I've been working on the website design recently. The DP videos will also be available there. A page for each chapter of Part I is being designed in which the viewer can select which video to watch. Initially, I created a title list but this was NOT interesting to look at; it was not 'eye-catching.' I then switched to creating images like the ones pictured below. Each video will have a different image button (icon) to click on -in order to watch the video. Since there are around 90 videos for Exposition of the Divine Principle Part 1, I still have a lot of icon-making work to do.
Creating the Clothes in the DP Outreach Videos / PowerPoints
Many of the clothes (and people) have been created. Jesus' outer brown robe and inner garment was created by my wife. We purchased the fabrics at a retail store. My wife then cut and sewed garments for a doll (Charlton Heston from the Planet of the Apes). I took several camera pictures of the doll wearing Jesus clothes (see below). These pictures were then modified on a computer to help create the Jesus that appears in the DP videos.
Creating John the Baptist's clothes came from a photograph of a camel (pictured). I took pieces of the camel's hairy body and 'stitched' them together for John's garment.
In the older version of Jesus on the left, what prompted an 'upgrade,' was the unrealistic appearance of the robe. The newer version on the right, has a more luxurious and realistic Roman robe. It is hard to imagine the earthly historical Jesus wearing such clothing. I include it because this is a very popular version of Jesus' clothes assumed by many. I use this Roman clothing to depict the resurrected Jesus in his spiritual form.
The face of Jesus has also been revised. Features like the eyeballs were created separately so they can be moved around to make Jesus look to the right, left, up, down and forward.

These revisions mean going back over many PowerPoint files and replacing the images and then recording the video once more. The updated versions will always appear on the vimeo website and the new future website where the DP Outreach PowerPoints will be available to purchase (website address not yet released).

Wow, it's nice to be let in on the inner workings of these materials. I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on these. I especially appreciate the videos that maintain integrity of the DP wording, but do illustrate the point with diagrams very well.
you have made an eye catching appearances of the arts surely If I'll use this power point materials i could exemplify the best impression and the audience are expected to appreciate the ideas with keen interest. Good job!
