A great freebie!

[Pastor Gary]

I am passing along this section of an e-mail I got today:

As Easter quickly approaches, we at Midnight Oil are excited to offer our brand new Easter video at absolutely no charge. Beyond the Tomb picks up where last month’s Tomb Tutorial left off. This high impact one-minute video/animation brings motion and emotion to the still image that many of you have already built. It incorporates some of the same Photoshop elements used in the tutorial.

Supported by a haunting choir, this piece starts with a long shot that slowly pushes in on silhouettes of three crosses on a hill. The subtle movements of Jesus on the cross play against dissonant voices that build as wind and thunder hammer the sky in the background. Time passes in a dissolve from the crosses to the tomb. Then, an earthquake begins as light cuts through the stone and it moves.

We invite you to download and use this clip for your own Easter or Lenten worship services. If you’d like the tutorial to build the matching graphic, you can download it at this link.

We hope you enjoy Beyond the Tomb. Make sure to see a variety of other Easter resources on our special Easter at Midnight Oil page, too.
