Nativity Planning!

Last Sunday we had a meeting to discuss ideas for this year's presentation. It went well. Now everyone is busy getting costumes ready for their part in the performance and planning the technical end of things.

Live Nativity DVD now available!

It is finally here! This DVD was compiled from some of the rough footage that was taken during last years presentation.

For those of you who would like to purchase your own copy, click this link: http://livenativity2008.blogspot.com/2009/05/dvd-coming-soon.html for order info.

Live Nativity 2008 DVD progress!

I have been working on the Live Nativity DVD in between my busy schedule. It is getting near completion. The main footage is all put together and complete. I would say that the DVD is three quarters of the way done. Hopefully it will be complete (at the latest) by the end of next month.

The Live Nativity.

Here is a picture of myself in my roman costume during the live nativity.

I got pretty sore from wearing it everywhere and trying to direct the presentation. It is pretty heavy.

Both nights of the Live Nativity went well. I think all together we had somewhere around 130 people attend.

Finished Nativity Poster!

I finished the poster for the Live Nativity, so now all we have to do is get it printed and distributed around. I just sent it to the printer. Here is the finished product as promised!


The soundtrack is coming along pretty well. All of the voices have been recorded. I only have about three more pieces of music to put together.

The soundtrack needs to be completed by this Sunday, which is our first rehearsal.

Busy, busy!

Things are getting very busy around here as the days begin to count down for the Live Nativity.
I have been composing new music for the soundtrack and that eats up a lot of time.

Last night we recorded a song at the Moore's. We will use this piece before the actual presentation.

Designing a poster for this year's live nativity!

I have been designing a advertisement poster for the live nativity. Yesterday afternoon I created rough a concept painting to give me an idea of what I am looking for.

This is the concept design, and below is the rough design that I did this afternoon in Photo shop.

After creating a idea of what I think will work, I'll fine tune the final design with some different images and lighting. I must say, I am pretty happy with the results of my first project in Photo Shop. I will post the final result when I finish it.

Scrolls for this year's Live Nativity!

I have been busy today, creating a blog for this years live nativity and aging some scrolls that I made a few weeks ago. They are for the roman tax collector's booth. Below is a picture of the scrolls before and after I did color changes.

This is a box that I painted last week to sell at the Brandon Artist's Guild. This is the third small box that I have done. The others sold very quickly.

I called it, "The Green Banks of Summer".

Live Nativity!

Last December we put on a live nativity for our community. We are hoping to do the same again this year. This is, kind of a mini trailer I put together using some of last years production footage.
We are starting to get things ready for this years live nativity. I will post more info on our progress as things come together. For more info and pictures click this link: http://www.livenativity2008.blogspot.com/ I apologize for the poor quality of the video.
