Seeds - Making the Video
This week, rather than another "Read Along" psalm video, I made a video to go with last week's released song, "Seeds" from Isaiah 61:8-11.
I tried doing my own stop-motion-animation using a whiteboard, but I'm just not a good enough artist for that, so instead my wife and I made a new flower bed along our back porch, and then I put the gimbal and camera on a skateboard, and ran it slowly along the porch so the earth background could scroll along.
Before this, initially I was trying to find footage I could use. I wanted something like a time-lapse of a seed germinating, but there just wasn't anything that looked professional enough to work for me and I didn't have time to make my own.
I'm quite happy with how this turned out! I think the flower blooms at the end, although a bit cheesy, are a nice touch.
But I want to know what you think!
