Celebrating 200 Years of Worship
Celebrating 200 Years of Worship from Brittany Brode on Vimeo.
This is a project I've been wanting to do for a long time. I was inspired by a video by Josh Emerson, a filmmaker I met at a creative meetup in Cincinnati. He interviewed various members of of the Vineyard Westside church who were about to go through adult baptism.
Their testimonies were so touching, so honest. That was the feel I wanted to capture when I interviewed members of my own church for our bicentennial celebration. The process was so amazing, and it was truly a blessing to hear what everyone had to say.

United Mission is a service outreach program through the American Baptist Churches.
As a freelance project for Technology Therapy Group, I edited this informational video on United Mission. The video was illustrated by Tom DiGrazia and narrated by Mary Stone and David Cucinotta.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate the differences
between Ozai’s coronation and Zuko’s? Because they’re literally as different as
night and day.
Ozai’s coronation is held in conjunction with a funeral, and
if that’s not a sign of things to come I don’t know what is. The fire sages
speak for Ozai, spewing lies about his father’s dying wish.
Zuko speaks for himself and he speaks from the heart,
promising to restore honor to the fire nation and balance to the world.
Ozai stands alone, surrounded by subjects all dressed in the
same hooded robes, and when he is crowned everyone bows in silence. Everyone,
even his own children.
Only the sages bow to Zuko. (And only for a moment.) The
courtyard is filled with Zuko’s friends and allies from around the world, all
of whom cheer wildly when he is crowned. He does not stand alone, but rather
insists on sharing his big moment with Aang, the Avatar, the person his nation
was so intent on destroying and the person he himself previously saw as a mere
means to an end, now one of his best friends. He even insists that Aang’s the
“real hero” of the day.
Also, it's a small thing, but it seems that Zuko didn't even bother lighting the ceremonial torches on either side of the courtyard. Fire is no longer the element of the enemy, but Zuko no longer sees it as the 'superior' element, either.

It was a show that so perfectly captured reality, with characters that were believable, stories that rang true...
...and seriously scary stuff.
