EASTER : Behind the Music.

So it's Easter. Very exciting stuff. In case you haven't heard, Jesus has risen. He has risen indeed! YEAH! As awesome as Easter is, in the church biz, it's always more difficult for our team to develop a creative service for Easter than it is for Christmas. Probably cause there is much more "Christmas material" out there in the world, where as Easter "in the world" is all about bunnies & peeps. That doesn't translate so well in a church service.

But, I'm really liking what we have going on this Easter at our church. Good stuff. We've got an awesome team this year, and Shane (our video director) has come up with some killer ideas.

I don't want to give everything away... but for one song, we made a video that might have featured an "angel-y choir." I am going to let you have a glimpse in our Easter Prep...


So we threw down some fat vocals...







This is Jordan...a techie...he helped us out during the recording...but he'll design some killer lites for the weekend.


This is Shane...the mastermind. He told us we were going to wear robes and be a choir. So we did.



Kristi, Heidi, and Mandy...featuring Joel Lewis' head in the back. That's a good lookin' ear you have there Joel.


This is Heidi getting into character. She's very method.


Too much downtime in between takes leads to MC HAMMER MOVES.





Or Breakdancing...



This is Jeff. He is very mature.


We are not.


Anyway...it was a fun night. We are looking forward to a great weekend. Come join us and see the finished product! WWW.FCCHB.COM

Happy Easter!

Darn, that picture of you, Heidi and Mandy is out of focus totally my fault -- sorry! That's what I get for shooting manual.

Your vocals last night were incredible (I was in Billy's office while you recorded them.) Now that I see the pictures of what happened--I know why you guys were laughing hysterically. Did Shane get the dance moves on tape? That would've been good for entertainment some Saturday night.

Aw, I wish I could be there to hear you and see what you guys are doing to celebrate Easter. I'm sure it will be beautiful. One of these days we will have to pay a visit to HB. Love you!

Looks like you're have way too much fun. Jealous!

Rick said...

As I told you, the service was perfect. You guys all do such a great job of showing you believe what you sing. Still working on that myself!
