- the videographer hired to create the videos, Brian Urbanek, is a member at Our Savior, Grafton, Wis.? Urbanek notes, "I was so excited about this project from the start because I love the idea of blending all of these different types of art together—worship music, hymnody, poetry, illustration, animation, filmmaking, etc. What an incredibly neat way to praise our God who gave us all of these art forms as gifts."
