Alex Stone’s Guide to Shooting Church Events
- 50mm for emotion, wide angle for celebration
- Move your waist around so your footage looks like an episode of Friday Night Lights
- Stand on chairs.
a) for cool angles
b) because you’re holding a camera and no one will tell you to get down - Try not to ruin Becca’s shots with your large, weird-shaped mass I/you call a body
- Hoodies forever. Even when it’s super hot. #hoodielyfe

MABC Women’s Ministry “Christmas Traditions” Title Screen
More examples of 3D compositions. Made with no extra plugins. Basic 3D layers, lighting, and Particle Playground action. I wish I could zazz up the titles a bit. I had a cool effect in Particular that made the “Christmas Traditions” look like a glittered ornament, but until I’m ready to shell out the money for that plug-in, I’m not gonna use it for anything besides messing around.
Again, I will replace this with the full res version when I am alotted another HD upload. Maybe a Vimeo Plus account would be cool to get for Christmas? :)
MABC: Wii Fit / 40 Days of Community Logo

No forms required, no limitations, and no trade of services or goods. If you needed clothes, all you had to do was show up and take what you needed.
