The Photo Drama of the Bible

[michelle]

Since 2003 I’ve been producing free 3D Bible animations as part of my personal Bible study. My first project was Solomon’s temple: ( https://www.bibliaprints.com/free-bible-animations).
 

For the last two years I’ve been preparing for another personal Bible study project: 

The Photo Drama of the Bible

The goal is to illustrate, in 4K resolution, all 31,100 verses of Scripture and to create a cinematic video for each verse. The videos will be bundled by Bible chapter. I’ve started with the book of Isaiah and am releasing the visuals in step with our weekly Bible reading. 

As a bonus, you can watch the videos with NWT audio streaming from a link from jw.org. The NWT audio is NOT hosted on our servers:  

Here is the link:

https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-1/

Please Note: "The Photo Drama of the Bible" is hosted on bibliaprints.com, that is my Bible micro-printed on one poster business website. All content for "The Photo Drama of the Bible" videos and images are FREE to download.

(Just as a preview, I've just attached a sample quick-time video and sample images of Isaiah Chapters 1 and 2. The full resolution images and full video at normal speed can be found at the same link as above: https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/chapter-1/)

Wow! Thank you for making this. This is the easiest I've ever paid attention to the bible reading and I'm going to continue using this each week. Well done!

It would be so great if it would be possible to change audio stream (which you say is streamed directly from jw.org) from english to any other available language, but I assume it would be technically difficult?

Hi Igor

I actually just had another request for French audio. 

If there is a big enough demand in the future, multiple language options will definitely be provided!

It would involve adjusting the video duration of each verse to suit the timing for each different language. And then making a new dropdown option on the website for different language options. It can be done, but I will need a team to help me as I wouldn't be able to manage it on my own. 

I'm looking for ways to get extra brothers involved in this project. I'm thinking of getting another team to start at Genesis. (Any volunteers on jwtalk?)😉

What language were you thinking of Igor?

[Osprey]

I will contact you in DM

What is the translation that is being read? It is not the New World Translation.

Good question, Jerry. I believe the reference relates to 2001Translation.org which is a group of volunteers claiming to be committed to providing an accurate and clear translation.

 

[Osprey]

Hmm, was it not said that audio is from jw.org??

It seems that the written text is from 2001 translation. Haven't read the texts of the 2001 bible so not compared it, but the NWT audio is not the 2001 translation.

This is a comparison of the two bibles at Isaiah 2:1-4

 

This is what Isaiah the son of Aʹmoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: 2 In the final part of the days, The mountain of the house of Jehovah Will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, And it will be raised up above the hills, And to it all the nations will stream.3 And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. (NWT)

 

¹These are the words that came to IsaiAh (son of Amoz) regarding Judah and JeruSalem.

²In the last days,
The Mountain of [Jehovah] will be seen,
And the Temple of God will be over the hills,
Raised above the highest of mountains,
And all the nations will go there.

³Many nations will go there and say:

‘Come, let’s ascend the mountain of Jah…
Let’s go to the Temple of Jacob’s God,
For there, He will show us His way,
And that’s the way we will go.’

Then, Law will come out of Zion,
And the Word of the Lord from JeruSalem.
⁴He’ll judge in the midst of the nations,
And he will correct many peoples.

Then they’ll cut their swords into plowshears,
And [shape] their spears into sickles…
[Against other] nations, they won’t raise their swords,
Nor will they learn war anymore. (2001 ttranslation)

there are two options - which one did you click?

Hi All

As you know, we cannot us NWT text or audio as it is copyrighted, so the videos posted here on jwtalk do not have NWT audio.

So I use the 2001translation.org Bible translation, it's the best Copyright Free, Open Source translation I could find. (uses Jehovah, no trinity, stake instead of cross...)

However, you do have the option to watch the videos with NWT audio by going to my website: https://www.bibliaprints.com/bible/isaiah/

The NWT audio is streamed directly from jw.org, so there are no copyright issues.

I obviously recommend the NWT, much better than 2001translation.org!

Any more questions please feel free to ask me.

Christian Love
Michael

[Friends just call me Ross]

Thank you for sharing all of your amazing efforts with the rest of us, Brother Michelle. 🥰

 

I have never enjoyed my Bible reading more than when doing so through your Photo Drama.

 

We are constantly encouraged to visualize the texts we are reading and to meditate on them.

Your project allows us to do this.

 

I have watched all nine of your Photo Drama episodes and I fully intend to re-watch them over and over again.

 

I hope you will continue to share more visual chapters with us, as your personal Bible study continues. 💜👍👍
