Filming Tips :

Tina was hanging on the top of a high mountain inside the forest crying out loud for help but none came. There were evil creatures flying all around her, too big and terrifying that she called out to her mother, who showed up at the top of the hill for help. She knelt down and stretched out her hand to help her. As her mother grabbed her right hand, she started climbing up, she climbed up successfully but her mum slipped and fell off the cliff.

Tina screamed! Alas it was a dream! She was on a flight to meet Celina in California, “thank goodness it was dream” she exclaimed breathing heavily. The flight landed and she was welcomed by Celina who later took her to the same mansion where they had their first meeting. It was an all night event, Remy was there but like someone forced to come to an uninteresting party, dignitaries in the entertainment and politics were there merrying as usual. The host of the event raised his voice speaking to the microphone and led them to the next phase of their meeting. People started walking in an orderly manner into the mansion, Tina looked at Celina who signaled her to join the people.

Inside the mansion there was a golden door with a strange inscription, everyone entered through it, Celina took Tina by the hand, took her aside, brought out a scarf to blindfold her, Tina asked if that was necessary Celina nodded in affirmation and whispered into her ear that it was a surprise. She walked blindfolded into the same door.

When Celina removed the scarf, Tina was shocked to see herself in a very large hall bigger than even the whole estate. The whole place was dimly lit, there were thousands of people in attendance. They were all dressed in white with a red tall cap and veil. To her right, she saw six people whose faces were left open without the uniform and eight people to her left. They all had a table – like computer screen before them and an electric pen. Their host who was also in uniform announced to them that they are about to take their businesses to the top of the world, he promised them fame and fortune, then asked them to think about the person they love the most who they will like to choose as their manager.

He started asking them one after the other, and told them to click the forehead of the person they love with the pen as his/her face shows up on the screen in front of them. They were all told to do it together at once, none of them argued or asked any question. He further told them to touch the liquid that comes out of the computer with their left middle finger and stamp it on their names in front of them to show their approval.

They all did it! It was blood that came out of the forehead of those they touched, Tina reluctantly placed blood on her name as instructed though there was confusion written all over her face. Only few of them were indifferent about it. The crowd of witnesses then echoed some chants together in a Strange language, these new members were scared, then their host took off his veil and welcomed them properly; congratulated them once again, then the rest of the members unveiled themselves.

Guess who the new members saw…. To be continued next week!

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I had a nice time with my family, lesser work and more family time. There are some new inventions in the technical world which really amazed me. 8k cameras has started spreading though we are yet to move into HD in Nigeria due to the fact that the Nigerian broadcasting coperation kept changing the date of the final switch to HD. We are still in SD till date, there is no HDTV broadcast in Nigeria except those ones brought in by DSTV the south African company.

I saw 360 degree camera at work at the just concluded Siggraph conference in United States https://youtu.be/Uz2CWipbekw check out that video, use your hand to move it 360 degree, use your mouse if you are using mouse. We are yet to move to 4k shooting with normal camera and now there is 8k 360 degree sensor camera. I kept wondering what led to this technology and in what way can the world benefit from this apart from documentation purposes. Then I thought this should be very good for security purposes, I mean one of this can replace 8 security cameras, if your company need this I can supply and install it for you (sorry for the advert).

DaVinci resolve has released a new version of their software that will really benefit windows users, get to their website and download it, proress can now be easily decode on windows. Phantom 4 by DJI has now become the smartest drone on earth with four special sensors that detect obstacles and avoid it on its own. The world is not stopping or waiting for anyone, knowledge is increasing all over the world, please don’t just lay back, improve on yourself daily, spiritually and mentally, with these you can be the best of you.

Fire dancer story will be too long to add to this post, so I have decided to add another post tomorrow night for the continuation.

Filming Tips :

Joanne walked into the fifth living room, well furnished with an Italian touch - french fabrics were used on all the curtains in blue with a touch of gold, the white Italian tiles on the floor were laced with royal blue flowery design, all electronic gadgets are voice automated; courtesy the high speed internet operational in the whole mansion.

