Leaders In Action

This is the most recent video I produced for One Life Church. Austin Maxheimer, the small groups leader, approached me with a very simple concept for the video. The idea was to show Life Group leaders at work and leading their groups. What Austin wanted to communicate is the “why” these guys lead a Life Group and at the same time show visually these are everyday people with jobs like the rest of us.

I spent about four hours shooting the footage. An hour at work for each leader and an hour hanging with their groups at homes. I recorded the voice overs at the group meetings in a separate room to avoid background noise. I also tried to keep some of the natural sound from the clips in the mix to add a bit of life to the footage.

I graded the footage in black and white for two reasons. One to save time! Because of scheduling I was rushed to deliver everything on Friday. Secondly, I was inspired by a picture Jeff Seymore had sent us on a baby dedication concept for pictures. I liked his design of graphic, and was inspired to use the same look in the videos.
