CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

This summer I'm working on three projects at the same time, and all of them have to do with Video Editing...

The 1st project is finishing a quick highlight reel for our churches Vacation Bible School by the end of this week...

2nd project: I'm finally finishing up shooting for an amuature movie I've been making with a bunch of friends. But becuase some of these friends are leaving for college at the end of July/beginning of August, I have to finish up their scenes within these next week and a half (I can't work on it the third week of July, becuase I'll be going to a week-long High School Leadership Training seminar in S. Carolina)...

And finally the third project is a 30-min. documentary that I have to complete by the end of August...and I still haven't captured any footage to my computer yet...

The reason for that is that the computer's just giving me a lot of trouble....

So, baisically I'm asking for prayer, that God will give me strength and perserverance through this time....don't get me wrong....I love this type of work, but when things aren't working out it's real easy to get stressed...Please pray that I'll finish these projects the way he'd want me to finish them.

Thanks...

Praying

So many tasks so little time, I know how it is. Praying...

Oh yes, thats quite alot of stuff God has dished out on your plate. But always remember God will never give you more than you can handle! Ive got through alot of stuff that I didn't think Id be able to accomplish. In the words of Tony Little, "You can do it!"(Who you probably don't even know, just words of encouragement.) I'll be praying for you as well.

Quick update:Finished the virst project....but almost didnt....Baisically I worked on it the day before (as well as that actual day that) they would be showing it (which was Friday)....

If you want to know how close I was, I baisically was burning the the dvd 20 minutes before I had to show it...and I made it to the church just in time...Thanks for the prayers guys...

So, that makes 1 down, 2 more to go...

Quick update: This week and the next are going to be really tough for me...Those friends who are part of the film are going to be leaving for college at the end of the week, and I'm really going to have to work over time to finish their scenes.....On top of that I've got minus four weeks to finish the documentary...

You'll be in my prayers.

Awww, man, I know how it feels to be loaded. In my prayers.

Well, the time of stress has come....I now have approximately 5 and half days to finish the documentary.....and I still have alot to finish....
Please pray that God will give me strength as well as wisdom in choosing clips that might glorify Him....Thanks...
PS: other prayers appreciated....I did finish those shots with my college friends....

Great news update:....
The documentary is finally finished and in the bag....it was kind've bittersweet to finish it like this, mainly becuase I've done video work with them since they began in 2005 and this is kind've my last project for them....But anyways thanks for the prayers guys....
Now onto the last project, which will no doubt be done in winter....
PS: Forgot to mention, God diserves all the credit for this one....for without Him to motivate me, it might have looked alot different then it did, but it turned out better then I could've imagined.....Again It was all Him.....

Quick prayer request:

This afternoon I will be shooting the final scene of a movie I've been working on and it's probably going to be the most difficult of all with just the amount of needs to be done....Baiscally I have two and half hours to work and I'm already freaking out about how it's supposed turn out......I'll explain later....

Just pray that God would have his hand on myself, my (very small) crew, and the actors (who are baisically friends who don't do pro acting, which might make this scene more difficult).....That everything would turn out for his glory......Thanks

Having helped out on little film projects like this, I can really appreciate the kind of stress you're dealing with right now. I'll be praying.
