Obviously the concept/technique was edgy and commanding, but what struck me most was the heart and passion in the camera angles and shot framing. The story was told by much more than the words. I can only imagine the impact it had on your students. Would love to share that same message with ours, and for that matter, with our whole church family.

Comedy seemed to overshadow drama/concept simply because it felt GOOD to laugh at the end of an intense day.

A plaque, certificate, or free resource seems more appropriate. Two - a quick screencap as each video name is read off, or as the icon to the left of the title, would make it easier to remember each video while voting. Three - I didn't think that having an audience member go up to the booth to "read" the sound level during voting was really that effective and mostly just time consuming. Why not just have the sound level show up on the screen so that everyone could see it or have the audio guy say it. Fourth - Everyone knows Willow makes great stuff, but you have an entire conference to show off your own stuff if you want. Why not just let the film festival be for all those other churches out there...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734446705879701769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084270154121134976.post-45546818573301684952007-06-16T13:01:00.000-05:002007-06-16T13:01:00.000-05:00Who made the My Cubicle Video?Who made the My Cubicle Video?Matt McCarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169604316567315809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084270154121134976.post-81301670813943375422007-06-15T11:18:00.000-05:002007-06-15T11:18:00.000-05:00hey, to answer my own question, the vertigo video ...hey, to answer my own question, the vertigo video can be found on youtube, but I can't find it on granger's website to purchase, if you search granger community church on youtube you will find it thereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084270154121134976.post-56391271896140340222007-06-14T22:40:00.000-05:002007-06-14T22:40:00.000-05:00I loved the creativity and care put into each vide...I loved the creativity and care put into each video.
