Dawnian Productions

 ' Perfect'- the latest video from Dawnian Productions You Tube Channel, has just been uploaded. What does perfection mean? It is a word one might use to describe a wife, husband, business partner, friend? It is a word one would use to describe a holiday, a home, a location, a moment, a project, a product, a car? Maybe 'perfect' means absolutely nothing to you, and is just a word. Maybe you are wondering why I am talking about this, at all! Good point. Firstly, I'm talking about this because it relates to a video Dawnian Productions has just produced. Maybe, 'perfect' is a word that describes a world we all might want to live in. It seems, wherever I go, I hear people talking about how things are in the world - the violence,  the chaos, war, terrorism, the acceptance of evil over good, racial tensions, and so much more. Most of us have given up of ever seeing a better world. We have all, but lost hope of having anything close to a perfect world, or at least ...

Where will you be when this war starts? A good question given that Ai is creeping (actually racing) into our lives. It is starting to touch 'sacred' spaces of our lives which were once kept private. My latest short video (Ai War) is taking a satirical look at what ai can produce, according to the prompt (mine). In this video, I created text prompts, which resulted in what you see in the video.   Now, I know that some of you, who are working in this ai space, will immediately focus on my text prompts and suggest the results in the video were in response to my inadequate information in my text prompts (and that is certainly true!)....but isn't that the point!. One can prompt (audio, text, video) using an ai generating platform, to create anything...making something wrong to appear to be desirable and beautiful; creating something that is stunningly attractive and looks wholesome and good, but in actual fact, is deeply evil and wicked. It is terrifyingly true that one can crea...

  Sound Bite! I can almost hear someone saying, 'Hey, that's not how you spell Bite. Isn't it spelt ' Byte'? Just to clarify, 'Byte' is a unit of digital information and is often used (incorrectly) with the word 'Sound'. Most style guides suggest that 'Sound Bite' is correct. Just saying. Moving on. 'Sound Bite' is the title of my latest video (Dawnian Productions-You Tube). This production took an inordinate amount of time and I am not sure why. On reflection, I think the message was not clear from the start (I am still unsure if the message is still a little unclear. You, the viewer, will be the final judge of that!). I have used a number of famous faces, in the video, some of which, may not be known to our older viewers. These were added to compare the many voices we hear (and read) each day, to the Voice of Truth, Jesus Christ. I also used these people, so younger viewers, would be better able to relate to the message. I used some...

  The Moon and Other Surprises is the title of my latest video (Dawnian Productions Channel on YouTube). It started as an expression and expanded from there into what you see. I was thinking about how our world is at the moment - truth-averse, corrupt, violent, polarised, a focus on death rather than life, man-centred, selfish and evil. However, amidst all that, there is still much beauty, innocence, heroism, courage, truth, life-affirmation, and my heart was drawn to young children. They rarely have an agenda. They are often awestruck by what they see. They have fun and still are not nuanced in their reactions to things. As adults, we often lose our capacity to be in awe of anything and become jaded so quickly. We see things and we experience things, as we pass by, on our way to appointments, meetings, expectations and outcomes...and somehow the wonder, the surprises and the little celebrations and coincidences of life, of beauty, of Creation and of God, are missed.  I believ...

 I don't quite know what to say about my latest video (it can be viewed on YouTube under its title, 'Tsunami Downunder') It really is an Ai experiment with a sort of a message. It was fun to do using Grok (Elon Musk's equivalent to ChatGPT). It is an extremely powerful tool (and I was using the free, unsubscribed version). I added a narration (I stress that I do not subscribe to the anthropogenic version of climate change). I am still trying to sort out my Ai generation mix in a way that maximise the resources I can use to create ai content, without 'breaking the bank.' The result is not super realistic but it does make an impression. I am looking forward to trying many more ideas using ai. You will be able to see these in YouTube as they are released. I am excited at the potential, using ai, to create some beautiful, inspiring and moving stories. I am also terrified at its capacity to generate deep evil. I, like many others, are still navigating through the con...

 We all do it... (yes, you) scrolling, that is, (see the video at Dawnian Productions on You Tube) on our mobile phones/devices! Everywhere you go, you see it. Head down, eyes watching a screen, looking up occasionally so as to avoid a street rubbish bin, a telegraph pole, a person. Even in our vehicles, we have them...screens, that is! Screens are ubiquitous. They are on our fridges, TV's and Computers, (of course), watches, wrist exercise monitors, batteries, smartphones, ATM's (ever-diminishing), tablets, coffee machines, whiteboards, entertainment systems, sewing machines, fitness machines, cameras, medical equipment...and the list goes on (check on Temu and you will see what I mean). Obviously, not all these screens involve scrolling but most do. At this point, one could get philosophical and possibly even spiritual...or one could look up from their scrolling and wonder what the fuss is all about (probably someone under 30 yrs of age!).But, really why do we do it? Experts,...

  The word, 'Martyr' comes from the Greek word, 'martur' and means 'witness' or 'testimony'. The video, 'Martyr' that I have just completed (see Dawnian Production on YouTube) was a Memorial project for me. Ever since I witnessed that scene on the beach in Libya ten years ago, where those 21 young Christian men, gave their lives for Jesus, I have been deeply moved by stories of Christians around the world who have paid with their lives for their testimony to Jesus. This video project for me was personal. Even in the research / production phase of this video, I was impacted on what I read and saw.  There are approximately 380 million Christians in the world in 2025, that are facing severe persecution, including being a martyr. One in seven Christians worldwide, are now facing persecution. Just a few years ago it was one in nine. (what might that ratio be in 2029!) It is so easy in our Western culture to be a Christian, but not as easy at it once w...
