I have a couple of things for you today. First is a new video. This was a presentation I did this past Sunday, which was VERY well received by the audience. If you’ve ever struggled with keeping a positive focus, this presentation will give you a few things that will help. I’d also like to…
Since I last wrote, winter has hit Michigan. It’s kind of strange. Both last year and this year, the trees held on to their leaves until our first snow. Actually, at the moment, we still have a few trees with green leaves on them. I guess they are the ones ignoring physical reality and focusing…
I’ve got a new video for you. This past Sunday, I did another 45-minute workshop on tapping into your own Divine Power to manifest a lifetime of joy and happiness. It’s called Divine Dynamics, and you’ll see it below. In this workshop, you’ll see how I combine many of the ideas I’ve shared over the…
I recently presented a workshop focused on helping folks find a fun and rewarding way to earn a living, and maybe even become financially wealthy. One of the things I really love about the audience for this workshop is that they are focused on being of service to the world around them. I love this…
I’m adding a new video to my portfolio here to showcase how a PowerPoint presentation may be converted to an online presentation. The challenge with doing videos of a live presentation using PowerPoint is that often, the lights are dimmed so the audience can see the screen, and rarely is is possible to get a…
I just posted the video from my talk last night at the local Coptic Center. In this talk, I provide some details on how we can increase our ability to use the 3 key factors which make prayer work, namely Faith, Focus, and Feeling. This talk wraps up with a guided walkthrough of the Harmonic…
Yesterday, I gave a talk at a local Unity church on Harmonic Prayer, the 3 key principles which make it work, and the simple 5-step process I used to get positive results consistently. Enjoy!
A nephew of mine brought in some fireworks to a family get together, and it was a perfect opportunity for me to test out my ability to capture quality video from such a display. I think we all did rather well — Jeff, myself, and my DVX200. Video was shot with VLOG, at UHD 60fps…
A little over a week ago, I gave a 45-minute preview of my new Harmonic Prayer workshop to a local group. In this preview, you get the main principles which make prayer work, and a simple 5-step process to ensure that you get maximum results from your prayers. Using these principles, and similar processes, I’ve…
Here’s a recent project I worked on, doing both videography and editing for a video intended to elicit donations and volunteers to help out with continuing efforts to support those affected by a recent flood in the area of Niles, MI. I’ve pulled out the contact info for this version, but otherwise, it’s essentially what…
Just finished editing and uploading a video which used a new piece of equipment — a Flycam stabilizer. This is a “steadi-cam” type of tool, which helps to keep the camera steady when moving around. Since this was my first time using it, I wasn’t as steady with it as I’d like, so I also…
While this video is relatively simple, and the audio isn’t the greatest, I’m adding it to my video portfolio for a couple of reasons. First, it highlights the flexibility of the new DVX200 I bought a few months ago. For whatever reason, I wasn’t happy with the default color matrix, as many skin tones turned…
I was recently asked to record a concert given at the Coptic Center I’ve been working with a lot lately. The concert was performed by Mark Handler, who may be found at http://www.tibetanbowls.org. There were a couple of challenges in getting a good recording. While the audio portion was relatively easy — a generally quiet…
Here is a short, 20-minute video I put together describing the basics of Harmonic Prayer. This is the first video I’ve produced with a new piece of equipment — a teleprompter! For those interested, a Glide Gear TMP100, to be precise, which requires a tablet to display the notes/script. For the tablet, I’m using an…
Last night, I had the opportunity to record a workshop in which the “best” shots would be in the middle of all the activity. This was a new experience for me, as I normally record events from the sidelines where I’m not in anyone’s way. Luckily, no one minded my being there. Maybe because I…
For the past four and a half years, I’ve been recording services at the Coptic Center here in the Grand Rapids area, and using this as practice as I develop my skills as a videographer. I started in 2013 with the Nikon D800 camera I bought for still photography, and then added a ‘real’ video…
This is a first-time interview with someone who is starting a new website and wanted to introduce herself in a more personal way with video. I asked her a series of questions and edited together her answers to compile this documentary-style promo video. Original interview recorded on a chromakey green screen, with park footage used…
Did you know it’s possible that YOU are the most important person in the whole of creation? I’m serious! We never know the end result of what we do, and any little remark you make can help the listener open a door to a whole new world of possibility. I can recall quite a few…
