Behind the Camera

Have you ever had a glimpse on what happens behind the scenes of your favorite television shows or movies? Have you ever experienced what's happening at the backstage of any production? Did you ever hear a story about what happens before a commercial is made?Most of us are more interested on what we see in front of the camera. Of course, it's the aesthetic pleasure that we seek. We get entertained by seeing our favourite actors do their stuffs or with the way the commercial scenes playback on our minds all day. Who wouldn't be? Where would the famous line "To see is to believe" come from if it's not universal for the human eye to focus on what it sees in front of it? But today, let me invite you to see what's happening behind the camera.Behind what you see in front of your screens is a production staff composed of people working out on how every scene will look good or how to air/present it to the audience. Even before the first scene you've watched in your favorite teleserye, a group of writers spent a long period of time brainstorming about the story line. A set of production people prepared the fantaserye set that you adore, the costumes of the actors that you're longing to wear, the theme songs that you hear as the cast is being introduced or the credits being rolled and even the make-up of the actors and actresses for you to continue to envy them. There is a director or set of directors who spent sleepless nights just to make the movie/TV material work as effective as it can be for the viewers to love it. Lots of efforts from a bunch of people were exerted for you to enjoy what you see now in the theatres or your television sets. But who takes the attention and credits most of the time? Those who are on the spotlight.In fact, there is more action and story behind the camera than what you see in front of you. In reality, there is a deeper wisdom and purpose than the circumstances you see or you are in today. Difficult relationship with your boss, you got engaged, a friend broke his promise, your daughter got a perfect score in her exams, you were giggling and laughing yesterday, then all of a sudden, a bad news drew the laughter away. These are what happen on the spotlight, what's behind the camera?Behind the camera is a circle of people who stayed with you from the moment they met you. Amidst the troubles and fun you're going through, you don't see them in the picture. These people love you, pray for you, remain loyal to you and will always be there for you. Before you got your first paycheck or lost your first job, a story line was written. Before you were conceived, the best filmmaker perceived that your story is a perfect material, wonderfully made. We don't notice it because we're busy looking at the things in front of us – our joys and pains.We focus on what we see. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1). Those who have faith focus not on what they see but on what's beyond the eye can see. Behind the camera are purpose, hope and the giver of hope: God – the Maker. If these are behind the camera, what more can you ask for? There is an assurance that whatever is happening as perceived by the naked eye, someone is working at the backstage making sure that your story will top the ratings, that you will come out victorious. Purpose, hope and God Himself – more than enough to keep us going.Voice Infinity is committed to be used for God's glory to speak of His goodness from now till eternity. It is our prayer that this blog will reach not only your computers, but also those who are looking for a purpose, losing their hope and in need of the Maker – God.
