For the Modern Christmas Eve Services at Schweitzer in 2018, we wanted to create a unique experience. So we developed “The Journey of Alex McDuck and Aaron the Christmas Elf.”
Certain elements of the service were on video, while others involved live drama. The interweaving of video and live elements put those in attendance right in the middle of the story; they became characters themselves.
During the live services and rehearsals, we captured video and edited that together to create the short film you see here. While missing the unique interactive element, the film still maintains a certain meta quality that we hope makes the viewer feel a similar connection to that of those who were there in person.
