1. Ethiopian Orphans
8 months ago
In October 2008, I got to travel to Ethiopia with Tom Davis of Children’s HopeChest. I put together this simple video to give you a glimpse of the beautiful children we met over there.

Directed and edited by Simon Scionka on behalf of Children's HopeChest.

    Simon, when I first saw the scared video from Tom's new novel I saw something amazing. I saw what God had shown me in how video journalism was to be for those suffering in Africa and the world. I thought, wow, Tom's been given the vision too until today, when God brought to my attention you on Facebook. Now, after seeing your video here in Vimeo its confirmed, for it's YOU who has been given this vision too. Because your doing exactly what I see I am to do. All I can say is continue on my brother, in your talent to shock and awe people into reality of what a true Christian is to do for those who have no strength, voice, or ability to help themselves.
    God Bless you and if God willing....I'll see you in the mission field!

    It's sad. But the music pushes my nerve.

    beautiful...children and work.
    loved the one shot near the end where you started in close to the face, zoomed out to show background, then had a quick zoom back in to the face.

    Fantastic work Simon. Keep it up.
    Was all of the Ethiopia footage shot with your Canon 5D Mark II?
  • Simon Scionka 11 days ago
    Hi Paul. Thank you!
    No, the Ethiopia footage was shot on a Panasonic HVX200 in 24p. I am heading back to Ethiopia this December and I will shoot on the 5D this time! Can't wait!

    Simon,
    Great video. Thanks! We'll be using it this Sunday for awareness of our trip to ET in a couple of weeks, to visit orphanages.
    Where did you get the music?
