Christian Music Video Production

Most people rarely get a chance to see what Christian music video production is all about.

The reason why is gospel music is still in a tight little confined box.

I personally watched 4 Christian videos the other day and almost fell asleep.

The sad thing about that is I actually like Gospel music.

Fred Hammond's "Pages of Life" double disc CD is my favorite in the entire world.

That's not a stretch either.

So what's going on then? Why are these production videos so whack? You mean to tell me God people can't do a better job than this?

WWJD? Exactly! What would Jesus do? Media is about entertainment and unfortunately the Christian community does not get it.

Nobody wants to see you in a video that you shot on stage at your church or at T.D. Jakes church. I see that every Sunday at my church before and after worship.

Just because your videos have to be more family friendly doesn't mean you have to be boring. The production of these vids are garbage and they make the songs which are very good look so BAD.

Outside of Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary or Yolanda Adams no one knows what's going on. The only reason the above artist are doing well is because they are a little more contemporary. Someone in their camps is trying very hard to school them on today's media.

Remember, this is the day and age of You Tube, Brightcove, AOL Video, Imeem and Daily Motion.
