Some video notes

Upcoming Summertime short film

I've been working on the storyboarding and initial shots of this film for the past few weeks and have been impressed with how its turning out. My sister and I have been working on molding the storyline and subplots for a while and have finally agreed with a good one. Look out for this short film in early August.





City Bible Church Vids


Here are two videos that were made at church. The first one is a promotional for Generation Church 217. The second one is an unfinished lipsync music video with the Edge band. The music video was supposed to be for the kids ministry on Super Sunday but we couldn't finish it in time.

How to make a Chocolate Cake


My little sister Rachael and I found ourselves sitting alone in the house at 1 am on night. Just about everyone had fallen asleep and we decided to make a fun baking video (our mom ended up helping a little bit with the baking). The video took us about 2 hours to shoot. It then took me another 4 hours to edit.






The Moebius Social Experiment

*My Testimonial*
I was watching some ImprovEverywhere videos one night when I noticed their "Moebius" video that they had pulled in a NYC Starbucks. The point of the event was to confuse costumers by have a group of people create a 5 minute loop of activity that they continued to repeat and repeat for an hour. By the end of the ImprovEverywhere video the customers and staff were really confused and referenced that they felt like they were in the "Twilight Zone." My sister and I called up 5 friends at George Fox and we all decided to recreate the Moebius "prank" at Chapters Books in Newberg. Our video roughly followed the same guidelines, we hid a
camera in the corner, 5 of us performed a 3-minute loop of activity, consisting of 4 parts, for 30 minutes. The event was a success, we had practiced each of our parts at the university for only 10 minutes before we began.


*Silvi Luft's Testimonial*
Although I was beet-red and nervous through the whole act, I found it amusing to shake up people's worlds a little bit. I sat down and watched (out of the corner of my eye) as Jordan and Tony came through the door and disappeared by the counter. All I could hear was Tony nearly shouting "Women!". Then, seconds later, Les only a table away would shout "Ah, it crashed again!". Then I'd get up and ask him for napkins, while texting Josh the cue "go" so he would wander through the store playing the 80s hit on his laptop.
The man sitting next to me began shifting in his seat more and more and looking like he knew something was up. Everyone else went about their business, and my view of the counter was hidden. I think we definitely broke the ice in the coffee shop and people seemed relieved to share their observations of us crazy kids. It was fun!


*Jordan Enobakhare's Testimonial*
Definitely one of the crazier things I've done, but it was pretty entertaining...I think the hardest part was walking by the same lady 16 (8 times entering, 8 times exiting) times. Seriously, she was getting worried. And I had had a short conversation with the cashiers before we started the loop, so it was kind of awkward to apparently "steal" some guy's coke in front of them, having established myself as a nice sort of girl beforehand.

Still, it all made some priceless memories. Quite an experience.
