Behold the Dreamer Cometh

My friend Blaine is the Experience Engineer out at Willow Creek (what a cool title, huh?) and he and his team put together a phenomenal piece called Behold the Dreamer Cometh for the opening of the Willow Creek Arts Conference back in June.

I was so excited when Blaine posted a blog entry about the process behind it as well as a link to the video.

If you are an artist or creative-type, take a few minutes to watch this video.

This piece did an excellent job highlighting the creative process and the struggle we all face to find inspiration and new ideas and thoughts in our constant struggle to give glory to God in what we do with our art… whether it’s with words, images, video, song, etc.

I was totally moved by it experiencing it live, and you’ll get the same feeling as you watch it here:

Pretty awesome, huh?

    I love it! I also love that he uses my denomination's BCP at the end :) I'm going to check Blaine's blog — but I wanna download/buy the music used during the "inspiration" part — maybe dancing around the office will help me the next time I am stuck!
