Transferring the Real World to the Screen Words: Sebastian Strand Art: Nathaniel Redekop
What makes a video look professional instead of cheap or cheesy? As a ‘video guy’ growing up in a small church, I’m well-acquainted with the frustration of knowing my own work looked unprofessional, but not always being able to pinpoint why. Nathaniel Redekop is a well-known visual artist within Hillsong, and has created content for the Hollywood produced Hillsong feature film Let Hope Rise, as well as Hillsong United tours and albums. He’s even done some work with recording artist Selena Gomez. Those that see his work are often blown away by the ground-breaking visuals and his ability to not just complement, but add layers and personality. Working with Nathaniel for many years now, I recently caught up with him to discuss his thoughts on what it is that distinguishes professional looking content from the average.
