Episode 3 On this episode of the Your Visuals Matter Podcast, we will find out what a former Disney animator thinks about quality custom visuals for churches. We're talking today with special guest, Davy Liu. Carl spent time interviewing Davy at the KidzMatter Conference. Davy and his family immigrated from Taiwan to the U.S. when he was 13 years old. He found solace in the arts and graduated from Ringling School of Arts and Design in Florida. After that, he became an animator for the Walt Disney Company, recruited by them in 1988. He worked on classic films like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, and The Lion King. During this interview, Davy shares insights on why the Church should create custom media and the importance of quality in media production and good storytelling. He explains that churches struggle to prioritize quality visuals - they rely too much on preaching instead of storytelling through visuals like Jesus did with parables. He also reminds listeners that investing in high-quality visuals is crucial because people learn best visually. And a well thought out visual story, is much more memorable, than a plain sermon. However, he ultimately lamented that churches often settle for volunteer-level quality due to budget constraints. Paying for skill, however shows in the end product. Finally, Davy describes his work since leaving Disney in 2000, creating illustrated books and developing an animated Bible film with former Disney directors.

Episode 16 Welcome to the latest episode of Your Visuals Matter. We're delving into how to use Service Openers and Mini-Movies.

Furthermore, we discuss the legal avenues for sourcing such content and stress the importance of collaborating with visual content specialists. Together, we unravel the profound impact of visuals in conveying the gospel message, exploring the synergy between sound, music, and storytelling in visual narratives. Tune in for invaluable insights into maximizing the impact of Openers and Mini-Movies in your church services. Takeaways Plan and script videos to align with the overall message and tone of the service. Keep mini movies and service openers to a length of 1-3 minutes, and sermon bumpers to 30-60 seconds. Use a variety of video types to keep the audience engaged and avoid desensitization. Harness the power of storytelling to allow the audience to place themselves in the story and connect with the message. Utilize music and sound effects to set the tone and enhance the impact of the videos. Sound and music can enhance the storytelling experience and transport the audience into the world of the narrative. When using visuals for church platforms, it is important to find mini movies and openers legally to avoid copyright issues. Collaborating with visual content companies like Igniter and Church Visuals can provide churches with high-quality and legally licensed visuals. Visuals play a crucial role in communicating the gospel by creating memorable and impactful stories.
