Less Can Be More

This afternoon I’m shooting a promo video for our Men’s Ministry annual camp out that’s coming up in a few weeks. In the camp out and Men’s Fraternity videos that I’ve done in the last couple of years, I’ve included humor or “edginess” and have gotten mixed reviews. Although I still think that this style is definitely appropriate for Men’s Ministry, I’ve decided to cut out the gimmicks and simplify this year’s video.

I’ll get a talking head shot our Men’s Minister in a wooded setting giving all of the details for the camp out and encouraging men to attend. Then I’ll add b-roll that I shot at last year’s camp out. The last shot will be a stationary shot of something in the wooded area (I think there’s a large fallen tree in that area) that I can use as a background for the sign-up info.

This will probably take about an hour to shoot and a couple of hours to edit. Hopefully the “less is more” concept will hold true. I’ll post the video when I’ve finished it and you can let me know how it turned out (as iron sharpens iron...).
