WatchCompassion First “Holy Night” Promo from Allan White on Vimeo.For this promo, I’m most pleased with the intro work I did. The color grade, spare typography and haunting, echoing audio set the stage for a chilling backstory - they help girls who work the sex trade in a cemetery. If that’s not the backbone of a movie, I don’t know what is.
As with other work, the story doesn’t end there...

Dear Coach Adams →
Has an adult ever shamed you in front of others?
“You said I would never amount to anything. You called me a loser. I hope this letter finds you.”
Coaches, teachers, mentors, adults — you have power. To build or destroy. It’s hard work. If you care about kids, then it hurts when they disappoint you. You might be tempted to make them regret it.
If an adult shamed you as a kid, did it...

Typographica: Our Favorite Typefaces of 2012 →
For the font market, 2012 was a year in which burgeoning trends matured into permanent shifts.
The most obvious example of lasting change is in type for the web. Professional webfonts were available in 2011 — primarily via services hosting previously released font families — but buyers can now expect most new fonts to be issued in both desktop and web formats.
“Reader was made for absurdly ambitious readers. It’s designed for people like...”
– I miss you already, Google Reader. (via davidpierce)
I just hope something better replaces Google Reader. I’m encouraged; Google owning the space essentially stopped all innovation for 4 or 5 years. And, there’s no gradual fade, there’s a hard stop in July.
So, internets,...

I celebrate a peaceful election.
Another close election. Yet America’s civil fabric holds.
In Africa, people I spoke to were just boggled that our country, thusly split politically, goes back to work the next day, to living.
No riots. No guerrilla war or uprisings.
America was divided at birth, of two minds since the beginning. Yet, we hold together when push comes to shove. Boomers, remember 1968? Things got...

Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies. Hebrews 13:3

Luis Palau:
I would like to share my testimony. My name is Orlando S., and I am 39 years old. I was kidnapped in Colombia in August of 2010; I...

Life is a Stage Race
I’ve just wrapping the blizzard of producing & shooting an event on Atlanta, absorbing a firehose of amazing and profound speakers, musicians, artists, and tiring cross-country travel. I’m telling myself I’m not tired, and only half believing it!
Up ahead, this weekend looks to be one of our family’s busiest. I’m trying to look at it like a Tour De France race -...
