Hiccups

// January 25th, 2010 // Video

Tim Gosnell, our newest technical staff member, created this video short to illustrate various old wives’ tales regarding the best way to get rid of hiccups. As you read this, what things have you heard of doing to get rid of them? Various water drinking methods? Questionable body positions? Potentially dangerous amateur medical practices? These and other ideas were mentioned here but seriously, how do we really get rid of hiccups?

The creative team was looking for a fun way to setup the fact that when we’re faced with issues and challenges in life we need to use caution when seeking for truth, for answers. We need to be able to discern truth from opinion as we walk through life together. The truths that God has communicated to us through the Bible will be the guide.

Take a look: (it’s my first cameo! which one am i?)
