Synaptic Light – a Journey in Filmmaking and Social Media

Kendra Fleming, Tom Shefchunas and Donnie Joiner from the North Point Leadership team came over for a visit to Southpoint Church in February. They had a whole to offer in terms of creativity, leadership and the wow factor. While I did not engage much, I was certainly impressed.
However, Kendra, has written quite a pertinent post about her visit to Camp SonShine in Maitland Garden Village.

Ok, so you want to show a clip from a DVD or from a TV show. It illustrates a point perfects and you only want a short piece. It is not like you are pirating the stuff, let alone making illegal copies for profit. In fact, showing the will not only serve the purpose of illustrating the point but will also promote the actual media source; maybe even result in a few sales and royalties for the content owners.

Right?

Last year I had the please to be involved with Southpoint Church putting together a video that just showed the involvement and result of all the gifts given to the children of Metro Kids Africa. There were so many Christmas boxes put together that a lot were given out to kids from a different organization.
I was not able to be at the hand out personally, but to be able to contribute with my what I have is just awesome.

Not many people are able to take their interests and passions to new levels with the help of the community – most have to go it alone, have to find their own opportunity and fight their own battles.

Southpoint Church gave me an opportunity to take my dream to a new level by helping me get involved in filmmaking, motion graphics and general video media. I have learnt how to use a professional camera, edit in Final Cut Pro, create industry standard DVDs and interact with the community. All that I can do now is a result of the opportunity afforded to me. Not many people get even a sniff of opportunity.

Thanks Southpoint Church. When I make my feature film you will certainly be credited.

This post was created as part of a global groundswell of gratitude called TweetsGiving. The celebration, created by US nonprofit Epic Change, is an experiment in social innovation that seeks to change the world through the power of gratitude. I hope you’ll visit the TweetsGiving site to learn more, and to bring your grateful heart to the party by sharing your gratitude, and giving in honor of that for which you’re most thankful.

Considering how close we are to renaming and rebranding our Church, I thought I would show a little about who we are from the promo video I did for us. Will definitely be a good idea to create a new and better one for the ‘re-launch’

Some of the leaders of our Church had the opportunity to interact with other leaders from other Churches. Here is a Quick Promotion that I put together to show some of the things that go down at Stellenberg Community Church

Now the volunteers at our church seriously rock!!!! But they can’t do an eight second set down. I can make it look like it, with some variable speed time re-mapping – he he he. Actually I ran out of tape in this case because the guys forgot a spanner – seriously.

None-the-less the volunteer team rocks!
