Oct. 17, 2006 - SACFA- Day 1
Wow! What an amazing day! It was so awesome being among so many fellow Christian filmmakers with the same vision of becoming the industry that replaces Hollywood as the primary source of entertainment. I saw many faces I had met last year, and lots of new ones.As usual, Doug Philips did most of the talking, but I admit that his talk (at least, the one he gave during his alotted time) was very inspiring, and really did a good job of reminding us why we're doing this, which is to bring glory and honor to God, and to hopefully bring people to a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now, if only he wouldn't take up the other speakers' time so much...
Isaac Botkin spoke on the very practical topic of ways Christians can make an income doing video production, and David Rasmussen gave a presentation on his experiences shooting video on Mt. Everest and K2. Geoff Botkin quizzed us on what things we were most intersted in learning, (technical, theological, technique), where we got our gear (rental, own, or borrow), and even whether we used Macs or PCs.
PCs won, of course.
Well, I have to get ready for today's talks. Panavision will be giving a run-down on using 35mm film cameras. I'm definitely looking forward to that!
In Christ,
Zack