The first thing Joanne noticed is that the room seems darker than usual, she said "Light on", and the lights came on, then she sees her friend coiled on the golden sofa holding a brown coffee color throw pillow sobbing with her face turned away from everything but the chair.

Joanne quickly dropped her bag on the floor and rushed to her friend, her black high heel shoes and her tight black micro skirt almost made her fall on Tina Kardashian her long time friend already clad in her white night wear. She gently placed her friend's head on her laps as she sits on the sofa,  she starts to ask different questions without any answer from Tina who is staring at nothing in particular.

Tina runs her own show on national TVs, she is the most popular beautiful screen goddess,  her dark skin and perfect figure 8 shape makes billions of men on earth yearn for her nakedness while some secretly masturbate while holding her picture, and she is very wealthy in her late 20s. Joanne started wondering who or what could have put her dear friend in such a state? After much persuasion Tina finally speaks...

"The place was very dark, the darkness was indescribable, there was noise everywhere, I couldn't see anything at all, oh....the darkness,  I can still feel it in my throat  (coughed)", Joanne interrupts her: "what in the world are you saying?"
After a while, I was... oh! This is too much... (crying aloud) Tina continues, "I was actually standing at the feet of a 17 year old girl, I just know she should be of that age,  I saw a tiny snake crawling out of her left leg from a hole that looks deep inside, oh! You can't imagine the pain in her voice as she gnashed her teeth in pain, it took me some time before I could figure out what she was saying, she was begging for death then I cried out in fear when I saw a terrible creature using a hot iron to burn the left breast of this teenager, the girl was wailing but no one came to her rescue, ho... what a shame.... she looked at me in pain and said "you sent me here, you destroyed me", with tears I responded "I've never seen you before ", the girl answered, "you were my idol", then someone dragged me like a piece of sheet and threw me into the midst of fire, I started crying for help, then I had totally forgotten all I have acquired  on earth, I shouted Jesus the name I only use for fun because I once overheard a TV preacher that it could save me, instead of safety, a sharp object pierced my face, oh, I can still feel the horrible pain on my face. I wished to die but it seemed to be totally impossible,  I was... I was much more terrified when I saw that the person who had pierced my face was actually me, she was 100 percent me, then she transformed and became a very horribly looking creature. She told me to start dancing in the fire, I was naked, the fire was filled with dollars burning, I was too dumbfounded to ask a question,  then the creature told me, I must keep dancing because he had appointed me to be a fire dancer since i was a teenager ... to be continued. .....

This is a horror film, it's just an extract from a film titled "THE FIRE DANCER". Let's explore other genres, don't limit what God intends doing through you. Thanks for your time.

Till next week Monday when I will be coming your way again, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.Don't tell me you don't know me, the creature exclaimed! I was shivering with my pierced face; she changed again and this time in one of my best dresses, the whole place was full of thick smoke, there were horrible sounds from everywhere, I didn't know whether I was sweating water or blood.

Something that looked like a scorpion entered into my right leg; it stung me inside, as it  crawled to my upper part, this my doppelganger kept talking, I couldn't think staight! I should lose my mind but that didn't happen, I can still feel the pain. "she looked at her friend who was still shocked and speechless and continued", my doppelganger yelled at me, let me refresh your memory; she gave me a terrible slap that sounded like the string of 10 electric guitars in my ear. Many people appeared there with tons of evil creatures around to deal with them mercilessly. They seem to multiply every minute both old and young, the cry and agony in that place is inexplicable, no one cared about anyone because we were all in pain.

