WatchI made a quick Bumper yesterday for the Jesus Dilemma kick off. I had to come up with something that wouldn’t be super lame in about 2-3 hours. It’s not the coolest thing ever, but I kinda like it.
After effects for animation and camera shake, Twitch, custom grading.
Check out the actual trailers here:
Trailer 1 - Crutch Trailer 2 - Hypocrites Trailer 3 - Uncertain

Current State of the Organized Body
For years, various writers and researches have reported that the North American church is anemic and lethargic at best. Many believe that Jesus’ commentary about Laodicea fits the church in America today, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!”
We aren’t risky. We settle for our systems and programs. Where is the...

WatchAPATHY “You can give without loving but you can’t love without giving.” The Rock Church sdrock.com Written and Directed by Christopher Loope I wanted to make a piece that dealt with the character flaws we all have that might prevent us from making an impact on our world. I think the biggest one we Americans have is “Apathy”. We see the problem, but do nothing about...

WatchLooking back at what I did last year for Cornerstone’s Easter promo.
This was the first video I custom built the environment and designed the lighting rig. The goal was to make something a little more artistic, straight forward and simple but not literal.
Dark against light. The contrast of Jesus, white/pure and the rest of us, dark and lifeless. Not only does the paint represent blood,...

Future work from The Rock Film crew

I am challenged, excited, and blessed to be working with the crew at The Rock church in San Diego. I have a DP that has incredible patience to work with someone like me.

WatchEaster promos. That is a media challenge. As a christian you really want to show an empty tomb. That is the ultimate reality, but for the world who might not even believe that, what do you do? This year I just wanted to tell the story with some energy and excitement. Almost with authority so that I could energize skeptics to give it a shot. I’d love to see what your church is doing. There...

Rich vs Poor
Do you realize that if you make $4,000 a month, you automatically make one hundred times more than the average person on this planet? - Francis Chan
I’m re-reading “Crazy Love”. Chan asks the question: “which is more messed up - That we have so much compared to everyone else, or that we don’t think we’re rich?”
Remember how hard Jesus said it will be for...

WatchHistory records that a young Carpenter from the wrong side of the tracks was tried three times in a night, and then killed in a public execution. Crucifixions were common. The response to this one was anything but. His life and death has changed the course of human history, altered art, created the calendar, ignited wars, reset national borders, inspired governments, divided families, caused...

We've got it all backwards!
When you stop and think about it… God has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving than we do to ask Him.
If it is your desire to make an end to your own personal corruption, the perversion of your purpose, begin with prayer, and then step out. Lead your friends, family, and church to a change in the unbalance. Lean into a warmer larger heart, and ask for the courage to be...

Missional VS Attractional Church
Is this a dilemma your church wrestles with? I can’t stop thinking that it’s as simple as seeing yourself as the church. If you (one person) is or represents Christ’s church, would you feel more compelled to make yourself look attractive as a Christian or go out and reach/bless people? I made a video I want to share with you… I’ll post soon.

The Rock is desperately seeking to reach out to the city of San Diego. Miles McPherson encourages everyone who sits in a seat or calls the church their home to serve relentlessly in their community. Why? Because Jesus set a new standard for social standard and...

WatchWhen I first started at the Rock I became instantly overwhelmed with how much outreach they were doing. I am encouraged by what they are doing but I wanted to create a Vision video for the attenders to celebrate and for visitors to buy into. Who is the Rock? Who is Miles McPherson? Why all the sweat, blood, and back breaking hard work? I’d love feedback and to see what you are doing at your...
