Jacob Durrant of AllAboutMormons.com is on a streak. He’s recently created eight videos explaining Gospel teachings in his own words:
He’s also begun translating the videos into Portuguese, and all his videos are available on YouTube.
Here’s what Jacob is doing right:
He has created excellent videos using “consumer” level tools.- He shares his videos on YouTube, in addition to his own website, so more people will find them.
- He uses his ability to speak Portuguese to translate the videos and reach even more people.
- His explanations use terminology that persons of other faith will understand.
- He explains Gospel principles in his own words, not claiming to be an official representative of The Church. His disclaimer makes it clear that his words are his own.
I believe these videos are amateur work in the best sense of that word, a word that derives from the Latin word for love.
Did you know you don’t need any video editing software or equipment to create a video on YouTube? Any Church member with a web cam can use YouTube’s Quick Capture option to record video testimonies.
