Lifeline

Wow…After about one year of working on this project, we have finally released it, and I am so excited!

Last July we stayed in the guest house while on a photo trip for the NTM@work magazine.  We had the opportunity to do a video interview with Philippa Brooks (Pip!) and then after we finished that the pilot walked right in.  Of course, we had to interview him too!

Since we didn’t visit the tribe on that trip we pulled visual images from a variety of sources: photos of Isabela from Pip and Danny, photos from a photo shoot in their village two years ago, video from NTM Aviation in the Asia Pacific region and some stock footage to help tell the story.

The first cut we did was probably 10 minutes long with a lot more information about the believers in the tribe and how the ladies helped Pip pack and things like that.  But we didn’t really have supporting images to include that in the story.  We commissioned our composer for a 5-7 minute video in November, but it wasn’t until June that we actually had the video completed.  It just needed to sit on the shelf for a bit, and we got fresh input from a local editor Jon Strong and then cut some things out, then after a meeting added some things back in but in a shorter format than original.  Then we found a Florida colorist who was able to pull all the images together and make it all look like the same place.  That was a huge blessing for this project.

With the final touches from the colorist and composer, we are finally releasing the video.  And apparently God has perfect timing as it is coinciding with a special grant for NTM Aviation.  After being up only one hour on New Tribes’ facebook page, we’ve had about 177 clicks (ok, two or three were me!) going to vote for New Tribes Mission.