Her slap landed me on a stage in Atlanta where I held a live performance with 100,000s in attendance, waiting to hear me sing and dance. The floor manager got on stage to notify my guys that it was time. I saw myself coming out in that dress, I wasn't really strong to take the stage because I just sniffed a little cocaine and the crowd was the biggest I have ever seen, the scream from my fans was too much, then I saw my doppelganger in the same dress come out from nowhere, merged into me; I became bold and strong and felt like a goddess who is ready to recieve worship, i started singing and the whole crowd was engulfed in it. I even heard someone scream "I will die for you Tina", then I looked at her, I didn't know what caught my attention to the statement from that young lady, I winked at her in appreciation though I don't remember any of that.

My doppelganger then looked at me where we were standing and said "I winked at her not you, I made that girl go into drug overdose and die though she was a pastor's daughter and I am sure you have met her here", when she mentioned here I discovered that we were back in this place of horror and the scorpion - like creature in me has now reached inside my tommy then I fell back into the fire, rolling up and down in pain...

To be continued. ...

All what is being said in word will be displayed in visuals and sounds in a movie. THE FIRE DANCER continues next week Monday. If you have missed our past posts please go to Christian film institute page and like our page. Feel free to share.

Till next week Monday when I will be coming your way again, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.
Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I had a very busy one as usual but to God be the glory. Please brace up, this will be one of my longest post but trust, there will be no dull moment as we continue on the story: The Fire Dancer

I started screaming on the floor while this my doppelganger continued laughing at me, the pain from the scorpion was indescribable, the smell in that terrible place can't be explained, there was ominous sound and horror in the air, a lady was dragged along the left side of me by another horrible creature that was as short as a dwarf but fat with only one big eye on his forehead, a tiny nose and a very large mouth, the lady looked dead but my doppelganger had made me understand that no one can die here, only eternal pain and anguish, different types and sizes of insects were coming from her body, I managed to role to the other side of the fire when I saw an extremely big insect like creature dropped out of the soul of her feet to join the scorpion bites in me.

Back into her gorgeous livingroom. Tina continued; that was when I found out I actually role out of my bed, she turned to Joanne; what is wrong with me Joanne? Joanne was speechless,  later she took a deep breath and told her friend to try to go and freshen up first while they think about what to do. Joanne was about to remind Tina of the show she had to present in the evening but cautioned herself that it wasn't the right time.

Tina managed to get up, her friend gaze on, Tina still held unto her tommy, then Joanne offered to help her to the bathroom, inside the bathroom the doppelganger was already waiting inside the mirror, Joanne entered first, held her friend's right hand, walked her to the mirror where she supposed to brush her teeth, Joanne helped her to put paste on the brush, since Tina's left hand was still on her tommy, Tina took the brush with sorrow written all over her face, she started brushing, Joanne was looking into her friend in the mirror, then Tina lifted up her head and saw her doppelganger smiling at her, she passed out immediately.

Ambulance sirens was blasting as they rushed Tina to the hospital, this is the biggest hospital in the city of Boston in United States, three doctors surrounded the stretcher including her personal doctor with seven nurses running with them, Tina's nose was covered with oxygen, Joanne was not allowed to enter into the emergency ward, lots of attention was given to this great celebrity, some journalists managed to force their way into the hospital but the security was at alert to push them out, Joanne didn't have to answer any of the questions being thrown at her.

Inside the private room, Tina woke up as the doctors were still trying to carry out some tests on her, her personal doctor, Dr Alfred asked her if she was okay, he flashed the light into her right eye and left eye, when Tina came into her senses she screamed out in terror, she wanted to jump out of the bed with all her strength but the doctors held her down, Tina was not seeing the doctors, she was seeing doppelganger in all the uniforms, she was crying for help while they were trying to inject her which they did as she passed out again.

After eight hours, Tina woke up, but this time she opened the right eye slowly, the terror had made her forget the pain in her stomach, she discovered she was alone, she sighed and opened her left eye, she saw her own news on the TV in her private ward, the reporter was saying that Tina Kardashian had been in coma for the past eight hours, she looked around for a bell to call for attention, then she saw her doppelganger sitting beside her, then she smiled and asked her not to scream, I am a friend, she said smiling, Tina wanted to shout but she couldn't open her mouth, she was shaking and sweating in terror.

