Last week, a young man by the name of Emil Haroutunian approached me and asked if I could help make a video that might possibly change his life. With that kind of approach, he certainly had my attention. Over a brief meeting at Coffee Bean, he explained his dreams of going to a Theology school that would help him develop a nice balance between knowledge and practicality.
He then shared with me about an opportunity that he had just learned about. Eternity Bible College was holding a contest where they asked participants to create a 4-minute video talking about who they were before Christ, how He changed their life, and why they want to attend the school.
The Youtube Video with the most "LIKES" would win an entire year of tuition absolutely FREE.
The launch date was a week earlier and the deadline was fast approaching, so we had no time to waste.
DAY 1 - We drove to Santa Monica and filmed some B-roll on the pier, then on the beach and even captured some candid moments in the Farmer's Market crowd.
DAY 2 - The following day, I filmed Emil playing in the worship band before teaching a short lesson to the Jr High Kids and High school students. Now, all that was missing was his testimonial. Luckily, with Armen's help, we accessed the church library and used it as a symbolic setting to talk about visions of academia.
DAY 3 - Back to work, I edited an hour's worth of footage and condensed it into 4 minutes.
The video was completed and uploaded at 6PM today and it already has 140 LIKES, just 4 1/2 hours later. By Wednesday, it will have accumulated 1264 views and 268 LIKES.
I pray that Emil has a blessed journey and that he gets all the likes needed to get into Eternity Bible School.
