Sadly, I’m in a pretty bad position for collaboration. We have two types here: The city slickers, that know computers and technology, but are completely devoid of God’s word, and we have the ranchers, who thoroughly understand God’s word and are either working or reading the bible, but don’t have a clue what the internet is, other than it has something to do with bill gates.

That is, of course, an oversimplification, but it’s pretty much accurate.

Fortunately, we did meet some filmmakers at the 2004 festival, which live somewhat near our area, and at the 05 fest, we met even more filmmakers that lived much closer.

Still though, I’m just learning, and I think I’ll continue to improve on my own before I go into a much bigger production.

Oh yeah….

The Mom under the table scared me in that video…. No WONDER Father’s know everything….

Mom listens in on the conversation, repeats the information to Dad, and he interprets it.

It’s very strategic method…

;-)

God Bless!

In Christ, John.

what’s new? you guys making any new films?

Having said all this (so rudely), I’ve never made a movie except with my cheap digital camera, and I’ve certainly never had actors or a story line. It sounds like you filmed and edited the whole flick in a relatively short amount of time, and you are certainly to be commended for that. Keep up the good work. This whole Christian filming movement is starting to take off, and everyone who contributes is essential.

The message of Save The Wheel dot Com is that some things simply do not need to be reinvented. The “wheel” is the paradigmatic example of such a thing, but in this case, serves only to symbolize something much more important. Some of the things our readers have theorized as being the “meaning behind the wheel” are “truth,” “the gospel,” etc… More recently, those behind the site have revealed the website’s ties to the New Attitude Conference, a Christian singles conference put on by Sovereign Grace Ministries.

Because of this, the message of the film was simply that reinventing some things is just a bad idea. The thing we chose to demonstrate this was the dinner table. Not only is eating food from the chair while sitting on the table awkward and messy, but it also detracts from fellowship among the family. Because it was posted in the context of a site that many of our readers are already familiar, perhaps we failed to make it as clear as was necessary.

Regarding the quality of the film. I agree with all your observations. Those things would most likely have been fixed with more than 45 minutes post-production, but your points remain valid.

Thank you for the constructive criticism. God bless!
