In the ever-evolving world of digital storytelling, capturing breathtaking visuals is key to engaging audiences. At 3xM Academy, weāve noticed a trendāour most popular and highest-engagement content comes from drone footage. Thatās why we decided to give our aerial storytelling a face (or in this case, a propeller) by introducing Dougie the Drone!
Why Dougie?
The decision to make a drone our newest team member wasnāt just about brandingāit was about impact. Drone footage has transformed the way we tell stories, providing sweeping landscapes, immersive perspectives, and cinematic visuals that resonate deeply with viewers. Whether itās soaring over the ruins of Ancient Corinth or capturing the beauty of a remote village where discipleship is happening, Dougie allows us to visually transport our audience into the heart of the story.
Dougie in Action
Dougie isnāt just a mascot; heās a vital part of our productions. He plays a starring role in several key projects:
Apostle Paul in Ancient Corinth (History of the Bible Series):Ā Our upcoming documentary series on the historical context of Paulās ministry incorporates stunning drone footage from Greece. Aerial shots help bring the biblical world to life, offering perspectives rarely seen in traditional teaching materials.
3xM Academy Training Videos:Ā Dougie will make regular appearances in our training courses, particularly those focused on media and storytelling. At the end of each training video he will close out the film and invite watches to continue their educational journey.Ā Dougie will have a short feature, offering quick tips on drone filming, storytelling techniques, and even safety guidelines for drone pilots.
Mini Tutorials & Behind-the-Scenes:Ā In addition to being a visual highlight, Dougie will also educate. Weāll be releasing short tutorials on drone techniquesāhow to get smooth cinematic shots, best angles for storytelling, and even how drones can enhance ministry content.
The Power of Perspective
Drones provide a unique perspectiveāliterally. They offer an elevated view, allowing us to see the bigger picture, quite like how we approach ministry. Just as a drone rises above obstacles to capture a wider vision, our mission at 3xM Academy is to help ministries see beyond their immediate challenges and embrace new, innovative ways of discipleship through media.
Dougie represents more than just technologyāhe symbolizes creativity, engagement, and a fresh way to tell impactful stories. Weāre excited to see where Dougie takes us next (both literally and figuratively), and we canāt wait to share this journey with you!
Follow along as Dougie soars through biblical history, ministry training, and digital discipleshipāone flight at a time. Stay tuned for upcoming footage and tutorials from Dougie and the 3xM Academy team!
