I have ordered the book. Can't wait to read it! David, you are lighting a fire in our hearts as fellow believers. Something does have to change! - Cindy in Charlotte, NC
As a fellow video maker I just wanna share how this film makes me feel and some of my observations, with an intention to build up brother/sister in Christ. It's very encouraging to have brothers and sisters using creative media as vessel for the Kingdom. Praise God for your talents. The shots are beautifully taken and the extend you guys went was far and beyond most of us would go. I respect that. Just one thing about this film... it's technically marvelous, but not impactful to my heart. Let's talk about heart. David Platt gave some of the most impactful sermons I've ever heard, but in this video I feel like I'm being fed some information, and not so much the heart of God. His talking heads felt kinda off. The ending part felt a bit like a forced hype for the "hope" David was talking about, especially with the upbeat music. It felt like the ministry announcement video you'd see at a mega church. It's decorative but not affectionate. The shots are beautiful, but with so many closeups it gets a bit distracting. CU are great for guiding attention to specific details, but when the details don't connect to the message well enough it turns into distraction. This quick cut shallow DoF CU B roll method is great for commercial work because it saves time. They're quick to take, easy to use shots. Honestly wide shots are not easy to take and to use, CUs can be thrown in almost anywhere and still sort of work. But when it comes to this kind of work where you wanna be shifting people's heart/paradigm, it's important to be really focus. Focus meaning it has to guide us into seeing the heart of God for these people, not an overview of their condition or tiny trivial details. For instance, we don't really see interactions with the local people there, it's hard to sense anything for them. You want audiences' heart break because they sense God's love for these people. It can't happen if they receive an overall empathy to the tragedies happening there. Because both God's love and wrath are the same in whatever circumstances they're in. We need to help people focus on the fact that all these tragedies are a shadow of the spiritual reality, the absence of Jesus in their lives. At the bottom of it is whether the people behind the camera receives it first. (this is also my own reflection when making contents) Do I love these people as Jesus loves them? I don't always leave CZcams comment seriously, but I am also learning and this is a way for myself to reflect and process. Here's me talking to myself: if I'm not willing to die for these souls' salvation, my video about them won't show the dedication for them, hence can't inspire others to have it. I gotta be a missionary to make a video that calls others to become missionaries.
Not sure about all the video tips, but interesting ideas you have. I had read the book first...then watched this so I probably filled in a lot of the blanks myself. I have been to Nepal and worked with Christians there. Just thought I'd point out that in Nepal Christians are regularly beaten and persecuted for their faith...they are considered BELOW the lowest caste of society. This may be one reason that David Platt chose to not show their faces...yes, we're left wishing we could see more but for the safety of believers he likely chose to leave that out. In Nepal you are thrown in jail if you speak the name of Jesus in any sacred site (David Platt took great risk filming in at the burial site because even foreigners will get thrown into jail with little chance of bail). I was at the same burning site David Platt was and we were strictly warned by the local pastor that if the name of Jesus was heard from our lips there we would be thrown in prison and he would not be able to help us. We had to choose carefully and safely where we preached Christ so that we and the people risking their lives to come hear were not at risk. David's book on it is amazing...not everything has to be communicated visually. A book is a better way with this culture because of the risk you potentially put believers in by filming them.
Can I ask an honest question? Considering the status of the UPGs where there is no witness, how can you remain in the US where access to the gospel is everywhere? I don’t ask this with a judging spirit, but honestly ask, why stay in the US?
Because we take our peace and security for granted without realizing how much people suffer in other parts of the world. If people like Platt go there and experience it they can come back and show just how privileged we are and hopefully that would light a fire in us to go and help those who don't have it like we do.
LORD use us to make a difference in a world of urgent need. Use us to make your Grace and Glory known wherever we are.

Love it!!
this video is so well done!

Someone has to mobilize the US believers to go!
Because we take our peace and security for granted without realizing how much people suffer in other parts of the world.