Have I done you any wrong? She asked. I am your friend, now let me show you what I mean, she touched her finger and all her pains disappeared.  Tina was very healthy and strong, her doppelganger continued talking to her, "I have been with you long ago, when you decided to take your career to the next level and you got our approval, why am I even telling you all these since you were part of the whole process. I am sorry about the nightmare you had, that wasn't from me, so long as you remain my friend and cooperate with me, you can never suffer any after life bull sheet, if you are my friend you will reign with me forever. I will see you at your show tonight, please when you see me don't Frick out, your show starts in two hours time, don't worry, I won't come to your show like this and don't try to look for me because you won't see me, we will talk when you return home tonight but don't try to go elsewhere because you are smarter than that. She winked at her and left through the door, her personal doctor came in as soon as her doppelganger left, she was looking at Dr Alfred suspiciously, when the doctor smile she stood up in bed, the doctor was approaching then she screamed and said "don't come near me", he was astonished, "I want to go home now" she demanded, "it's okay, relax Tina, can you just allow me to check if you are okay to go home now?"

Another white doctor brought her friend in, Joanne had wept seriously which had affected her makeup, Joanne walked to her friend and hugged her, they were both crying. Joanne asked her friend how she was feeling, she said she was okay but still afraid of every moving object.

An hour later, Tina was home in her livingroom with her friend, one of the maids came in with some wine, her friend encouraged her to drink, she then asked her to follow her to the bathroom one more time to freshen up but this time they were both afraid, she came out dressed gorgeously since all her clothes were of the highest class, she wore no makeup, her friend told her she needed to use the toilet, she stood up, as she was going Tina's doppelganger sat beside Tina, she wanted to call her friend to come back but she couldn't talk though Joanne was still within the sitting room .....

To be continued next week

Till next week Monday when I will be coming your way again, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.

Filming Tips :

Joanne didn't notice what was happening as she walked out of the livingroom, Tina's doppelganger smiled and said "why are you making things difficult for yourself, I told you your nightmare was not from me. Nekushti was just messing with your brain just to ruin our relationship, you know I took away your pain, I love you Tina". Tina was still in puzzlement when one of her house maids came into the room with a serving tray of two glasses of wine intended for Joanne and Tina. She was shocked when she saw the doppelganger and she almost threw off the tray but smiles when the doppelganger winked at her. Tina was confused the more when Nancy the housemaid served the doppelganger, she couldn't believe what she was seeing, Nancy placed the wine on a stool and left.

Are you surprised Nancy could see me? The doppelganger said, don't be, Nancy should be your best friend among your maids, because she is a loyal servant, she is an hybrid. I know you want to know what an hybrid is. Tina shook her head to indicate no, the doppelganger started seeping her wine,  by now Joanne was approaching, the doppelganger placed the cup on the stool back, Joanne almost sat on the doppelganger, she shifted for her to sit beside her friend.  Tina started reflecting on what brought her to this.

Seven years ago, Tina was in her parent livingroom with two friends of her, one is Jenny and the other one is Joanne, they were watching  a show on TV, Celina the greatest singer and dancer at that time was singing with hundreds of thousands in attendance.  Tina adore her and started seeing her as a mentor, the three of them started dancing as she was singing their favourite song.

Tina did a video with her friends, she sang as the lead singer and showed some dancing steps. The video was placed on YouTube, it generated over seven million views, Tina started getting calls from different recording companies, she was only eighteen years old, her parent was glad their daughter was getting noticed. Celina was at the roof top of her penthouse sitting down besides the pool, she was watching Tina and her friends on YouTube with some interest, she signal one of her bodyguards to bring her phone then she made a call.

