We’ve collaborated with Praxis Church to oversee production on a number of promotional videos from script to screen.

The Survivor’s Guide to the Apocalypse

When Pastor Justin Anderson decided to tackle the often thorny issue of end times, he didn’t want it to be heavy. We came up with the idea of creating a campy spoof on 1950s fallout videos, incorporating the theme into a video series and accompanying collateral. The result was a huge success.

Praxis Advent Sermon Series

For the 2009 Advent season, Praxis chose the topic of generosity. This campaign included a special offering the week before Christmas to help fund a counseling center in Fiji for victims of sex trafficking, with the goal of $10,000 to be raised. Knowing it would be difficult to talk about money during a recession and the holidays, we came up with the idea of sharing the stories of some extraordinary folks who were living out the spirit of generosity within the congregation. The result were four moving documentary-style videos that were shown before each sermon. In the end, Praxis raised over $50,000 to help combat sex trafficking.
