Paul Christensen and his wife Donna Christensen recently returned from shooting and recording a new television special for Verity (Jive/Zomba) Records artist, Fred Hammond, in support of his new best selling CD release, Purpose by Design. The project, 
planned as a Pay for View Special with a summer release, was shot in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel and Resort, during the annual Bobby Jones Artist’s Retreat. Joining Hammond as musical guests were Verity artists, the Colorado Mass Choir and Malaco Records artists Men of Standard.
Verity’s Director of Gospel and Hammond’s Record Producer, Paul Wright III, served as Project Producer. Omega Productions was recruited by Wright because of the company’s award winning 27 year history. Hammond is an award winning artist and producer who has become known as one of the most talented architects of gospel funk and groove. He is well known for the 1998 release, Pages of Life, Chapters I & II, a Double Platinum CD and soundtrack taken from Omega Production’s last video for the artist.
For this production, the Christensen’s brought in seasoned Director Clark Santee, AD Curt Casassa and members of the award winning Omega crew, Jerry Jacob, Mike Filippi, Don Warren and Steve Cobb, along with locals, Stuart Cane, Bob Cadagan, Scott McClain, Randy Farrow, Tony Kramer, B. J. Scahill, Brian Milovich and Angel Vasquez. Las Vegas based Century Productions, provided remote video facilities, while Lighting Designer, Mark “Miyagi” Meana of Odyssey Lighting, Detroit, contracted the lighting and look that made the project such a success. In addition, Guy Charbonneau, Le Mobile, Los Angeles, completed a 48 track digital recording for the soundtrack.
The project will be edited into the fore-mentioned summer release Pay for View special, as well as a Long Form Video.
