Post production. An interesting mix of feelings is aroused at the mention of this word. Post Production is the phase of the project in which our team sorts footage gathered, edits footage, makes the footage look good, and then polishes the footage to perfection. In one sense, a great battle is over and there is a feeling of victory. In another sense, technical and tedious work is before the team and, every now and then, boredom and drudgery are just as powerful enemies as physical danger and exhaustion on the streets. Of course, the thought of our fellowship breaking is completely heart wrenching and I can’t think about that right now..
Most of the Post Production work is being done in a room at the Dickson house which the team has affectionately termed “the White Room of Doom”. At the end of the day, a soft bed and dreams is all our minds can focus on. Eight desktops and laptops run constantly, and the silence of creative minds churning to create is interestingly loud.
Days like today seem like they have been few and far between. Days like this Sunday, when there is some work to be done, but everything is relaxed and there is time to think, these days I love.
I think part of me has fallen in love with this lifestyle of chasing and fighting for a goal along side brothers and sisters of the same heart. It is so strengthening to be a slave to righteousness if the slaves surrounding you work with the same heart, toward the same goal. This is the picture I see when I look at my teammates. I love this! This manifestation of God’s children being the church is beautiful to me.
Today is a good day. This life is a great battle. Our God is a Mighty God.
