SHOOTING IN HD NOW

Today we begin shooting scenes in earnest.
Actually, we'll be shooting in HD, but you know what I mean.
We're ready to start filming today because last night our team sat down with the current missionaries to the Moi people, Stephen and Carolyn Crockett and Rich and Karen Brown, and went through the rough script.
You can't come into a setting like this with a "finished" script. There are too many variables that you need to work through day-by-day, even hour-by-hour.
Last night the Crocketts and Browns offered helpful little suggestions like, "Gee, that sounds like it would be really good on film, but it's grossly inaccurate."
OK, they were nicer than that, but you get the picture. In the end, we came out with a script that is slightly less rough - and far more accurate and real, as well as a rough-out of each scene and a shooting plan for today.
We also decided to meet each evening to make sure we're on track and agree on the next steps, and to bathe this project in prayer.
If this film is what we want it to be, it will glorify God, stir praise and worship of our Creator, and inspire others to get involved in the work He is doing; as well as getting the Moi believers involved in all that.
Will you please join us in praying that, in God's strength and by His power, we reach those goals?
You see, it is pretty cool to go to a remote little hamlet on the other side of the world and make a short film. And I don't think any of us take this opportunity for granted.
But it's nothing if it's not all for Him. And being part of something this neat pales in comparison to working together with this team and the missionaries and the Moi believers to bring praise and glory to God.
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
