Jumpstart video shoot

Last week, More Than You Imagine Ministries made its second Jumpstart Bible study video, planned for launch in January 2012. This was totally made possible by two Michelles: Michelle L, videographer, and Michelle F, Women's Ministry director for Church of the Resurrection (and director of the video shoot).

Turns out that working outdoors on a video during the middle of a fall day is a bit challenging. One neighbor was having a tree stump removed -- noisy. Another neighbor was having three trees replaced -- less noisy, but the workers talked really loud. And, we had to work around barking neighborhood dogs, scurrying squirrels, and Archie, my cat, climbing all around the set. Somewhere along the way, we prayed and the Holy Spirit took over the day. We were grateful.

What I learned from this video shoot:
  • Let the experts do their jobs (Michelle and Michelle)
  • Prayer does not replace practice (I spent many hours memorizing the talk)
  • Prayer does replace perfectionism
  • A video shoot has some stress, but is mostly fun
  • Work is always more fun with friends - Becky, Kathy, Michelle and Michelle
  •  
P.S. Video and study materials for the first Jumpstart study are available on the More Than You Imagine website for free! You can do the study in your own home with friends or family. Be sure to let me know what you think.

    1. What a wonderful and inspirational day it is with Susan, Becky, Kathy, & Michelle F. As a videographer I can get caught up in the stress of the "job" but it is always lessened by hearing the messages you so eloquently convey, of which I am there to preserve. A big THANK YOU goes to all of you for inspiring me through this opportunity!
