Movies produced by current Christian filmmakers suffer from at least one of two common disorders. Either they are in ideological conformity with the world or they have poor production quality.
Starting today, Christian filmmaking need no longer suffer from these disorders. Vision Forum’s new DVD set “From Script to Cinema” lays a foundation for developing the Biblical worldview and technical skills necessary for effective Christian filmmaking. Never before has such a comprehensive collection of information on Christian filmmaking been compiled. As its name suggests, From Script to Cinema takes film students on a panoramic ride from the techniques of story-writing to the tricks of film distribution.
Experienced Christian filmmakers introduce students to the Biblical principles important for making God-honoring films and the various skill sets necessary for making aesthetically pleasing movies. Students will learn why “casting down imaginations” is a prerequisite to good filmmaking and effective storytelling. Students will also learn arts of the trade such as how to write a treatment for a movie, plan a production schedule, animate a CG short, light a scene, and operate a camera. But that’s not all. On top of that, students will enjoy success stories in movie-making, instruction in legal issues for copyright and trademarks, and secrets for winning the SAICFF Jubilee Award.
And now, one of the instructors from this valuable series has released a companion resource. Isaac Botkin’s long-anticipated book Outside Hollywood will keep eager Christian filmmaking students flipping the pages. Isaac begins by calling Christian moviemakers to maturity in their craft. The following chapters reveal the story behind the birth and early success of Hollywood, and how militant Marxists and humanists from the Frankfurt School infected Hollywood with its anti-Christian, anti-family philosophies. Isaac unveils the secrets to combating these false ideas with Biblical and beautiful filmmaking. Outside Hollywood is not just a great one-time read; it’s a reference you will commonly consult.
From Script to Cinema and Outside Hollywood are “must-have” resources for Christians pursuing cinematic cultural leadership for God’s glory. For a limited time, get these two assets bundled together for a discounted price.
