God’s Punk Rock Kids: A Musical Journey

admin — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 16:25:45 +0000

My experience playing music began with the bass guitar at the young age of 13, guitar a little later and finally, singing in a church choir and leaning piano for the last year. My life journey and thankfulness for how the Lord has saved me from myself inspired me to write this song, God’s Punk Rock Kids. I used some awesome Apple drum loops, tweaked them a little bit in GarageBand, and finally recorded all of the bass, guitar and vocal tracks. I also exported a version without vocals called “Emo Punk Kids” for stock music licensing on Pond5.

Here’s a link to the track on Spotify:

Video on a Budget: iPhone and Adobe Premiere

I recently had to shoot and edit a video for the Ellis County Outdoorsman Church with just an iPhone and a DJI Osmo V Gimbal, and with a quick turnaround at that. Interviews were conducted with no external microphone, just phone audio, so I had to choose a quiet back-room and get the phone close to the subject in order to reduce background noise. Amazing what can be done with so few elements. Editing/GFX were done in Premiere Pro.

Using Instagram Reels

The increasing popularity of TikTok and Instagram Reels make them perfect platforms for promoting a ministry. This is due to several factors.

First of all, you can engage with a lot of people. That means you could potentially reach millions of people with very little investment. This kind of reach was unheard of just 15 years ago, when you had to spend a few thousand dollars on television and print advertising to reach the same amount of eyeballs.

Second, there’s a quick delivery. In the example above, we shot a video of a newly built church steeple and edited it for social media. The entire process took about 4 hours from shooting to posting.

Third, it allows for active participation from your audience. Social media is designed to be fun and entertaining. Viewers can like your post and write comments. This builds community and connection.
