Video production continues on the Interactive Edition of “By This Name”. We have been keeping a busy shooting schedule but our crew is doing a great job.

My view of things

Please pray for our video crew and the production. A complex project like this will have many challenges, but one of our biggest is noise from outside our office. We are very thankful for our studio, but we are located in what must be the noisiest part of town. Near us we have:

  • a trucking company,
  • a seed cleaning plant,
  • a concrete plant,
  • an autobody shop where they do sandblasting outside,
  • trucks filling up with water just outside the studio,
  • and then there are the train tracks just a few dozen meters away…

All these sources of noise cause many retakes and force us to take frequent breaks, but, despite this, we are still making good progress and our staff are encouraged with what we are getting filmed.
Here is a preview of one of the sections from the book. This video deals with explaining eternity, and how God has always been and always will be. He is without beginning or end. Eternity is, of course, difficult to understand and express to others, so we use some visual aids to help. This is from Chapter 2, Section 2 from “By This Name.”

 

I enjoyed working on this particular segment because it combines my interests in astronomy with teaching others about God. This one will probably end up being the most complicated one to edit as it involved many different video segments that I had to create with some free astronomy software (Celestia).

I hope to post more segments as I get opportunity to edit them together.
