Rachel's Viewfinder

My art is my life. It’s often said that art is about art for art’s sake. Yet I create with a medium that has a message. As a believer, the message is the same: “repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.” My art exists to put flesh to “the Word was with God and the Word was God.” Everything is about relating the message, “the Kingdom of Heaven is near,” through art, life, practice and expression. I desire to engage other Christian artists in living out the Great Commission through the arts. Join me in this declaration of the Father's love!

Who I Follow

I flew a plane across the globe today! Lately, I’ve been studying Motion Design. While my forays into the art form have been simple (re, flying text for missionary videos), I’m excited by the possibilities that Motion Design offers the video-producer.

This little video is nothing more than another of my attempts at Motion Design. We will be praying for Zimbabwe tomorrow morning, but I wanted to talk about our recent trip to Thailand. A cute little image of an airplane flying across the screen seemed an appropriate transition.

I’m pleased with the outcome of this piece. I cobbled together some vector images I found online, but in the future, I’d like to create animations like this from the ground up, creating everything from scratch. Tools used were Photoshop and Motion.
