This is yet another example of how I've used media tech in a parish setting. This time we are at a Youth Retreat at Camp Wapo. These are high school age kids who, after the bible study, were given the task of creating a video that expresses what they thought was the most important message they got from the bible study. The kids were split up into four groups. Each group had to write, direct, and perform in their own video. The only thing we required was they had to have a cartwheel in the video somewhere. The videos were shot and edited over the weekend and then shown at church the following Sunday. The videos came out great. They were very creative and the kids had a blast. This is one of the videos:
Tony,
ReplyDeleteNow I understand more how you use your video background in ministry. I watched all the videos, and I can see how it is useful to get kids to work together to produce a segment that expresses themselves and what they have learned. I can't help but think about all the sharing of thoughts and faith that occurs in the making of these films. It is a great ministry.
Great video - was it in one of the books we read that the author wrote about "giving the kids a video camera and see what happens!" Well, there was definitely something happening at this youth retreat - thanks for sharing!
