Welcome Back Matt Blair!

April 19, 2008 / Editorial, News

Matt Blair, singer and songwriter has decided to come back home to Wilmington and we’re thrilled. Matt took a leap of faith and moved to Nashville to follow his dream of making music for a living. Now he and his family have decided that our little beach town is where they belong and we welcome them back with open arms. I was honored to be asked to shoot his album cover entitled “Letting Go”. I still remember the looks on their faces when I suggested having him toss an acoustical guitar into the ocean. Hopefully Matt will be playing at more of our services at PC3 as well at other venues around town.
You can find his inspirational music on iTunes and look for his new album later this year.

“PURSUIT” Video | A Car Chase for God

April 8, 2008 / Editorial, Film

Pursuit 1

As many of you already know, I have been volunteering with our very cool church PC3 (http://www.portcitychurch.org) for a couple of years now. About a month ago my very talented friend Evan Vetter, director of e*Media at PC3, asked me if I would serve as Director of Photography on his largest production to date. Of course I said “Yes!”

The result is a short film that enhances the weekly worship experience and sets up the message for that particular sermon series. In this case we are learning about the “pursuit” of Wisdom. What better way to bring these passages from Proverbs into the 21st century but by creating a car chase!

A few quick facts regarding this production:

  • 1 Custom score created for this film
  • 2 Automobiles worth over $100,000
  • 3 Panasonic HVX-200 high definition video cameras
  • 5 Professional stunt drivers
  • 6 Shooting days on location
  • 7 Actors (3 pros—can you tell which are the amateurs?)
  • 25+ volunteers, all of whom attend our church
  • And numerous in-house CGI special effects

Check out my latest effort as Director of Photography below….

“CONNECTED” | Series for Port City Church

April 1, 2008 / Editorial, Film

“Connected” was a message series at church featuring my daughter, Lucy. My responsibilities included shooting the printed program, lighting the video, wardrobe selection and of course wrangling my four-year-old. This is another great example of PC3’s dedication to excellence in branding their individual sermon series.
