Weekend, Video Stuff, and Music

This weekend I actually got to go to church and not work! I really rarely get a weekend like this so it was wonderful to just go and visit like, dare I say, a normal person? I mean, don't get me wrong I love my job and what I do, but sometimes it's just nice to relax and enjoy going to church and being able to sit next to my wife and just be there.

Anyway, there have been some new developments the world of video producing I am just itching to try. Some cool new gear, methods of editing workflows, motion graphic design, all the stuff that I just love to do. I frequent a web site that is a great resource for motion graphics and visual effects called videocopilot.net. It is the brain child of Andrew Kramer, the man is simply brilliant. He uses his years of experience to train and mold others into strong and confident makers of all things cool. In the two years I've visited the site I feel more and more confident in my abilities thanks to him. Also, I have noticed more and more people wanting to get involved and help out in the video production area of the church, and this excites me to no end! God can use anyone anywhere and this is proof of that. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to work where I do, and I am always thanking God for allowing me the chance to serve Him this way.

A few months ago I was part of a band and we played at the Softball Banquet up at the church, it was a ton of fun, and I was sad when it was all over. However, it spawned a yearning in us and we all wanted to get together again and play some more so I am happy to say in May we get to again!! Stonebridge is throwing a crawfish boil in Montgomery as an outreach to attract new people to the church, and the Softball Band is playing again. Keep an eye out for a Stonebridge Tweet on when and where. We are doing a lot more songs this time round and should have a lot more rehearsals before then. I am really excited about this!

Well, till next Monday, Peace!
