Pre-Pulse Party 2007

All are welcome as we come together to witness an adventure into what is coming for all believers in these last days.

Cloud Ten Pictures (producers of the Left Behind series) presents:
THE APOCALYPSE SERIES
A sequence of four stories that take us through a realistic vision of the tribulation.

Beginning on a low budget “Apocalypse” (1998) tells the story of a lost people in chaos in the midst of
the rapture. On the heels of the first films overwhelming success came “Revelation” (1999), then
“Tribulation” (2000), and “Judgment” (2001). As the budgets grew, so did the star power yielding such
actors as Jeff Fahey, Carol Alt, Gary Busey, Margot Kidder, Howie Mandel, Corbin Bernsen, and Mr. T.

Over the course of that weekend in August, we will see extended clips from each film, as well as discuss
and dissect the possibilities and theories developing in each story. In addition to the films we will also
have a great time of fellowship with each other through praise & worship, scripture, prayer,
lessons, food, and of course - The WORLD PULSE FESTIVAL 2007 featuring
Krystal Meyers, Superchic[k], Sanctus Real, Kutless, Third Day, and Michael W. Smith!

2006 Year-in-Review

2006 was once again a booming year for TMG Productions.  

Fresh off the Timothy Michael CD release of “Everything and Nothing all at Once”, the year kicked off to a good start with a warm online welcoming of Tim’s John Denver tribute song/video “The Water is Singing”.  Tim produced a record 7 music videos for the ‘Everything’ album, including “This World” from the Gilleand Brothers forthcoming movie “Extraordinary”.  Early on in 2006, Timothy Michael compiled all his new music videos with all his past videos and released “Everything and Nothing – the complete music video collection” on DVD containing all 25 clips. 

Work on “Extraordinary”, the long-awaited original action/drama full-length movie from the GBs, continued on into its second year of work into the post-production phase.  Throughout the year, the brothers worked on finalizing special effects, final editing, voice-over work, and sound effects.  The project is by-far the biggest project to date for the brothers as displayed in the exciting DVD Trailer and completed First 7 Minutes of the movie released online this year.  The movie is expected to be completed Spring, 2007.  The brothers also released three new short films this year – parts 2 & 3 of ‘The Continuing Story of Stewart A. Pehd’ and an improve comedy sketch ‘Questions Only’.

2006 was also the year of YouTube!  By the end of the year, TMG Productions has uploaded over 80 original videos - amassing hours of free content ranging from Timothy Michael music videos, to Gilleand Brother short films and promos, and much more - with a year end total of over 72,000 views for our videos.  Some of the most viewed were TMG original fan videos to Superchick’s ‘We Live’ (13,021), a Dawson’s Creek comedy montage (6,9888), a Michael Jackson unreleased fan video (6,351), and much more.  The most viewed original TMG Productions artist video was to Timothy Michael’s rendition of “I Can Only Imagine” (3,960).

This year also saw some changes in the More Than Song band line-up.  Heading into their third year, Tim’s Christian band lost bassist Nathan Smith to the Army.  They spent half the year re-working their line-up and by summer had landed Jeff Kamp on guitar and Brent Kattau on drums.  Tim moved to bass.  The band performed at about a dozen performances throughout the summer and fall including Mishawaka Summerfest, Freedom in Christ, Rhythms of Grace, Sonlight Fellowship, and more.  The changes in lineup encouraged a change in their style and sound.  The band moved from a softer worship sound to a more upbeat performance style with powerful covers like Chris Tomlin’s “Not to Us” and David Crowder’s “Revolutionary Love”.  After the band’s final performance of the year Tim’s wife Marcy also announced that she was leaving the band to focus more on her own music.  The band is currently looking to fill that spot.  The band also suffered a blow when they too quickly lost friend, founder, and co-lyricist Ken Henderson to cancer.  Ken wrote the words to the band’s “Freedom in Christ” song and also organized the yearly music festival with the same name.  He will be missed, and the band will continue to honor his life and ministry through his music.

