For God So Loved the World…

by michael on January 3, 2009

…That He sent His only begotten Son…  Perhaps you are familiar with John 3:16 in the Bible.  If not, or if you haven’t paused to reflect on its meaning lately, we encourage you to do that.  God loves YOU.  He loves you so much that he sent his only Son to wipe away your sin; all you have to do is accept Jesus into your heart and invite Him to be Lord and Saviour of your Life.

When you ask Jesus to be Lord and Savior of your life, He will not only give you eternal life, but an abundant life of joy and goodness here on Earth…

About this clip: These have to be two of our favorite scenes of the production. Theo was animated by John Pomeroy, and the mice by Huz. Theo’s true personality is captured in this clip when he speaks directly to camera. He truly is that excited about the gospel.

The Good News – the Gift of Life

by michael on December 16, 2008

This clip is really at the core of Theo’s “Good News.” It clearly depicts the awful separation between sinful mankind and holy God. Because “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), there is no way for this young couple to cross the great divide without Jesus Christ becoming the “Light Bridge.” But in Christ there is no divide at all.

This is the “good news” Theo wants the world to know. We chose to depict the young couple in rotoscope form, and without features, so that the viewer could better identify with one or the other character, and perhaps project his/her face in its place.

It is our hope that you, as did the young couple in the clip, choose the free gift of life through Jesus Christ.

About this clip: These scenes are the heart of our production. When we were brainstorming on how to translate this message onto the screen, we thought about using the technique of rotoscoping. For those of you who are not familiar with this process, it is basically tracing around filmed digital images on the computer. It took about a month to complete this short bit of footage. Daniel, our fine arts designer worked on this section, and we are very proud of how it turned out.

The Purpose-Driven Cartoon

December 12, 2008

Theo was created in order to reach children, from preschool through elementary school, in ALL cultures, with the “Good News” of the Bible, truths that would be taught in such a way that children will not only enjoy the learning process, but also retain what they have learned.
This is an exciting time for us here [...]