Tina was shocked to receive a letter from her screen idol Celina, she shared the news with her friends who were equally excited. A week after, a limousine was sent to her to take her to the airport where a private jet was waiting for her, she was a lone in the jet with air hostesses and one of Celina's bodyguards, they gave her more than she requested for. The flight took them from Mississippi to California where she eventually met Celina who gave her a royal welcome. Tina explained how her life dream has come true by meeting her mentor, Celina was excited as well, they spoke together and Celina promised to take her to the top of her career.

She got back home and shared her experience with her parent, her dad decided to be her manager but the mother objected and said she was the best candidate for the job since she was a choir mistress but their daughter told them she would decide who her manager would be later, Jenny's mum who was there when Tina was sharing her experience told them she had a strange feeling about all these Celina issue, Tina's mum claimed she was envious and that was what separated the two families.

Three months after, Celina sent her private jet to  pick Tina for a special meeting with the industry tycoons she was excited as they stepped into a very big mansion, majority of the people there were great men and women in politics and entertainment, they all looked glamorous, Tina was excited the more. Celina whispered to her as they walked by that they were going to have a meeting over night, and that she should be ready to sign up a deal that will make her forget about lack forever. A young man who was also a popular musician was there, he saw the young Tina and looked at her pitifully, he walked up to the two of them and ask Celina if he could have a dance with Tina, Celina agreed and Remy took her hand heading to the dancing floor.

On the dancing floor, Remy started talking to Tina, he told her he was impressed with what she did on her YouTube video, then asked her why she was there, Tina wasn't comfortable with the question, after a little persuasion from Remy, she told him she was there to sign a deal, Remy told her if she wanted to still be in control of her life she better not sign any deal, she was shocked and asked him why did he say that? Remy said I can't tell you more than that, Celina noticed that they were actually doing more of talking than dancing, Remy knew that Celina was suspecting him, then she turned his back to Celina and quickly told Tina not to say anything to Celina, Tina asked him if he has not signed his own deal, he said he had and that was why he didn't want Tina to throw away her soul. Celina Started walking towards them....

Filming Tips :

Hello everyone, hope you had a great day? Sorry I had to delay the post till today for some obvious reasons. Before I continue the horror genre story, I want to tell my technical friends to take some time out to learn "close captioning". I know you know how to subtitle but that can only work for you in a third world nation like ours, if you get to the civilized nations of the world, you will have to use close captioning instead of subtitling. Subtitling is also called open caption, however, subtitle programs that can be activated and deactivated are called close captioning - this enables you to have more than eight languages on a video through authoring.
Authoring is a systematic programing of  media contents in an organized manner into a device. It may be on a DVD disk, a Blu-ray disc or in folders. We do this in Horeb Digital Network. Now let’s continue the Fire Dancer story...

Tina turned back and surprisingly saw Celina staring into her eyes. Celina gently touched her left shoulder and asked with a concerned smile “did he hurt you sweetheart?” No, she replied, “okay let’s get out of here”, she gently held her right hand and walked away into the mansion where there were few guests standing  in twos and threes. Celina greeted some of them and then introduced Tina to a particular man who looked more like the host in his tuxedo, the man later took Celina aside to discuss. After their discussion they called Tina to join them in a tastefully furnished office.

Celina narrated the reason for the meeting to Reinard, the host, who thereafter gave Tina a contract paper to sign offering her a record deal. In addition, she will be given one million dollars as sign-on fee, this money Tina is to lavish on herself to ensure she attains the classy status/ poise befitting of a celebrity before her next meeting with the duo. Tina's joy knew no bounds but Celina assured her that that was nothing compared to opportunities ahead. Celina on her part also added half a million dollar cheque for her parents in gratitude to them for raising such a talented child!

Tina got home to discover a card in her bag belonging to Remy, obviously he must have secretly dropped it in her purse. She was torn between calling him or not but since Remy had earlier warned her not to sign, she decided not to call.