Tim continued his own ministry at Sonlight Fellowship Wesleyan Church as their weekly worship leader this year.  He also used his affiliation with the church to host a unique worship program called “The Experience”.  The Experience was an under-wraps project Tim felt led to organize that put an emphasis on the community and corporate worship aspects of the church.  The program featured live worship music from More Than Song, a hilarious skit with Tim & Dave, a moving open testimonies time, and a special Q&A session with the pastor.  Tim and the church are currently discussing a second Experience for sometime in 2007.

For Tim, 2006 also saw him and his wife Marcy turn 27 (another notch closer to 30!!) – does that mean we have to start acting like adults some time soon??  Michael turned 3 to an exciting Cars B-day party!  And Tim left his Night School teachers assistant position of 5 years, to become a substitute for the South Bend Library system.  2006 also saw the spread of MySpace.com to the entire family: Tim, Marcy, Andy, David – and special sites dedicated to More Than Song, the GBs, and Timothy Michael’s solo music (featuring the first ever digital download pay service for Tim’s music).  This year, we also re-vamped TMGproductions.net into a blog-style news layout.

Overall, 2006 was an exciting and developing year - and with the long-awaited upcoming release of “Extraordinary”, a second ‘Experience’, a demo recording from More Than Song, and new music from Marcy – 2007 promises to be even more exciting.  Happy New Year everyone, and as always – stay tuned!

The Experience: Skit

Here is the skit that Dave and Tim performed at THE EXPERIENCE. It is 8 minutes in length and yes, features the first live in-person appearance of Stewart A. Pehd.

Timothy Michael - “Something Beautiful” music video

Filmed after More Than Song’s Saturday night rehearsal for The Experience. “Something Beautiful” is a Newsboys cover song from Tim’s EP “GOING”. The video was directed and edited by David Gilleand for DWG Pictures.

More Than Song rehearsal footage

This is footage from More Than Song’s rehearsal for The Experience at Sonlight Fellowship in South Bend, IN on Dec. 2, 2006. This fly-on-the-wall video includes outtakes of discussions and run-throughs of Newboys “I Am Free” and Chris Tomlin’s “Forever”.

Quite an Experience

Well, that happened.  It was a crazy, hectic, fun, exciting, challenging, tiring, motivational, and moving weekend! 

 

Saturday afternoon was my son’s 3-year old birthday party.  We had a great time with friends and family, and Michael was showered with gifts.  It was a “CARS” Movie theme.  Cars were everywhere.  One person found an old cooler full of matchbox cars in the attic of a new house she bought, and gave those to him - so yeah, he was in heaven!  We got him a CARS bed, poster, and the movie itself.  He also got CARS blankets and a pillowcase for the bed.  He got books, puzzles, more cars, a CARS lamp, huge Spider-man toys, a lightsaber - just all kinds of things.  We had a really good time, it was a great success…. and of course, I will update you all with video shortly.

 

Saturday evening was a full-out rehearsal and set-up for THE EXPERIENCE, to take place Sunday night.  My band, MORE THAN SONG, met at the church and we had a great rehearsal, the sound was incredible, and everything just seemed to fall into place.  After the guys left, my brother Dave showed up to practice our skit, and then we shot a new Timothy Michael music video which he is currently editing.  (coming soon…)  I also filmed some footage at the band rehearsal which I will let you all see soon!  We were at the church till almost 1 in the morning.  I got 5 hours of sleep and then it was on to Sunday!

 

Sunday was church in the morning, a peaceful restful afternoon, and then back to the church at about 5 to get final preperations in order for The Experience.  We got everything in place, and sound set by 6.  We were helped out by Chad on sound.  The lighting was in place and looked great.  We really only suffered one blow, and that was the video projector was acting up on us again.  We were able to show the powerpoint on it, but the video was going to have to be cut.  Luckily I chose a video that didn’t NEED to be seen, only heard, so I decided to go that route.

 

And then it was THE EXPERIENCE.  The band was right on, we were told it was the best we’ve sounded yet - which is good, means we keep improving.  The skit with Dave was hilarious (and was videotaped).  The video, the testimony time, and the Q&A were just as powerful and moving as I prayed they would be.  Overall, the evening was a success, and I was very happy with the way it turned out.  We had about 50 people attend, from a few different churches.  I also gave away about 15 of my “Sonlight Experience” CDs.  I will be uploading some pics and vids from this Experience soon.  A special THANK YOU to everyone that was involved in helping make this such as success.
