Herod's Temple Mount - 3D Information Videos

Since the initial release of the show case video, I have been working on separate videos which highlight specific areas of interest. These start with some of the elements where there are archaeological remains like Barclay’s Gate and Wilson’s Arch and then move inward toward the Temple where we can see more of the details of the chambers and Gates that make up the Temple Courts. I want to stress that almost all of the details are taken from Leen Ritmeyer’s Book “The Quest” and where there was insufficient information other sources like The Temple Institute and even Wikipedia were used. I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination and expect that there are things that I may have missed, words that I have mis-pronounced and even areas where I may be plain wrong. My goal in making this scene was not academic integrity but more to create a sense of an actual historic place that once existed, a New testament surrounding that would help us to visualise the location of the New Testament and the events that took place there. An example of how my image of a New Testament scene changed came when I made the Huldah gates, one of which is possibly the Gate Beautiful where Peter and John healed the lame man. I always imagined an English style open-air gate with posts set in the ground, to discover that the lame man would have sat at the entrance to an underground passageway was a real surprise. As you watch the video I would be interested to see if you have “revelation” moments too, do let me know if you do. There are a few “shout outs” as usual, Leen Ritmeyer of course who has been really helpful and even produced a blog talking all about the Bible Scenes Temple Mount project and Howard Conder who is always so encouraging and yet insistent that I do things as well as I can and don’t cut corners or settle for the mediocre (which I always want to do). He insisted that I go over to his studio where I spend half a day recording my voice and then he balanced the music for the final product (which will be unusual for me as I invariably “make do” with a £10 pair of headphone speakers followed by a 30-minute edit).
