My Homage to Sesame Street

For about two years I have been formally in charge of the “Media & Communications Ministry” at Meridian Woods Church of Christ. And for a few months before that, I was putting together videos unofficially. It’s been a good experience and I’ve had fun doing it.

However, it takes a lot of time to put these together. Between the writing, wrangling, shooting, capturing, editing, exporting and uploading, I can spend hours on a project that maybe only has a final run time of three minutes. And in light of the upcoming arrival of my second child, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s time, at the very least, for me to take a break from this. So, I informed the church leadership that I am resigning as deacon over this ministry effective November 2. They had already asked me to put together videos promoting “Freedom Sunday” (a day in which they are hoping to raise the remaining funds needed to pay off the mortgage on the church building), so this series will be my last set of videos for Meridian Woods for the foreseeable future.

It took me some time to figure out what I wanted to do with these, but being my last ones, I decided to take this opportunity to do a couple things I’ve long been wanting to do. In this week’s video, I put together my homage to Sesame Street. This video features Ralph Whatnot and fellow member Kime Landes.

Next week, I’ll post the second video which is also is an homage to one of my favorite things ever. It’s a fun one as well and has gotten some good reactions so far from the people I’ve shown it to. I look forward to sharing it here.

The following three videos were produced to promote the “Hungry Bear” program at church.
