September has been a very busy month for the team at CP.  We had a number of videos to film and edit for our favorite client, Union Rescue Mission.  You can view one of the recent videos we completed for URM below.  It’s a story of how the simple act of giving cold water can make a difference in someone’s life.

We were also busy finishing up the next Deidox film which provides a unique glimpse into the underground church in China.  Today we finished up the final cut and have sent it to our colorist and our composer.  Once they complete their magic we will do the final sound mix and be ready to share this important story with the world.  Stay tuned for the actual release date of Deidox | Li Yang in a few weeks.

A trip to China – July Recap

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

This month, part of the team from CP took a secret trip to China to work on a short film for the Deidox series.  They spent time learning about the underground church and following an individual who is risking his life to share Christ with his friends and neighbors.  We are so glad they made it back safely and look forward to the story they have to tell.  The new film will hopefully be released in Sept. or Oct.  Click here to learn more about Deidox.

The team from CP also produced another film for Union Rescue Mission.  This summer URM provided a camp experience for over 100 kids who are part of their program.  Take a moment to watch Bobby’s story.

New “Stories from Skid Row” video – Beatriz

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

In the midst of a Tsunami of families facing hardship, precious single moms and their children are escaping the mean streets of Skid Row and finding refuge at Union Rescue Mission’s Hope Gardens Family Center. It’s a place where single moms can exchange fear for hope and the opportunity for a new life in a safe, caring environment.

To help tell the story of this process, we produced a short documentary that follows Beatriz, a young single mother, as she transitions both physically and emotionally into her new home. This is a short in the ongoing “Stories from Skid Row” series that we do for LA’s Union Rescue MIssion.

Music was graciously provided by Eluviumwww.eluvium.net

Monday, November 24th, 2008

 

We did a shoot this past weekend at Union Rescue Mission on Skid Row in Los Angeles during their big Thanksgiving feast. They cooked 450 turkeys for the event. It was a pretty cool event. The video will come out next year around Thanksgiving (yes, 12 months from now. a long time.). Here are some pics.
