Hi, I am having a very hard time rendering this video. Can you provide some advice for faster rendering time Adobe After Effects? Thanks
Hi! Thank you for buying the template. This animation is pretty heavy. That’s why I decided to put rendered video in the pack. I suggest that you render out only those parts where you want to add changes. And then mix them in Premiere.
Exciting video!! Excellent work!
Thank you for the feedback!
I cannot express enough how refreshing it is to see an Easter video template that isn’t filled with silly images of bunnies and Easter eggs, but, instead, has the kind of graphics that are fitting to convey the seriousness of what the actual Easter message describes.
Not only that, but the Scriptures you chose for this template dig far deeper into Christian theology than anything I’m used to seeing in this type of message. (Compared to the typical “Here’s Wishing You A Happy Easter!” kind of generic tagline you see so often.) The Biblical passages you chose, (from Romans and II Corinthians and Isaiah 53), are what Paul would call “meat” for grown-ups, instead of milk for infants.
The raw and somewhat primitive style of the artwork is perfectly suited to this message, as well, because it doesn’t detract from the seriousness of what you’re depicting, by having an overly-polished or cartoonish style. I also liked the fact that you showed the “Triumphal Entry” into Jerusalem, with Jesus riding on a donkey, because it contrasts so well with what they did to him just a short time later.
I also like the brief moment of total blackness after the crucifixion, to symbolize the three days in the tomb, followed by the gravestone being rolled away, and a flood of light from within the tomb.
Even the rough font and the brushstroke transitions are perfect for this subject matter. (Transitions, especially, are where a lot of people succumb to wanting to have something cool or flashy, but you resisted that, and chose something much more subtle and appropriate.)
I suppose if I was to find any fault whatsoever, it would be to say that there wasn’t a huge crowd of people when Jesus ascended, but only his 11 disciples at the time. But, hey… you’re allowed a little “Artistic License”, right? And that scene, too, depicts his glory, and the fact that so many long for His return.
All I can say is that I am highly impressed, and I hope that over the coming years, tons of churches reward your hard work, (and the fact that you stayed true to the gospel message), by buying this template again and again.
Excellent work, excellent artistry, and thoroughly Biblical theology. Good work, dude! This former Bible College student gives you two thumbs up, and a major thanks for making something that is both beautiful, and Biblically-sound.(And a refreshing alternative to silly and cartoonish Easter themes.) I think churches and Christian ministries are really going to appreciate this.
And thanks to EdRecords, too, for the beautifully passionate music, and for cutting people a great deal on the price!
Betterhear, thank you for your great warm feedback!
I really appreciate it. You went deeper and did a great job by analyzing this template. You’ve uncovered several conceptual ideas that I was using as a visual subtext.
I agree with you. There were not so many people in the moment of Jesus’ ascending. So my idea was to show a great number of people from all the generations willing to participate in the Lord’s glory. In this part (after darkness), it’s less about ancient events and more about our age of the New Testament.
Thank you, man!
Looks nice!!
Thank you!
