"If We are the Body" is a music video I recently choreographed, directed, and edited for my churches worship team. This was actually the first music video I have ever created. We put about 80 hours into creating it, and are very happy with the end result. This song is a cover of the original song by Casting Crowns and delivers a strong message about acceptance at church. The song is performed by The Rocks worship team led by J.J. Plew. Hope you all enjoy it.

Note: This isn't some compilition or collage of non-related images that some like to put together and call a music video. This is all actual footage of the band performing in diffent setting as well as footage shot to represent the story being told. This is also a Christian music video, so I politely ask that anyone with anti-Christian sentiments please respect it for what it is.

It was shot on a Panasonic DVX100a (although the compression we used doesnt' do it justice), and all the audio engineering was done at my friends recording studio. This video also is my first editing debut. Usually I just write & direct

**NOTE: This video does not reflect the overall religious sentiments of Unified Studio Productions. Not all of us at unified studios hold the same religious beliefs. We do, though, hold the same belief in producing the best possible short and feature films possible. Rock Star Productions is my alias used for church. Thanks for viewing.

Anyone making fondu? coz i smell cheeeeeeeeeeeze I have to say out of all the Christian rock videos i have watched in the past 5 minets, that was the best....However, Not ever seeing a video like that gives me little grounds to comment , so ill comment from a director/quality standpoint. It would be ver very easy to use FXhome products to make that better than it was, i almost feel like grading it for you! the colours were dull and lifeless, the people looked bored and sedate (church heh) and overall the most interesting part was the opening logo. The green text looked cheap, however if you were going for a "sing along style id suggest you simply have a white subtitle with black outline flash up and flash off... simple, no fuss. overall a good effort, and as far as bible songs go i have to say yours was very bearable. Kudos

Bryce: corny eh? lol. Yeah, it is a bit "corny". I was actually going for "light-hearted and fun," but corny works too in a different sort of sense. Fxhomer5886: I appreciate the feedback. Not having 40 years of experience in recording music though, comes to my disadvantage as this was my first time creating a music video. The sound level being a tad low is more my fault than the sound engineers as I probably should have bumped it up a tad when editing. But what the hey...live and learn as they say. As to your complaint of the lead singer....he sang it because as his title describles; he's the lead singer. It's not a chick band. As for pitch control, you should hear him live, he does great. But this was his first time making a recording as well. I'm sure that if we were to drop back to when you were fisrst starting out.....well...you get my point. Experience is gold. The road to experience is littered with mistakes.

This was pretty decent, albeit slightly corny, but it still worked well for what it was. I do like that song as well.

You might consider adding some grammar skill to back up that musical skill.
