We recently finished a new series of teaching videos for our partner DSG Consulting. DSG regularly trains some of the top sales teams in the nation to have effective meetings with high-level executives. The DSG consultants are a wealth of knowledge themselves, so we designed an approach for them that hinges on one of their key tools: the whiteboard. The goal was to balance an extended discussion with the visuals to keep it moving along. We were pleased with the results.
We recently finished a new piece for Ligonier Ministries and Reformation Bible College. I looked back over it this morning and was pleased with how it turned out. Much of that had to do with the great content in the four interviews. But as my editor and I approached the piece, we wondered what the best organizational structure would be. Since we both like music, we decided that copying the musical structure of a string quartet might be fun. To understand our perspective, imagine each student a different instrument and the entire video having three progressing, yet related themes. The goal was to weave the themes together as the students developed them, one picking up from another and then another coming in and continuing, and so forth. All to say, they’re going to have a great semester. I just wish I were down in Orlando in a classroom rather than here in Nashville.
We were asked by Ligonier ministries to create a short promo piece for their new online study center called Ligonier Connect. It’s a neat system that enables people to hear lectures from RC Sproul, read through material he’s written, and discuss theology with other students online. We decided to approach it from a silent film perspective, using a question about justification as the ball that gets batted from person to person. It was a fun little puzzle to put together. To get the most out of it, try to follow the argument as it develops – that is, after all, what’s so engaging about Ligonier Connect.
We produced this little spot for B&H’s new book by Candace Cameron Bure about being spiritually and physically healthy. In watching all the footage, including a lot of things that weren’t included here, what impressed me most was how honest and natural she was. It certainly made it easy to make it real.
