How about a few entries about oldie video’s we’ve created in the past that I haven’t posted? With this one, we were aiming to humorously illustrate the topic of “advice.” Where do we look for it? What kind of advice is it? Do we believe it? Why? Why not?
Created by Tim Gosnell and Jeremy Wilkinson. Shot on Canon 7d, Sennheiser K6 series shotgun, Zoom H4N. Enjoy my cameo…but make no comments about the strength of my neck, head placementl, or any other attacks on my execution of such a delicate maneuver.
At Blue Ridge, Celebrate Recovery meets on Sunday afternoons. The purpose of CR is to help people work towards recovery from various hurts, habits, and hang-ups that life may present. There seemed to be a myth floating around @_theridge that CR is for “those people,” usually referring to a drug addict or alcoholic. (You may have even had the stereotypical image pop into your head as you read that.) While CR is certainly a helpful tool for the drug addict or alcoholic, it actually covers far more life issues. When you’re co-dependant and enabling, when you can’t seem to get a grip on your anger, past relationship hurts, past mistakes you wish you could take back, the inability to control your thoughts, sex addiction, fear, when everyone else seems to be the problem and well, I could keep listing them off. When they asked for a short video promo to debunk the myth of “those people” and encourage people to come to an Intro to Celebrate Recovery I felt strongly about the purpose and accepted the task. Here were our goals going into it:
Make it fun and light
Make it short and simple
Make it relatable and non-threatening
Make people want to come check it out
Tim Gosnell and I worked on it together. We left space at the end for a text bumper containing information about the Intro to CR event. Both of us are complete amateurs when it comes to video…so please, share your critique as we always are striving to learn and improve with how we communicate!
