Word Alive Live Back

This is the back design for the now canceled Word Alive Live CD that I posted the designs to a couple of weeks ago. This was going to be the back featuring the song titles, UPC and everything, but the project got canned. Could've been a really nice album, but life goes on. Perhaps I'll use these designs elsewhere in THE FUTUUUUUURE!

The Muddles by Dr Spoof

Another creative element for the Crown Financial series at Word Alive this Dr. Seuss spoof was written, colored, and animated by Yours Truly, illustrated by Andrew Willmore, and performed live by Bill Byrd. I didn't post the live performance on YouTube, as fantastic as it was, because to time the animations with a live storyteller required reading the story much slower than intended. So I threw all the animations together and read it myself in the style that I see it read in. Because the animations were designed for a live reading, they seem a little choppy, but the get the point across!

Head Check: Work

During the Crown Financial Series, we had various creative elements to highlight each subject. For the week on "work" we decided to do a Man on the Street (MOTS) style video, as they are unpredictable and usually quite enlightening. Since MOTS is usually a bunch of talking heads, we decided to go with the highly reusable "Head Check" design. It never ceases to amaze me that God gives us the grace and favor to put these things together in a coherent manner, because with MOTS, you never know what you are going to get. As always, let me know if you like the video, and rate 'em on YouTube.

Church Without Walls Video

This video was done for Word Alive's 6 year Anniversary on December 17, 2006. This is currently one of my favorite projects, even though there are things I would have changed had I the time. Perhaps I will re-edit this for another use and make the changes I would have done given more time. This features one of my new favorite songs "He Loves Us" by John Mark McMillan. Gorgeous song and the video accompanies it well. I hope you enjoy it, and please rate it on YouTube if you do! Let me know what you think!

Church Without Walls

Well, Word Alive celebrated its 6th anniversary this past Sunday and we had a celebration service commemorating the occasion, which means that I needed to supply a "look" for the services. I designed this bulletin cover, which ended up being a great basis for our video. I'm uploading the video to YouTube as I am typing this, so when that gets finished, you will be able to see a low res version of that file as well. What do ya think?

Word Alive Live!

Here's my latest design for the home team. Word Alive will be releasing a live worship CD this month and this was my first design for the cover. I really enjoyed the look of this design, with the symbolic guitarist and blood. Our color this year has been blue, hence the hue. This first design wasn't approved as the focus was a little on the guitar. I had intended it to infer a live concert/ worship, but that didn't work. The final approved design is the one with the crowd. Which do you prefer?
