Acharai: One Year Ago!

It was 1 year ago this week that I embarked on an inspiring trip to South Africa and Israel with a group of 25 amazing students.  My role was to document their experience. This is the 2-minute introduction to the documentary!

Check out the brand new promotional trailer for Imagination Creations!This concept had been brewing in my imagination even since releasing my After Effects Handwriting Tutorial back in January.

After a great brainstorming session with my wife over Chinese food, our plan was set!

Post-production was the real challenge for this project. Getting a 4-year old to blow 20 paper letters off a table and out the window is no easy task. Enter After-Effects, Mocha and a lot of patience.

By motion tracking the camera movement from an empty table to the window, I was able to digitally insert all the letters onto the table and have them be blown away out of the window and into the forest!

Acharai: A multimedia success!

IMG_1710-copy.jpg

Wow! I just returned from Acharai // After Me, a 3 week adventure, traveling through South Africa and Israel on a social action mission with 25 motivated students and 1 inspirational Rabbi. My job was to document the journey through photo and video in order to promote what we were doing to the community back home as to the greater community of the world. I was posting photo albums and video edits to Facebook regularly and our subscriptions increases healthily throughout the course of our travels. Filming and shoot all day in the hot sun, and editing all night, made for many very long hours, but the results were well worth it.

Everything was shot on location with my Canon 60D and Tamrom 24-70 VC lens, using a Rode Videomic Pro. In addition to all the filming, photography and editing, I managed our Facebook portal so our friends, family and supporters back home could track our every step!

Have a look at all that we accomplished in the 8 videos below! These were all edited on location! Or click here to check out all of the photos, HD videos and blog posts on our Acharai page!

4 cameras rolling, 3 interesting guests, 2 amazing co-hosts, 1 great night!4 cameras rolling, 3 interesting guests, 2 amazing co-hosts, 1 great night! Dave Kaufman, host of "The Kaufman Show" on TSN Radio 990, wanted to take his weekly audio podcast to the next level. Our solution was to setup 4 cameras in studio, add some slick graphics and a rockin' opening! (thanks to Arkells for the great track)

Check out the March 19th edition of "The Kaufman Show" featuring Patrick Burke from You Can Play, Nicolas Macrozonaris, a 2-time Canadian Olympian, and a great toe-tapping music set from The Jimmyriggers.
