A Note about Nonprofits:

We are committed to assuring that good design is everywhere. One group that typically cannot afford to pay for good design is the nonprofit organization. So here at Cypruscreek Digital, we devote 10% of our business to helping nonprofits, like LOVEM Ministries, to increase awareness of their mission through great design.

If you would like to see a nonprofit benefit from our services please tell them to contact us at alffarr@gmail.com.

If we’re not currently in the market for nonprofit clients at that time, you can sponsor them in attaining the good design they need to promote their message. If the nonprofit is a 401-3C nonprofit organization your sponsorship would be tax deductible just like any other donation.

Video ProductionProject: 2009 Demo Reel

Our 2009 demo reel was fun. It gave us an opportunity to look back on all our projects and select our favorites to show to the world. It showcases some of the best work we’ve done for clients, and a few personal projects as well.

Here is a shot by shot breakdown of our demo reel, and a little glimpse into all the work that went into each one.

17

Project: “Inside Islam” Intro

This shot was made for an intro to a miniseries about the life of a former radical Muslim. It was built in After Effects, taking advantage of it’s native 3D support and particle effects, with stock footage of stormy clouds for the sky. To match the show’s fire themed graphics we also added some severe color correction to give the shot it’s fiery mood.

18

Project: “The Lamb of God” Video Billboard

This series of shots is from a video billboard we made for Brenda Angel, who we worked with before on her personal site and the Sculpt America Foundation’s website. The subtle movement in the clouds is hand animated, as is the timing of the lightning flashes. It was an interesting challenge to find ways to grab people’s attention without using audio.

19

Project: “Gujarat Crusade” Graphic

This graphic was made for an evangelist’s healing crusade to Gujarat, India. It was made in After Effects using real satellite images, and includes features like lights from major cities visible on the night side of the planet. The rotation starts in North America and ends over India, where it zooms in to Gujarat. In the final product, this of course transitioned back to the video.

20

Project: “Fun With Physics”

Taken from a personal project in which a boy attempts to do some backyard physics experiments while his friend keeps insisting he can throw a rock faster than the speed of light. This shot is of the rock hurtling through space and time as it nears light speed. When it achieves it’s goal the rock is transformed into energy, blasting off into space.

21

Project: “Inside Islam” Chapter Intro

This is one of the many chapter intros made for the “Inside Islam” Miniseries. It features a similar sky to that of the opening shot and has the same fiery color grading. The shot fades in from black, the text is suspended in 3D space in front of the clouds and a camera slowly approaches it before a blinding flash takes us into the chapter.

22

Project: “Inside Islam” Book Ad

Before “Inside Islam” was a miniseries it was an autobiographical book by Reza Safa. This promo was completely animated in After Effects. It’s one of a series of book ads, each one featuring different color grading to tie in with the book’s cover. As a disclaimer: Those are the client’s words not ours, and we don’t necessarily agree with everything our clients say, obviously.

23

Project: “Vancouver Persian Conference” Promo

This promo was made for a Persian conference in Vancouver. All of the graphics were made in Illustrator and animated in After Effects. Originally made in English, it was then translated and re-animated in Farsi text. Starting at the title, a line flows down, hitting live video of the speakers and turning them into illustrations.

24

Project: A TBN Nejat TV Graphic

This graphic was made for TBN Nejat TV’s Month of Prayer for Iran. Nejat is a Farsi language station broadcasting into Iran, eventually this text was translated into Farsi. The host was filmed on a blue screen from two different angles, then we created a 3D set in After Effects and rendered two angles that matched the camera placement of the original shots.

25

Project: A TBN Nejat TV Satellite Promo

This promo was made for TBN Nejat TV’s annual fund rasing promo. It starts with an aerial shot of the Nejat studio, then the camera pulls out, flying through clouds and past a satellite into space, where Nejat’s two satellites are shown broadcasting to the major Farsi speaking populations all over the world.

What is Ahead in 08?By Pastor Reza Safa

About five years ago I was interviewed by a Christian magazine in California. I was asked about the future of About five years ago I was interviewed by a Christian magazine in California. I was asked about the future of the Islamic world. One of my predictions was that the nation of Pakistan would be the next place where the

radical Islamic movement would become a dominant force. With the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto, and increased violence in Pakistan, that prediction is not far off.

As the violence and political unrest ignite in such hot spots as Pakistan, the question is, are we able to see As the violence and political unrest ignite in such hot spots as Pakistan, the question is, are we able to see beyond the media’s flashy, shallow, and high gear type of reporting? Do our political leaders and their aides

have the ability to foresee what is ahead? What will America do if Iran’s type of revolution takes place in Paki-stan, a nuclear radical Islamic nation?

World SystemThe world system is a selfish system. It is based upon its own interests. It is not about democracy or human rights. That may be for us dreamers and middle class Republicans, but in actuality, it is about the good old Dollar, which right now is very bad. I changed a dollar in Cyprus just a few weeks ago for 39 cents of their

money. I paid $100 for a simple dinner for three of us!
