The
Power Of Parables
Jesus,
being the most brilliant, gifted, and effective teacher in the history
of this world used a very simple, enjoyable, and effective form of teaching.
When he wanted people to grasp an important idea or concept in their
hearts He would use parables. Since Jesus used parables so frequently
wouldn't it be a great idea to adopt His method in the goal of sharing
Him with our family, friends, and neighbors?
This
is the premise behind "The Choice." It is a parable that illustrates
the gospel through a dramatic cinematic portrayal. It takes the viewers
mind on an emotional journey where they are easily able to relate to
the characters in the story. They are able to experience the joy and
pain through the characters and when the story is complete they can
thus better understand the Biblical principle or point that is being
shared.
The
synopsis of the story is located below. Please take a few moments to
read this modern day parable so that you can best understand the goal
behind this project. (It takes approximately 10 minutes to read.)
If you would like to support this project please continue to review
the complete information found on this page. Thank you for your time.
We realize there seems to be less and less of it these days.

What
Is Meant By The Expression "Hollywood Quality"?
The
movie industry, primarily based in "Hollywood" has had an entire
century and billions of dollars to perfect their formula for the movies
that are produced there. The Hollywood movie production technique has
been designed to have maximum emotional appeal; so much so that even with
less than desirable content, the world is still spell bound by the movies
that flood our global society. What if the Hollywood technique, which
includes the best cameras, sound design, actors, visual effects, etc.
were to be matched up with the amazing stories of the Bible?
It
would be a foolish waste of time to try to "reinvent the wheel."
We do not have 100 years and billions of dollars to try to reinvent the
technical aspects of film making. Hollywood has already accomplished that!
God is the creator of all technologies and the intelligent thing to do
is match up these techniques with the content of God's Word. In doing
this the power of the parable would go from a principled story to a powerful
multi sensory experience and would thus afford many more people the opportunity
to know the goodness, mercy, and compassion of their Creator.
To
the right is a short clip from an official Hollywood movie entitled "Knowing."
This movie was produced with one of the highest resolution cameras in
the world known as the "RED." Pay close attention to the technical
aspects of the clip; the lighting, the ultra sharp resolution, the crisp
sound design, the musical score, and the subtle, believable acting. Every
detail is carefully planned and implemented with great precision in order
to draw the viewer into the story. When it comes to emotional appeal,
everything matters! The higher the emotional appeal the more profoundly
the story appeals to the viewers heart!
"The
Choice" will be produced using the "RED" camera: the exact
same camera used to film "Knowing." As well the sound design,
lighting, acting, visual effects, musical score, and all other technical
aspects of "The Choice" will be of the same quality as what
is seen and heard in this clip. This clip is an example simply to illustrate
what is meant by the term "Hollywood technique" and to provide
a reference point in understanding what the production quality of "The
Choice" will be.
