Video Dubbing Projects
Bible Story and Scripture Movies in Any Language
We have resources to help you overlay your language into many different titles. Due to copyright issues, each video project needs to be initiated and approved through our International Media Project Coordinator. Our pre-made video shells allow recording specialists to synchronize lines of script with the video timeline. Also, in considering a video for your language project, we suggest first evaluating the material to see if it fits in with the target culture. It is essential that you read through the IMS Shell Video Manual as you consider a Scripture based video.

The Seven Days of Creation — ENGLISH
This exciting new production blends beautiful video photography with the narration of the Creation taken directly from Genesis. Translation teams can download the resources to produce this video in their language. The Seven Days of Creation video is a single-narration production.
Parables of Jesus
Parables of Jesus is a one-hour video which includes 7 parables of Jesus. This video, produced by International Media Ministries, has been developed into a single narration dubbing format. Parables include the Dinner, the Good Samaritan, the Lost Son, the Manager, the Midnight Visitor, the Treasure and the Pearl and the Unmerciful servant. Each story helps the viewer understand the customs and culture behind the parables while presenting the life changing words of Jesus. Language teams may select the parables they want to dub or dub all seven. Whatever they choose can be formatted as one project on DVD and/or individual MP4s for each parable.
The LUMO Gospel of John
The LUMO Gospel of John was filmed in Morocco. It is an authentic, visual and artistic representation of the Holy Land of 2000 years ago. As a "voice-over" narration, the viewer can focus on the words of the Gospel as the background images and dramatization reinforce them. This version of John is now available.
The LUMO Gospel of Mark
The LUMO Gospel of Mark is a new and highly versatile film produced for a variety of global audiences. Designed to promote biblical literacy in both churched and non-churched groups, it is a product of the latest historical research. The filmmakers strive to accurately depict first century Palestine and present a non-westernized Jesus.
NOTE: Genesis, Luke, and The Gospel of John video dubbing projects each include an audio shell, which is a quick and useful expansion of the project. The audio shell imports the audio files created in the video dubbing and uses them to create a separate audio project. The only additional recordings required for the Audio Version are the audio bridges, which are needed to add missing information. It is also permissible to use the audio recording of the script from any of the four LUMO Gospel videos, with or without music and effects, as a stand-alone product. More explanation is found in Appendices A and F of the Shell Video Manual.
