Video exsists to reach out in a way that today's society can relate to. Media exsists not only to answer questions, but to cause people to ask questions. It can deliver a message, but more importantly it engages and brings people into a discussion about truth and self-evaluation. It is our goal to create products that cause people to wonder, to ask questions and show that our God is a God of love, compassion, and comfort. We shall develop professional and engaging videos for use by churches, youth groups, religious organizations and families. We offer the following video production services:
• Documentaries
• Short Videos
• Inspirational Videos
• Promotional videos
• Special events
 

Today over 75% of households in America have access to the internet. It is a medium in which more and more people are turning to to search for just about everything. People are drawn to sites that not only deliver the information they are seeking, but are also easily navigated and aestecially pleasing. Unless you have hundreds or thousands of dollars to spare, most churches and para-church organizations cannot afford to have a site professionally done. Here are the services that we provide:

• Complete design and build of your website. Includes consultation, logo design, page design and build.
• Redesign of your exsisting website.

Numerous churches and para-church organizations have created their own in house audio/video teams to take on the day-to-day needs they encounter. These positions are held, in some cases, by individuals who have a desire to do this work but are not fully equiped for the task at hand. Our goal is to teach these individuals the skills vital to the positions they hold, or plan to hold, in order to better enable them to serve in this capacity. These services shall be offered on an as needed basis and will be held at a centrailized location to maximize the individuals in attendence. These seminars will not be limited to the specific individuals who will be taking on this responsibility, but to anyone who is interested in learning more about video production. In this way we can use this service as an outreach to non-believers, in a fun and practical way. Here is a sample list of topics that we will cover:
• Camera Basics
• Videography
• Editing Basics
• Shooting strategies
• Storyboarding
• Advanced editing
• Lighting
• Film Theory
• Sound

Research shows that media and the arts have a large influence in today’s society.  Just as Christ did, it is our responsibility to be in the world but not of the world if we are to reach people today.  As evidence of this point many churches have started to add video presentations into their services as well as incorporate a more modern media-centric worship setting.  It isn’t just the younger generation that is impacted by entertainment and media; on the contrary, everyone’s life has been impacted in some way or another by this medium.  It is no new concept that any communicator should take into account the audience to which they are communicating.  Media is important because it speaks to the younger generations, especially, as well as all generations.  It can clearly deliver a message, but more importantly it engages people and can bring them into a conversation about the truth.  To today's generations, information is not meant for exposure – information is to be explored, experienced, and discussed.

 

 

One important trend is the ever-increasing weight media holds in today’s society.  Many Americans assume that the most common way of experiencing the Christian faith is by attending a church service.  A nationwide survey conducted in 2002 by the Barna Group reports a different conclusion.  A greater number of adults experience the Christian faith through the Christian media, such as radio, television/film or books. 
The new study states that slightly more than six out of ten professing Christian American adults (63%) attended a church service during the last month.  In contrast, two out of every three adults (67%) used at least one of the three forms of Christian media for a dose of the Christian faith in the past month.
Barna also provided figures indicating that among the 65 million unchurched adults in the United States – that is, adults who have not attended a church service during the past six months other than for a holiday service or special event – an unexpectedly large 48% had been exposed to Christianity through these media in the course of a year.

A decade ago, faith-related websites were not on the radar screens of Americans; This trend is quickly changing.  Today, one out of every six adults spends some time visiting faith-oriented websites, including 10% of non-believers.
