I shot this video for Sharon Wilbur in one day during a visit to Jerusalem last October. Mercy Calling is Sharon’s most recent studio release and it is already making a name for itself. Sharon Wilbur is one of America’s hottest new stars. In a class all of her own, Sharon stands alone in Christian-Messianic Music circles. The daughter of Joel Chernoff (Lamb) and daughter-in-law of international recording artist, Paul Wilbur, you can rest assured, Sharon has the talent, the charisma, and the voice to pump out solid music for some time to come.

Sharon was a contestant on American Idol not too long ago, and in addition to touring regularly, performing concerts side-by-side her father-in-law, she is also the new Face of Fox30″ in Jacksonville, Florida.

GOODING has been a friend of mine for almost 10 years now, and of all of the people I know, he is by far the most talented and gifted person I’ve ever met. A guitar prodigy and a composer, GOODING’s versatility, which can be found in his catalogue of music is nothing short of genius. With over 600 shows under his belt, and a growing collection of compositions, featured in movie trailers, network and cable television, etc, GOODING is destined to someday be scoring for full length motion pictures, where he will undoubtedly be giving the likes of James Newton Howard and Thomas Newman a run for their money.

I’ve been filming GOODING for almost the entire time I’ve known him at many venues around the country. His shows are electrifying…no pun intended. Off stage, GOODING is a down-to-earth, humble soul, but as soon as he takes to the stage it’s as if he plugs into a 220 outlet!

Beginning in March, GOODING and his band will kick off a 50 state tour. If you get an opportunity, don’t even think about missing his show. To wet your appetite, here’s a piece of the man himself, who I caught up with in LA not too long ago…doing his thing.

One of the most gratifying things about my work is that I have a lot of friends and acquaintances, who often call upon me to do some work for them. Although I do a lot of different genres of production and post production work, it is always an honor and a privilege to do work that embraces my spiritual beliefs.

Back in October of last year, I made the trip down to Memphis, Tennessee, where James is senior pastor of The Lord’s Church. James has been in the ministry practically all of his life, and his church reflects his mission: a growing body of believers dedicated to impacting their community and their city through real-life-relationship with God.

This is the company website for 316Films.com – -as if you couldn’t already arrive at that conclusion without my announcement. :) After many, many hours of organizing content, editing photos and videos, and far too many hours spent in front of the computer, our new company site is up and running!

After many years spent filming events outside of the wedding-event industry, I decided to form a company that focused beyond the scope of my wedding production company (www.motionpicturewedding.com). 316FILMS produces everything from concert videos to powerful documentaries, to short movies. We also create commercials with “more” than just a simple message. In addition to common, industry-production genre, we are a “branding” specialist. We can show you how to market the strength and uniqueness of yourself, your company, and what-you-do to create a brand all of your own with the help of Production Marketing Media Material (PMMM).

I couldn’t help but introduce the new company, without pulling a highlight reel from our 2009 archives…what better way to kick things off! Featured here, the opening sequence to Nathan Wilbur & Malki Rodriguez’s wedding movie. (To maintain HD quality, this clip’s ending has been modified)

Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
