Seven reasons to allow Open Theism

Any comments would be appreciated. TKX.

I'll leave comments on the content to others, and concentrate on your production values. Paul, I'm sorry, but this isn't going to be especially complimentary. Your videos are god-awful.

First, you need to get out from in front of the camera. If you're going to use video, use video. Create graphics and animated sequences to illustrate your points and to guide and attract viewer interest. Hand gestures, barely visible within camera range from your seated position, are no substitute. Assuming you're not among the enlightened (obligatory Mac obeisance), Windows Movie Maker is free. Learn how to use it. Alternatively, if you're on a Mac, I recommend ScreenFlow. I tried out about a dozen before settling on it.

Next, create a script, and break it up into scenes. You've got ten minutes for any video you create for youtube, which is enough time for five or more. Use the transitions to renew interest as you move along. Begin with an introduction, and end with a summary conclusion.

As ever, Jesse

Thanks for the suggestions. Content was my # 1 concern. Love the multiple scene suggestions. Wanted to emphasize the "uncanned" nature of my message. I was inspired to write the 7-point outline at 6:00 am on labor day, and shot the videos later that same morning. Each video was a "single take", shot in consecutive order (1 through 7), with no rehearsing, no edits, no re-dos. I felt that was the best way to project the deep sincerity that this message was born from. These were straight from my heart, and ultimately what I believe to be, "straight from the Lord" in an inspirational/leading sense.

If I have opportunity someday, I myself or maybe someone else might do the polished "hollywood" version. ;-)

Blessings in Christ
