Made To Stick

doug@onemission.tv — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 18:07:00 GMT

I just finished reading a book called “Made to Stick”. It tries to explain why some ideas survive and some die. And smack dab in the middle of it is...

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Some have said, “there’s nothing new under the sun”, but for us at oneMISSIONtv that has not been true this summer. And hopefully, we never get to the point where we stop learning or stop experiencing new things...

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

doug@onemission.tv — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:52:00 GMT

The main thing we learned was that our boat needed to be big enough to include the messages that pastors wanted to deliver. If our vision could deliver their vision then we could catch that shark...

Some Can Tell Them, Some Can't

doug@onemission.tv — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:09:00 GMT

In video, how we tell the story can be just as important as the story we tell. If the technical quality is so poor, or the writing is scrambled, or the editing technique too sloppy...

A Story Worth Telling

doug@onemission.tv — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:41:00 GMT

I don’t know how many story idea meetings I have sat through where every criteria was matched up except whether they were a good story. Just because we can tell a story in video, doesn’t mean we should. Because even if they have a compelling story, they still need to be able to tell that story in a compelling way. That instructor looked for...

The Greatest Story Ever Told!

doug@onemission.tv — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:07:00 GMT

It’s a bit of a cliché, but lets face it, it is the greatest story ever told. Think about it. A 15-year old virgin becomes pregnant and is told by a heavenly being that she is carrying the God of the Past, Present and Future. When the child is born, shepherds and kings show up, and then the entire family is forced to flee to another country. He grows up to take away the sin of the world. Think of what that movie trailer guy could...

Concept is King for Interesting and Effective Video Production

doug@onemission.tv — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:15:00 GMT

One major factor for great video is having a well planned and creative driving concept. When the concept is solid, everything else flows around it and just seems to fall in place. It’s a tremendously important aspect of video production that will...

We all love a good story!

doug@onemission.tv — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:17:00 GMT

Last week I attended a meeting in Clinton, Mississippi with media directors from several state Baptist conventions. We’ve provided video production and web video hosting services for most of them. I’ve known these guys for quite a few years now and it never ceases to amaze me how committed they are to what they do. We discussed topics from video production equipment to social networking to video delivery methods to production processes and techniques. But in the midst of all of the topics we covered, there seemed to be one common thread…

What's in a name?

doug@onemission.tv — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:46:00 GMT

We actually launched oneMISSION two years ago. We saw a void in a web presence where ministries could share videos that they may not be selling. www.oneMISSION.tv is that vehicle. But this year, we realized that oneMISSION.tv is also our calling. It was not just a cool name that we came up with in a pinch, but it was the name that summed up what we wanted to be about as a company. So here it is...
