Creation
of promotional and other short videos, for churches and ministries,
is available on the following basis...
-
As our
primary mandate is teaching ministry, video projects will only be
completed (scripted,
filmed, edited, etc.) during time periods not booked for
instructional ministry. Camp ministry is the only partial exception
as teaching ministry and video creation may be combined in the same
time period. For more information on camp possibilities, see our
section on Camp
Ministry.
-
All direct
costs must be reimbursed (or provided) including; (1) meals
for the family, (2) all travel
mileage
, and (3) all accommodations
-- all of these must take into account all days utilized, including
filming and editing. Please note that accommodations and meals may be
provided in whatever manner you wish. Additionally, (4) all material
costs must be covered including tapes, batteries, etc.; a complete
list will be provided upon request. (5) If required, any costs
incurred in procuring, or renting, specialty equipment must be
reimbursed. You are responsible for repairs to equipment damaged
while on your site, unless incurred through normal usage by Lion
Tracks staff.
-
A gift
must be given, in excess of all direct costs and expenses (i.e. all
of the above), by which Brent, Angie and family or Josh and Melanie
Duncan live, and Lion Tracks Ministries function. Even if missions
funding was available, which it is not, it would not be fair -- or
expedient -- to ask that our missions funding for evangelism be used
to fund video projects for other ministries. Any fund raising should
be your responsibility. Lion Tracks' board of directors has allowed
Brent & Angie and Josh & Melanie to work on these projects on
the basis that gifts must be, at least, sufficient to cover all
living and operating expenses for the time consumed. These special
projects also help to provide for systems and equipment upgrades and
purchases. Commercial promotional videos, of a 4 to 7 minutes length,
often cost in excess of $6000-$10000. Knowing that Christian
ministries, for the most part, cannot justify this type of expense,
we have provided this number for reference only. Two other numbers
which are often requested in helping to formulate a gift amount are;
(1) our average gift for a 5 to 10 minute video project is $1500, and
(2) the ministry budget requires approximately $1200 per week to
function. Our board requests that we be advised in advance of the
gift amount. Final decision on our involvement in any project rests
with our Board of Directors.
-
You are
responsible for securing permission to use any special video footage,
images, trademarks, or audio utilized in the construction of your project.
-
Editing at
your location requires the provision of a secure room accessible for
long hours each day. You are responsible for the loss of any
equipment on your premises or video location.
Please contact
us
for additional information -- and provide us with an overview of your
proposed project.
