Slow going...

... but it's SOOOO gonna be worth it.

Matchbox Car Challenge

I wanna dig up my Hot Wheels collection just so I can try some of this stuff.

KidSpring Teaser

Even though we just started a brand new series at KidSpring, I've already began brainstorming for the next one. Here's just a little snippet of what's coming in May.

Who's Coming?

So, Unleash 2009 is just days away & I'm wondering if I can expect to see any of you. If you're one of the lucky 3000 or so that have signed up let me know!
While there, you can find me in the KidSpring breakout sessions fielding production/media questions (as they relate to kids ministry) as best I can.

KidSpring Opener - Super Sports Spectacular

As promised:

KidSpring Opener - Super Sports Spectacular from Justin Beam on Vimeo.

This piece was especially fun due to the opening of the new kids building this weekend. It was great--parents literally had trouble getting their kids out of church when the service was over.
For this opener to work it had to do 3 things:

Fit inside the Super Sports Spectacular Branding

Introduce the KidSpring logo and mascot (Iggy is his name)

Provide a transition point within the service

Getting the spring to bounce just right was a test in patience and physics. I hand keyframed 99% of the movement, but I think the result was well worth it.
