One Man, Brilliance and a Shower

Building a new idea isn't easy in and of itself but making an idea reality is especially difficult, if not impossible when your resources are quite limited. When it's one's desire to shoot a video with a gospel message with yourself and a camera, one must go beyond simply putting props together and taking pictures of them in creating something worth being called a masterpiece. Did I say masterpiece? Actually no, because I wrote it and you read it....but to create a masterpiece of video creativity when you are physically alone, well...it probably can't be done---that is, without outside assistance. Yes I said assistance--help from the outside world. I never use that word, assistance, in eveyday speech, but somehow, for some reason it sounds so.....sophisticated....awww....something about the writing of big words. Ok...back to creating a masterpiece of vision--with assistance.
Some things are already in place to create such a work of mastery. That is, the scene is already in place as God has created it. Clouds for example will do nicely for a backdrop before a short pan of the horizon and over to some hills in opening our scene. I see a horse or maybe two horses gently descending over a distant hill but once again.....this can't be because where are we going to get some horses? Ideally, one would need em trained to come over that hill and toward the camera without getting spooked by all the migratory birds that would suddenly enter the picture overhead at precisely the moment when the horses enter midway into the frame. Hmmm....how about computer generated birds.....computer generated horses.
Perhaps a nice touch as soon as I can generate a computer to generate some money for this big budget video masterpiece!
I think there must be a simpler way....aha! I think I know one.....but my guess is, it won't become a masterpiece. I'll get back to you on that, when I first think of a better idea for a gospel video involving some beautiful scenery, a man and a really good camera. Call me crazy, but do I smell brilliance in the making or do I just need to take a shower?
Be right back.
