

Okay, instead of the usual pic, I've posted a video of my youngest daughter. She and her mother were waiting in the car for my oldest daughter, and my wife wanted to capture some video of her singing while listening to some Aly & AJ on her sister's iPod Shuffle. What happened, however, was COMPLETELY unplanned!

It seems that she got a little mixed up between "cappuccino" and "Frappuccino!"

Any comments?

Crossroads Creative's Latest Work

Here are the sermon starter videos we did for Crossroads Church and its youth department. First, Crossroads' August series is called "The Prayer." After producing this piece, we modified the end to read "The Lord's Prayer," to be a little more marketable for Crossroads Creative.

Our youth department is in a series called "Lion Killers."  Here's that one:

Pretty cool After Effects piece. Special thanks to Matt Avant and Sonny Maynard over at Media Savant for their great work. You'll see both of these pieces on the reseller sites soon, as well as ours (whenever that happens!).

OK, so no one could (or would) guess where the bloopers are in "Ben and George."

The first one is in the opening shot. We used stock footage from Digital Juice's VideoTraxx library, and we 3-D modeled the table in the room. If you look closely, you'll notice that there is no reflection in the door.

The second one is in the voice-over. The announcer (yours truly) asks, "Which one of these presidents have you brought to church?" while the video shows a $1 bill, a $2, and a $100 bill. The only issue is that Ben Franklin was never a president.

So, there you have it. Crossroads Creative produces an occasional piece with a blooper or two in it. So sue me.

Here's the next installment of the Friday Funny. You provide the caption...

I'm still waiting on all the blooper snoopers out there to tell me what's wrong with the "Ben and George" piece. C'mon, guys, you can find them, just look (and listen) carefully.

Text Messaging

My friend, Greg Atkinson, recently did a post on his love affair with texting. So, I thought I'd show you this video we produced for our church. My wife and I co-wrote it, and I shot and directed it. Hope you enjoy it!

Ben and George...and a Blooper

Here's another piece that we have for sale on the reseller sites. Let me know what you think!

This piece takes the place of my Friday Funny, except, this time, the joke is on me. I'll give bonus points to the first person who can spot the BIG TIME blooper in this piece (actually, there are two). I'll be fixing it in the coming weeks, before launching it on Crossroads Creative.

Gas Prices Got You Down?

Here's the sermon intro for the current series we're in at Crossroads Church:

Pretty fun stuff. I shot it with the Xl-1s, and it was edited in Final Cut & After Effects. It's currently for sale on the reseller sites we have pieces on.

Yep, it's been a while, but here's the Friday Funny for this week:
