Sixth podcast - Experience life Church

Well this is the last podcast and blog for this series. I'm kind of sad its coming to an end so soon! This week episode highlighted a new church here in Lubbock called Expereince life. Because of scheduling conflicts, I wasn't able to get a video interview like your used to seeing but I have gotten to attend there several times and give you an overview in the podcast. This episode is a bit shorter than I usually have due to no video but the photos are excellent and should give you a feel for the environment. I had no real editing problems and feel pretty comfortable with the whole editing process now...I guess I should, after six! Overall, I am pleased with the finished product and the series as a whole! I hope you enjoy!

Fifth podcast - Bacon Heights Baptist Church

Well this week was Bacon Heights University Ministry. Awesome name for a church, makes me think of the sugar-glazed bacon from Gardski's! Enough about food, this week was a little different in the matter of editing and my time frame. Instead of their service being in the morning, it's Sunday nights at 8pm. Pretty cool outside the box thinking there! I also appreciate their deeds on campus, you'll hear about those in the podcast. Since it usually takes be about 6 hrs to crank one of these out, I was really crunched for time once I got home Sunday night at 9:30! Everything went well and I got it done in a decent amount of time. It was fun though, doing something different for a change. The band let me have a CD of theirs so the song you hear during the stills is from them. I tried to stick to the same format as last time with the video intro zoom-in and outro zoom-out. I thought our interview went well and Jake is a great guy! Really had a good time getting to hang out with him for a couple of hours. Overall, I am pleased with the product.

Fourth podcast - Southcrest Baptist Church

Ok, so this week in the series was Southcrest University Ministry. This was pretty cool, I enjoyed getting to know a few of the guys over there and not to mention my two roommates go there. I went with just a single-camera format as Keith and I sat in his office to talk. I worked extensively in imovie and was proud of the extracted audio effect to blend video into stills while the audio still plays. I have a lot more footage of both preaching and the band but I could only have 10 min for the project. Since I shot it with the HDV camera, uploading the files to my machine took like 3 hours after formating to widescreen and letterboxing. I didn't get to put in as many stills as I usually do with projects but things worked out well. Audio worked better than last week with only a couple of skips. All in all, I'm happy with the product and believe it to be quality.
