The husband and wife team of Donna Christensen and Paul Christensen recently returned from sunny Florida after producing a new long form video project for Malaco Records. The Concert, featuring the legendary Dorothy Norwood, was shot at one of Miami’s fastest growing congregations, the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Carol City. Ms. Norwood also recruited the award winning Miami Mass Choir to share the bill, as well as the Choir’s talented founder and director, Marc Cooper. Malaco’s Director of Gospel, Jerry Mannery, served as Executive Producer,
Paul and Donna Christensen produced the project with the assistance of their usual award winning “A TEAM” crew, Director Jerry Jacob, Video Engineer Sel Warren, Hand Held Cameraman Mike Filippi, and Fixed Camera Operator, Steve Cobb. Dave Landry, from New Orleans, assisted on Hand Held Camera along with Miami based Jib Operators, Robert and Michele Marquez. The local crew was completed with Ralph Marquez on Fixed Camera.
Miami based Comtel, Inc. provided remote video facilities, while local Grip and Lighting Director Marty Segal and his company, Marty’s Grip and Lighting, provided the look for the evening. Mobile Audio Recording Services (MARS), Muscle Shoals, AL, recorded the sound track, supervised by MARS Owner, Steve Lowney. Overdubs and mixing will be done at Malaco’s Jackson, MS based Studio by Chief Engineer, Jerry Masters. Sound Reinforcement services for the concert were furnished by Kleinz Sound, Miami, under the supervision of Ken Kleinecke.
The Live CD and Video are slated for a December 1999 release. Omega Productions has had the privilege of working on every project that Dorothy Norwood has done during the past five years .
