Easy. Doesn't have to be morning. Easy. Doesn't have to be morning. Easy. Doesn't have to be summer. And, uh, it's a winner. Um, it summer. And, uh, it's a winner. Um, it summer. And, uh, it's a winner. Um, it is a winner. I think this one wins in is a winner. I think this one wins in is a winner. I think this one wins in particular because they've executed the particular because they've executed the particular because they've executed the whip transition really well. Can you whip transition really well. Can you whip transition really well. Can you explain really briefly to the folks explain really briefly to the folks explain really briefly to the folks listening or watching how to accomplish listening or watching how to accomplish listening or watching how to accomplish that whip transition in in camera like that whip transition in in camera like that whip transition in in camera like in phone? Yeah. So they they've made the in phone? Yeah. So they they've made the in phone? Yeah.

Um, it's to like write it backwards. Um, it's to like write it backwards. Um, it's kind of like that. Basically, you have kind of like that. Basically, you have kind of like that.

Um, the first clip is somebody sitting down uh first clip is somebody sitting down uh first clip is somebody sitting down uh for church and there's an icon of uh a for church and there's an icon of uh a for church and there's an icon of uh a battery overlaid and it's down at 1%.

battery overlaid and it's down at 1%. battery overlaid and it's down at 1%. And then after that clip, again, that And then after that clip, again, that And then after that clip, again, that clip is only on the screen for about 2 clip is only on the screen for about 2 clip is only on the screen for about 2 seconds. After that clip is like a real seconds. After that clip is like a real seconds. After that clip is like a real super cut. You're flashing to clips of super cut. You're flashing to clips of super cut. You're flashing to clips of church life u mostly in the sanctuary church life u mostly in the sanctuary church life u mostly in the sanctuary there um at about you know 0.2 0.3 there um at about you know 0.2 0.3 there um at about you know 0.2 0.3 seconds each. And as the video seconds each. And as the video seconds each. And as the video progresses, the battery is going up from progresses, the battery is going up from progresses, the battery is going up from 1% all the way up to 100%. And so it's 1% all the way up to 100%. And so it's 1% all the way up to 100%. And so it's basically saying like, hey, when you basically saying like, hey, when you basically saying like, hey, when you come to church depleted, um, this is the come to church depleted, um, this is the come to church depleted, um, this is the stuff that like recharges your your stuff that like recharges your your stuff that like recharges your your spirit.

Up to have a question for you, Brad. Up to this point, this is video 14 to 15. Up this point, this is video 14 to 15. Up this point, this is video 14 to 15. Up to this point, every video we have um to this point, every video we have um to this point, every video we have um talked about, you have been able to talked about, you have been able to talked about, you have been able to accomplish like in in phone. Basically, accomplish like in in phone. Basically, accomplish like in in phone. Basically, you can shoot it all on your phone. Even you can shoot it all on your phone. Even you can shoot it all on your phone. Even the slow motion ones, edit in phone. the slow motion ones, edit in phone. the slow motion ones, edit in phone. This one seems to be an outlier because This one seems to be an outlier because This one seems to be an outlier because we've got this battery icon going up we've got this battery icon going up we've got this battery icon going up from 1% to 100%. Um, if a church wanted from 1% to 100%. Um, if a church wanted from 1% to 100%. Um, if a church wanted to pull this off, how would you to pull this off, how would you to pull this off, how would you recommend tackling that um, icon overlay recommend tackling that um, icon overlay recommend tackling that um, icon overlay there? My sense is it's probably just a there? My sense is it's probably just a there? My sense is it's probably just a cap cut template. So, you could probably cap cut template. So, you could probably cap cut template. So, you could probably get it for free via Cap Cut or Explore get it for free via Cap Cut or Explore get it for free via Cap Cut or Explore Instagram's new edits app. I I'm pretty Instagram's new edits app. I I'm pretty Instagram's new edits app. I I'm pretty confident that this was done in phone.

confident that this was done in phone. confident that this was done in phone. Um, even if it wasn't, any uh template Um, even if it wasn't, any uh template Um, even if it wasn't, any uh template site would have something similar, site would have something similar, site would have something similar, right? You could also do it via a series right? You could also do it via a series right? You could also do it via a series of graphics. You could use a tool like of graphics. You could use a tool like of graphics. You could use a tool like iconfinder.com and instead of having it iconfinder.com and instead of having it iconfinder.com and instead of having it go, this one kind of like really go, this one kind of like really go, this one kind of like really smoothly goes from zero up to 100, you smoothly goes from zero up to 100, you smoothly goes from zero up to 100, you could do it where like the bar is slowly could do it where like the bar is slowly could do it where like the bar is slowly increasing. So let's say you found a increasing. So let's say you found a increasing. So let's say you found a free graphic on iconfinder.com or any of free graphic on iconfinder.com or any of free graphic on iconfinder.com or any of these sites, you just searched like um these sites, you just searched like um these sites, you just searched like um battery charge and it showed a battery battery charge and it showed a battery battery charge and it showed a battery and there were like four charge dashes and there were like four charge dashes and there were like four charge dashes within the actual cell of the battery. within the actual cell of the battery. within the actual cell of the battery. You could bring that into Photoshop and You could bring that into Photoshop and You could bring that into Photoshop and you could just like delete the first you could just like delete the first you could just like delete the first three, save it, delete the first two, three, save it, delete the first two, three, save it, delete the first two, save it, delete one, save it, and you'd save it, delete one, save it, and you'd save it, delete one, save it, and you'd have four different versions. And then have four different versions. And then have four different versions. And then you could just show them as four images you could just show them as four images you could just show them as four images stacked. So it starts with one cell of stacked. So it starts with one cell of stacked. So it starts with one cell of battery, two cell, three cell, four battery, two cell, three cell, four battery, two cell, three cell, four cell. So it doesn't need to be done in cell. So it doesn't need to be done in cell. So it doesn't need to be done in like this actual like video vector, like this actual like video vector, like this actual like video vector, right, that got brought into post. It right, that got brought into post. It right, that got brought into post. It could be done in a more lowfi way and could be done in a more lowfi way and could be done in a more lowfi way and you'd accomplish the same effect. Love you'd accomplish the same effect. Love you'd accomplish the same effect. Love it. Okay, last one. The last one might it. Okay, last one. The last one might it. Okay, last one. The last one might be my favorite.
