Creating THIS Visual Album

The Ones He Gave, an album about church hurt by Jonathan Solomon, was released on September 15, 2023. Back when he first started working on the album, we started planning the video. Over the next several months, we went back and forth with ideas, shot the interviews and footage for each song, and worked on turning it all into a full visual album. When it was finished, it was shown at two different listening parties where we got to watch it with over a hundred friends and supporters. It was very special….

Why AI Will Never Fully Replace Human Videographers

In a world where AI is making waves in every industry, some might question whether human videographers are still relevant. But here are some examples of how AI will never be able to replace the unique qualities and creativity brought by human videographers:

1. Artistic Vision and Creative Flair: AI can't match the artistic vision and creativity of humans.

• Takes less time both to shoot and to edit

• Requires exact scripts, which hinders storytelling

• Some interviewees can sound robotic when reading from a script…