Tina began to live in affluence, her parents also bought a mansion in the neighborhood of the elites of the city, where Tina had a magnificent room to herself.

On a particular sunny day, she came to accept that the thought of calling Remy had been on her mind. Remy was playing a video game in his big livingroom with his friends when the call came in. He excused himself when he discovered it was Tina and walked out to the poolside. Remy asked her if she had signed a contract; rather than reply, Tina asked him the same question. Remy answered in the affirmative and told her that was the reason he didn’t want her to make the same mistake. Tina bombarded him with an array of questions. Look Tina, I am willing to provide all answers but I  guess they will be of no use if as you already signed the blood covenant. Never! Tina exclaimed. "I signed with a pen and not blood." Remy went further: was there any ritual done on that day? "No, what in the world are you talking about? If living in a comfortable house is a mistake, then so be it”. As Remy was trying to explain further, a thunderbolt came out of the wall and struck his fiancée who was standing by the poolside with her friends, she fell into the pool, blood gushing out of her nose and ears. Remy dropped the phone on the floor and dove into the pool to get her out.

Inside the hospital, Remy and few friends were together waiting for the doctor’s report. The doctor came out and led Remy back into his office. What is wrong with my fiancée, Remy asked turning around to face the doctor. He instead saw the doctor transformed into a beast who then warned him not to divulge further information to Tina, "Our secret must be kept secret", he roared. Remy jumped back and hitting his head on the door. The death of your fiancée is just a warning for you to stick to the rules of our society. Mind your business!" There was a knock on the door. The doctor back in his human form held the door knob, “you have been warned, now get out of my office”. Remy rushed out to meet his friends. They were surprised to see the shock on his face and inquired why. Remy walked out of the hospital without uttering a word, his friends followed him wondering what the doctor did to him.

Tina received a message to finish up her music  demo which she had started working on with her friends. After an intensive week and upon completion of the demo, Tina and her friends decided to relax, with bottles of champagne and loud music. They were having fun when Celina’s men came in to take her to L.A. with the demo she has just finished. …to be continued

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I got a message from a friend of mine, it was an audio message. This happened to be a prophet praying, I was happy and I started saying amen, then I suddenly stopped. I had to stop because the player started sounding like witchcraft to me, it was like total act of wickedness on friends and families.
What is wrong with these so called prophets and evangelists who curses others in the name of blessing their own clients or members. I know most of you must have heard some prayers that sound demonic before, while some might have said amen to such prayers mistakenly, some said it deliberately.
Have you heard prayer like, "you shall be the one who will be feeding your siblings, your siblings shall look unto you for food, you shall be their ruler, without you they will amount to nothing, your siblings shall serve you, no decision will be made without consulting you, you shall be the light of your family, your friends shall come to you for help, without you your associate can do nothing, they shall wait on you to make financial decisions, your mother's children shall be your servants, you will be the lonely star in your village, your star shall outshine the rest in your village and your family..... and so on.
I do not expect a genuine child of God to say amen to such demonic prayers. You may not agree with me but try to analyze each of these statements. If someone else has prayed that prayer before you realize that such prayers exist and the Lord has answered, what would have happened to you and your children. This is really getting common, please don't send me such a demonic prayer again. This is a total act of wickedness and lack of understanding on the part of those men of God, a genuine minister of the Gospel should pray only biblical prayers.
Some funny Yoruba speaking pastors will lead prayer like, jumi si kanga aseyori that is, throw me into the well of success, and some other crazy and funny prayers, yet it is unlike the aforementioned demonic prayer points.
I am sorry I left video training for this sermon, but I think God will be happy I did, and that is the most important person to me. If I were you, I will ensure I pray for myself and family saying, every demonic prayer being offered against me and my family be nullified in Jesus name. I will touch some areas next week.

Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend? I had to embark on a journey to Houston to meet some of our brethren for the purpose of the gospel and I am having real fun on the set.
It was a nice experience in a very cool atmosphere but I had to do something I have never done before. Controlling the lens and the camera and holding the boom mic at the same time. I had to do many things myself when I went to Cameroun but the experience is totally different here.Holding the boom and shooting at the same time, it was fun anyway. because some cast also helped, the producer is a very wonderful person and her people also tried.
Have you ever thought of editing your job on Blackmagic DaVinci resolve? It is a very nice software and easy to use for someone who is use to final cut pro x. It works like avid and final cut pro. It has source and program monitor like the rest, and it comes with a magnetic time line technology like final cut pro x, the advantage of this are so enormous. I would have loved to do a video on this but not yet, because I will like to take DaVinci resolve and the basics of colour correction at the same time.
Under the brightness of the sun in this picture, I had to make use of the giant reflector you see me holding in this picture to bounce the light of the sun to light the face of the cast in the car, the car was parked backing the sun, if you shoot straight without light, that cast face will give you silhouette and that is why I said you should not go on a location without your five in one reflector. I hope I will be able to do video for us. I really appreciate you all.

Filming Tips:
Hello everyone? Hope you had a great weekend? I Remembered something I heard from Dr. Phil's program about a Nigerian who was trying to dupe a Canadian woman, it was said that the guy is in Lagos and trying to gain Canadian citizenship after collecting over 250,000 dollars from the woman. I am not sure if this is true but if it is, it was a serious character assassination to all Nigerians on an international TV program. I know we can say that a percentage of the father's and politicians of Africa are the major natural disasters we have, but how about a corrupt culture that we have imbibed?
I know that the head affects the body, but can't we change? This should start from each individual, we can determine to be the change. My friend went to the mall to buy something for me, the attendant cheated him, he was about to go home when he realized that he was cheated, he went back to the lady and the lady apologized and begged that he shouldn't alert the authorities. This lady is also a Yoruba woman, she would have lost her job or even go to jail over one dollar, and once you go to jail in America, the best thing is to go back to your country as soon as you are out, because your record is stained forever.
What has this got to do with filming? Media affects the society grossly. Nollywood need to come up with story that can affect our mentality positively. In American films, you see guns everywhere and film about terrorists. if you listen to the news that is what you see everyday. In Nigeria however, our stories are full of girlfriend boyfriend nudity and sex, a percentage of Yoruba films are terrible with curses. They portray Yorubas as touts, why are we showcasing dirty things about our culture, don't we have normal educated people in Yoruba land? Why should we be cursing and cursing at all times. I know some stories require it, but it shouldn't be 95 percent of our stories.
 If you are shooting a movie about touts then there must be curses and touts attitude, that is for Yoruba movies but English is full of other dirty things. Look at Kunle Afolayan stories, look at Tunde Kelani stories, how about Tade Ogidan stories, they are all unique. Please let's use media to change the society and the world at large. President Obama is preaching against the use of gun in America, I believe that would be much more effective if he can contract five Hollywood companies to make stories to support this good course. If President Barack Obama will connect me I can also write a story to help this great campaign.

Filming Tips:
Hello everyone, hope you had a great weekend. I had a busy one and it was a wonderful experience in the cold. I will share the pictures on facebook later today, you need to see how I dressed like someone going into the moon. Why won't I? Naija is really far to this place, I can't kill myself, and that is why I did not fakosi at all.
I am so sorry I could not do my posting last week, I am a one man here, I hope I am forgiven? This video is the last of the three series. For you to be a very good editor, you need to sit with a superior editor, but these videos will help you to start something, if you are a beginner, go through the 3 videos, I have posted two before this, they will help you.
I have some other things I like us to share, but it has nothing to do with movie technicalities, I will post this later in the week. We continue on our post production discuss next week.
Till next week monday when I will be coming your way again, feel free to share, and if you have missed any of my past post, go to xtianmovie.blogspot.com .
Thank you for your time, keep your God-given dreams alive and remain blessed.
