Emmanuel School Promotional Video

Promotional videos are an art in themselves; too fancy, or too cheesy or too expensive! When promoting something, it is important to keep to the basics and eliminate anything that is negative or unnecessary. Moreover, it is important to portray the truth – without giving the audience a biased viewpoint.

Hope – Save the Planet

“And Man created the plastic bag and the tin and aluminium can and the cellophane wrapper and the paper plate, and this was good because Man could then take his automobile and buy all his food in one place and He could save that which was good to eat in the refrigerator and throw away that which had no further use.  And soon the earth was covered with plastic bags and aluminium cans and paper plates and disposable bottles and there was nowhere to sit down or walk, and Man shook his head and cried:  ‘Look at this Godawful mess.'”

– Art Buchwald, 1970

Conservation is perhaps not as present in today’s society as it should be. Taught in schools and communities across the globe, the attitude of ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ is common enough. However, when it comes to putting these words into practise there is a general shortage of true concerted effort. That is not to say that a concerted effort only applies to groups of people; communities, countries and so forth, but also individuals. Without marked individual decisions there would be no collective effort, and without a collective effort there might be little to no change at all.

Christmas 2013

Christmas is a time for family and friends; a time for peace and love, to relax and spend time together. It’s a time to remember those we’ve lost and those we have the privilege of living with, those far away and those less fortunate than ourselves. It is not so much about receiving than giving; an opportunity to make someone else smile and feel loved. For some it’s about remembering the God who loves us, and what he did for us and still does today.
