Noel Powell's Videos

But before I had any involvement in film, I was naturally drawn to a career in the next best thing - videography. I made a couple shorts early on. They led to a job as a camera operator on a news program for a CBS affiliate. That job led to a position with Evangelical Training Association as a producer. That job led to more freelance positions in video production and editing.

I thought people might be more interested in my personal projects so I've posted them first. If you don't already have Quicktime Player installed, you will need to download it (for free) in order to view these clips. You will also need a broadband Internet connection.

	The Day - 1:51 This is a short I made about a typical day back when I was working for ETA. I never shot footage of my day past lunchtime, so leftover morning footage became night footage. I made this out of boredom. I guarantee by the end you'll wonder "What on earth did I just watch?"
	The Runner - 0:50 My co-worker and I spent a morning taping myself running in the fog. The footage was to be featured in a corporate video where physical training was used as a metaphor for training church leaders. There was so much footage, I decided to make a little movie out of it. I think I'm being chased by a monster.
	ClipSeeker promo - 3:02 A few years ago, a friend and I explored the suburbs with a video camera and the goal of starting an online stock footage company. Stock footage refers to generic video or film clips that producers can purchase for use in their video. This saves them the time, money, and hassle of shooting it themselves. Early in our footage-collection phase, I made a promo for our business. It shows some of the variety of subjects that I've shot.
	Is Christ In Our Families? - 3:44 This is a three-minute promotional video for a division of Awana Clubs International. It won a 2006 People's Choice Award as well as a First Place Judges Award for Best Spot at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention (NRB). Awana got to keep the trophy.
	Boat Show Promo - 2:04 I edited this promo piece for a production house in downtown Chicago. The purpose was to show how much publicity the NMMA's Boat Show was getting - basically to pump everyone up within the association. I edited a couple videos like this for them.
	Teaching Adults With Confidence - 3:08 This is the first three minutes of ETA's two-hour video entitled Teaching Adults With Confidence.
	Missionary-In-Training Team Report - 5:32 I have produced about 20 of these team reports for Awana over the last two years. In the MIT program, teens can go on short-term missions trips and bring the awana program to kids around the globe. When they return, I'm usually waiting to interview them on their experience.
	Hinduism - 11:50 A co-worker and I produced a two-hour long documentary on major world religions entitled The Truth About Worldviews for ETA. This segment from the video is on Hinduism. In making this documentary, we not only learned a lot about production, but we were able to visit all kinds of temples, mosques, and other places of worship and interview people of all faiths. It was an eye-opening experience.
	Train To Win! - 9:22 My co-worker and I worked together on this promo for Evangelical Training Association. It was my first corporate video experience.
