Original we had thought to use something from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir but, knew there would be limitations as we wanted to avoid any of their Christmas presentations.
See the original post on the topic.
So as we research more we found the number of options for the Mormon Tabernacle choir to be a bit limited. You have a historic Nauvoo presentation and some type of oratorio piece and a DVD chronicling their summer tour in the mid west. So the options were limited to say the least. As we checked out some of the video clips from YouTube.com we began to see that most if not all of these would not work very well. The idea was good but, it would not work very well. Who really wants to see the choir singing. Not enough scenes of other stuff. So we had to go back to the drawing board.
That is when my wife remembered something by Elder Uchtdorf that is entitled "Happily Ever After". In this talk he presented at a young women's conference recently he talks about having our own happily ever after.
Turns out there are two version of the talk. One is a shorter clip with only part of his talk and a lot of extra images etc, and the other is basically his whole discourse with a minor amount of additional footage.
Shorter Version
Longer Version
The Longer version is wonderful and would fill the time as we need it but, it can be a bit dry for some of the non-members and less actives we will have present. The shorter version is excellent but, being shorter would require that we Include some other clips as we project to have a good 15 minutes of time we need to fill. We'll have multiple people changing cloths and since my daughter wears a brace she will take longer to get ready. Extra consideration has to be made so a longer video is needed or several shorter ones with someone willing to start each up.
Some other ones we found while hunting around are - create (a cutie clip to inspire women), True identity (utilizing the Hans Christian Andersen story of the ugly duckling), and You Matter to God ( including clips about the universe and how we are know personally to God the Father).
I think with all these various clips will provide us with enough material to fill in the time needed. Also the messages are all very uplifting and will maintain the spirit that should be present at a baptismal program.
I'm including the other video clips for your viewing pleasure.
Now I just have to make sure we can get the clips into a format that will work on a standard DVD machine. There is a great program called YouTube video down loader. You can acquire it for free off of Download.com
I also found a tutorial that indicates a program called DVD Flick (also available at download.com) can be used to package up various video clips and make them usable in a DVD player. I acquired the free program and soon will be sure if it will work. If it does not work I'll have to go back to the drawing board or have a laptop present to show the movies.
Create
True Identity
You Matter to God
We thoroughly enjoy the talks by Elder Uchtdorf. His messages are so timely and they can work in many situations with member and non-member alike. I even saw a comment that someone used a clip with Elder Uchtdorf during Sunday school at an Evangelical church. That shows how powerful they are.
