Recent Film/Video Inspiration

Written By Andrew Hoffman

I’ve been doing research for a film series for NeighborLink since December around the concepts of what it means to be a good neighbor. I’ve gone from an 8-month leadership series to a 10 part video series and now to a 5 part series. 

I’ve talked to really high dollar film makers all the way down to graduating college students for this series, and I’ve seen some pretty great stuff. I know I’ve only seen an extremely small percentage of great stuff too. My decision on who to hire is becoming quite difficult.

The DSLR camera is revolutionizing the industry due to quality of video for a price that is accessible to anyone passionate enough to invest in. For $10,000, you can have more than enough essential gear to get started. However, equipment only won’t make great films. It still takes creativity, experience, technical understanding, and a vision to tell the story that needs told. 

Here are several films/videos that have stood out to me during my research. There are many, many more that are influencing this series. 

Baas Creative - Compassion International

Fancy Rhino - Charles Clay Needs Your Help

Maust Creative - Our Story

Dot & Cross - Basic. Prayer
