My first stop motion video. Numerous hours plotting on the phone with my friend Angie. 8 1/2 hours shooting. 5 1/2 hours arranging photos & recording audio.  From all the stress/tension of kneeling on the floor, crawling around a tripod, and being hunched over at the computer (or over my guitar), my gluteal & back muscles are sore to the point of feeling like I had an awesome workout. HA.

LoGOFF of what’s easy, log on to what’s right.
Launching New York City Urban Project’s LoGOFF—a year-long exploration into what it means Biblically and practically to live by standards of Local, Green, Organic, Fair & Free (slave free). This is the beginning of a series of videos I will post about what modern-day slavery, or human trafficking, looks like in various countries. They will be posted every 2 weeks starting next week!

Special thanks to Angie Chea for assisting in script-writing and idea/concept-bouncing!
