Be Part of our Online Worship
Be in our Christmas music video
VIDEO DUE Dec 2nd (or sooner)
We really love having kids be a part of worship! If your kids would like to be included in the video for December 20th, please read on and follow the instructions below.
An Example
Here is an example of a previous worship video. We will take the videos submitted and chop them up so that every one can be a part. Your child can do just the chorus or the entire song. Use the motion demonstration video above.
Instructions
1. Shoot your video
-
Practice first. (Demo above)
-
Record in portrait mode (phone upright, taller than wide) a video of your kiddo doing the motions to the song.
-
If they can sing along with the song while they dance, that’s great, not required!
-
Keep camera steady as much as possible (using a stand or propping the camera up on a stable surface is very helpful)
-
Make sure there is more light shining on their face than behind them.
-
Wear winter clothes.
-
Shoot in front of a plain background.
-
Smile! Have fun!
NOTE We would love it if your child could record the full song, but that may be difficult for younger children. At the very least we would like them to perform the chorus.
