THROUGH THE LENS

Daystar Film exists to create content that will change lives. Our passion is to combine the best equipment with creative expression to expand God’s Kingdom on a global scale. We are more than storytellers. We are the hands reaching out to lift others up. With every project, our goal is not only to entertain, but also inspire you to look beyond the here and now to see the big picture, and your role in it. Our hope is that you’ll seek God for yourself. The path that leads to Him will always take you to the right answer.

FIELD PRODUCTION

In 2016, our Daystar Film team traveled from Los Angeles, California to Providence, Rhode Island to the Canadian Rockies to capture testimonies, cover live events, and share an inspiring love story–all with you in mind. Our passion to advance God’s Kingdom always keeps us searching for more opportunities to shine the light of the Gospel to the world. Here’s a look at the many the places we went to bring hope, encouragement, and joy to our viewers across the globe.

DALLAS, TX

It’s official. We love Dallas. This great city provided the perfect location to film so many projects including, the documentary “Supernatural Encounters” featuring Evangelist Todd White.

TORONTO, CANADA

Innovative, creative and brilliant are all words accurately describing designer Ines Di Santo. We met up with this incredible woman to film her inspiring story and capture the process of creating Rachel’s dream wedding dress.

FORT WORTH, TX

Tens of thousands came to the Fort Worth Convention Center as we partnered with Gateway Church to bring our viewers all the energy and excitement of the Pink Impact women’s conference.

ORLANDO, FL

We traveled with Marcus Lamb as he preached a special message entitled, “Burn The Ships” for Bishop T.D. Jakes at the International Pastors and Leaders Conference.

KELLER, TX

In an effort to expose the harsh reality of domestic violence, we worked with several actors on location to capture the despair and hopelessness of women trapped in this deadly cycle of abuse.

ALBERTA, CANADA

The love story of Rachel Lamb and Joshua Brown was on display as they stood surrounded by the beauty of God’s creation in the Canadian Rockies.

GRAPEVINE, TX

Planetshakers Church Senior Pastor, Russell Evans, joined us to share his “Let’s Go” story for Awakening 2016.

As a featured artist on the “Marcus Lamb & Friends” CD, Perry Stone sat down with us for an interview to talk about the power of revival.

PROVIDENCE, RI

The atmosphere of the Awakening Conference was electric at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence Rhode Island as our team captured thousands on fire for God and ready for revival.

JAMESTOWN, RI

While in Rhode Island, we couldn’t pass up flying our drone alongside the third oldest lighthouse in America, the historic Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown.

MALIBU, CA

The scenic beauty of the California coast at El Matador Beach proved to be an amazing location to film for our testimony featuring model and actress, Lori Livingston.

SOUTHLAKE, TX

We teamed up with Gateway Church to bring the backstage live stream experience to life at the Gateway Student Conference.

EQUIPMENT EXPANSION

Dell Precision 7910
Workstations

With recent camera upgrades, we knew it was time to get the hardware to match. Purchasing 10 new Dell workstations for our editors has given them the tools to more quickly and efficiently create content for all of our original programs.

Flame Premium

In addition to new hardware, we also got the latest in finishing software known as Flame Premium. This upgrade has opened the door to new possibilities in post production, providing our team with the ability to design more advanced graphics, create interactive 3D elements, color correct at faster rates, and give every project a more polished, professional look.

Autodesk Burn

As we processed more and more high resolution video in 2016, it was clear that an upgrade was needed to improve the efficiency of our post production workflow. That improvement came in the form of Autodesk Burn nodes which enables our team to not only utilize high end finishing tools on each project, but also complete those assignments much quicker.

ROE Visual Black
Onyx LED

The stunning imagery we’re creating thanks to upgrades in hardware, software, and video processing can now be beautifully displayed in high resolution on the 144 LED panels we purchased. These provide an opportunity for new levels of creativity and flexibility in set design for all of Daystar’s original programming.

LIVE & SPECIAL EVENTS RECAP

Peace for the Weary

I have a long history of insomnia. After many years of struggling with this condition, I decided to accept it as a lifelong sentence. Several weeks ago, I was flipping through the channels late at night when I suddenly stopped on Daystar. The program playing at the time was called “Reflections,” and featured beautiful scenery set to soft, gentle melodies. I’m not usually one to tune in to this kind of thing, but I couldn’t change the channel. The peace I felt as I sat staring into the TV screen was overwhelming, so I laid back and shut my eyes thinking that I would just listen awhile before turning it off. The next thing I knew, it was morning. I looked over at the clock and realized that I had slept six hours straight, which is something I haven’t done without a sleep aid in years! Since that time, I’ve started recording Reflections and play it each night at bedtime. My sleep is now consistent and regular. Praise God! Daystar, please continue airing this program. I know it’s a blessing to so many like me who’ve battled sleeplessness.
