More from the Media Safari

Posted in Media Safari Outreach on April 23, 2012 by Administrator

Create Perth and the SFM are back from outreach! We had an amazing time, producing resources designed to help bring the love of Jesus to Muslims in Southeast Asia, many of whom have never heard the full Gospel message. There were all sorts of oddities traveling (massively delayed plane on the way there, a cancelled plane on the way home) and lots of challenges and obstacles, but God came through every time.

We produced both an evangelistic drama and a mobilization documentary for our target audience, caught some amazing footage, and met some wonderful people along the way.

Some of the highlights of our team include:

• Meeting the local believers who helped us by being actors and providing props, costumes and locations for our dramatic video

• Getting a group of local children to knock over a man carrying chickens as part of our evangelistic film (all actors of course)

• Visiting an intensely beautiful waterfall (two of them, actually) during an amazing hike around one of the areas that we stayed at

• Filming important scenes at unusual locations, including a rushing river and out on the streets of the area we were staying in

• Finding a replacement actor for a small but crucial role in our evangelistic film when our original choice was suddenly unavailable

• Having the time to make each shot beautiful, and discovering whether the way to do that was to handhold the camera, put it on a tripod, or use a monopod, mini-dolly, jib, or steadicam.

• Getting the material we needed for three different language versions of the evangelistic film which will eventually be available for many different Muslim groups in Southeast Asia
