A friend of mine, Brian Elliott, ran 210 miles across the state of Minnesota in 9 days.  I had the chance to help out for a few days and even run the last several miles with him to the Wisconsin border.  With me, were my 7D, Tokina 11-16mm, and car mount, so I threw together a short promo showing what this Venture Expeditions alumnus was up to.

I have been asked to travel to Scotland next week and help document the Jason Harms Quintet as they travel through the country playing numerous gigs with an aim to “come alongside the local church and serve them in serving their people the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Andrew Laparra (the other videographer going on the trip) and I shot the following promo video to help give a better idea of what we hope to do in Scotland.
If you have any interest in learning more about the band or the trip or would like to help with the cost of the trip, you can visit jasonharms.com or email me at: tristan@sulvaproductions.com

A few months ago, Sovereign Grace Ministries contacted us about developing a creative promo video for their upcoming conference, NEXT 2011.   They were wonderful to work with and gave us almost completely unfettered creative control.
After a number of conversations, Jeremiah and I met in Southern California to shoot a series of timelapse and video segments with the talented Ellison Rounds in and around Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, and Downtown Los Angeles.
A few weeks later, we ended up with the following video.

For those interested, we used a Canon 7D, Panasonic GH1, and an assortment of lenses – with Canon’s 60mm f/2.8 macro getting the most playtime.

Earlier this year, at their Pastor’s Colloquium in Deerfield, Illinois, I had the opportunity to shoot a series of videos for The Gospel Coalition alongside Marty McAlpine and Andrew Laparra, with Lukas Naugle producing.
It was a great experience and I’m really happy with how the videos turned out – thanks in large part to Edd Blott‘s editing and grading.
You can find the full videos on TGC’s YouTube Channel.

Another typography video, this time with the help of a great illustrator, Drew Blom.

Shot with a Canon 7D and a Sigma 30mm f/1.4, half at 1080p video, half as a 5k timelapse.

Head over to the Desiring God event page for more information on this conference.

Early this year, I entered a video in a contest promoting Josh Harris‘ new book, Dug Down Deep

… and won!  Check out the video below, featuring music by my good friends Ask You in Gray.

And though I may be biased, I really do recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

I recently had the opportunity to direct and edit this short film for a pastors’ conference held by Desiring God Ministries in Minneapolis.

The quote is from C.S. Lewis’ address, “The Weight of Glory“.

Thanks for watching.
