Project 1: Split Screen Jesus

This semester myself and fellow creatives will be working on several media projects. The first is a video project. The idea... to walk the viewer through scripture, from Genesis to Revelation... Explore the Bible's major themes and do it is a visually interesting way. Creative Act has put together a core group of people dedicated to seeing this project to it's completion. Some are designers, some are writers, some are filmmakers... others are just Christian voices whom we value and respect.

Our goal, to complete this journey through scripture in 30 minutes... The journey will require ten on camera speakers as well as a split screen effect. Our inspiration is a movie called The Tracey Fragments Lots of layering of video... multiple audio sources at any given time. In many ways sensory overload... Something that can be watch and explored over and over again. This fall myself and a group of creatives will be writing, story-boarding, and doing some initial filming. We will finish filming this spring and edit through the summer. It will be a long journey, but one we're getting excited about taking... The first step will be getting this core group together and brainstorming script ideas... sitting in front of a white board we we map out major themes found in scripture...

So my question to you... What are these themes? What stories or verses have to make the cut? What can we not overlook?
