The CRL Rights Commission is investigating the commercialisation of religion and the abuse of people's beliefs and has summoned several religious organisations to appear before them.All those summoned to the hearings were required to produce their ordination certificate, the church registration certificate, bank statements and the annual financial statements dating from 2012.An empty-handed Motsoeneng, popularly known as Mboro, who was the leader of the Incredible Happenings church, said he came to seek clarity on what the hearings were actually about.

He had last sent his lawyers to the proceedings and said he had heard that those who had failed to compile and hand over their documents would be jailed. He told the commissioners to do what they had to do."For my belief, I will be glad to go to jail. Even now, I can be taken there," Mboro said.It has previously been reported that Prophet Mboro claimed he could perform miracles."Now the headlines will be saying Mboro has R10m in his account.... Now they will know my strength and weakness... I want to protect myself, my church and my ministry so I have to look and consult thoroughly with my lawyers," he said.Sitting next to the pastor was his son who had his crèche backpack with him, playing by his side. 'Let us all play nice'Mboro sent him outside saying he did not want his son to be traumatised should his father be jailed."mission chairperson Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva gave Mboro a firm response."If you say that you are not going to give [those documents], you might as well have stayed at home.

The type of people that pull you in with such warmth and charisma, you feel like you’ve known them forever even if you’ve only just met them. We love that Tanner is the perfect gentleman, the romantic who hikes with a bottle of champagne in his backpack to pull out and surprise Alyssa, the slightly neurotic (we mean that in the best way, Tanner) cleaner, and meticulous planner who — Alyssa admitted — shouldered a lot of wedding planning because apparently he wears the organizing pants in the relationship (and of course, we see nothing wrong with that). And Alyssa is every bit the perfect, gorgeous counterpart: her father’s daughter, athletic and straightforward, doting, charming and frequently laughing (Tanner may also have something to do with this). A pretty all around amazing couple to spend time with, we think. We had a blast getting to know Alyssa and Tanner; and we find ourselves saying this frequently — Tanner and Alyssa being no exception – we really do enjoy being friends with the couples we work with. 

This is definitely one of those films we find ourselves laughing as we edit in the studio, reliving the day. Plus, these two know how to write loving, touching and hilarious vows, don’t they? Much gratitude to Holly Orr and the entire Paper Heart Events‘ team for a stunning evening as well as our skilled friends at Walter Wilson Photography, you guys were a treat to work with. And of course there are so many others to recognize: Bel-Air Bay Club (a gorgeous venue we recommend everyone check out) and its hard-working staff , the talented Mirror Mirror Beauty, ever-delicious Sweet Art Bake Shop for the tasty treats, the articulate prose of officiant Jeff Bruecker, and DJ Angel Hernandez, who rocked the house — a huge thanks to you guys and anybody else who helped make the evening a success, and our lives much easier. With that, we hope you enjoyed our last trailer for 2016, it’s been another great year at Threaded. Thanks to all who were a part of it. As we close in on the last few weeks of 2016, we’re excited that we can now share one of this year’s bigger projects with you.

In July, Mophie came to us and explained that they wanted to make a series that highlighted the intensive process of creating the next iPhone juice pack product after Apple releases a new phone. The result was a five-part video “transparency series” that examined every step of production — design, engineering, manufacturing, testing and shipping — and took Threaded Films across the country (Michigan) and world (China) through the course of the five months it took to plan, film and edit. This project was definitely a beast of an accomplishment, but we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Here is the fifth and final film in the series. And of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t share some stills from our escapades in China. VIZIO AudioLab at the Spectrum Ever feel like those consumer tests you see on TV are fake? Well, being on the other side of the camera we can actually guarantee that this one is legit. VIZIO hired us to shoot their Crave SmartCast Blind Speaker test at the Irvine Spectrum this fall.

No gimmicks, no tricks, just a room with covered speakers and a series of questions for your every day Irvites (Irviners? We’re still not really sure) at the mall to tell us which one they liked better. The results were pretty astounding. VIZIO Crave 360 outperformed the Sonos Play 1 seven times out of ten — granted (in honor of full transparency) the Sonos Play 1 costs $170 retail versus VIZIO’S Crave 360 at $250 retail, but most consumers we talked to said the price was worth the quality. And the VIZIO Crave Pro Multi-Room speaker did even better, outperforming the competing Sonos Play 3 NINE times out of ten. Pretty impressive, considering those are at pretty similar price points; the Crave Pro runs $300 whereas the Play 3 sells for $270 retail. Hanging out at the VIZIO Audio lab at the Spectrum on a sunny fall day made for a pretty fun shoot for us. Plus it was cool to see people’s honest reaction to a set of VIZIO products that seems to be pretty dang awesome (Christmas shopping anyone?).

But don’t take our word for it, check out what the Irvinetonians (maybe?) have to think in the final film below. Vanessa and Derek // “Obnoxious” in the Best Way You know how they say first impressions are everything? The story of how Derek and Vanessa met certainly bucks that trend. Derek met Vanessa at a bar with friends when, against his better judgement, he sloppily threw a cup of ice water at then-stranger Vanessa. The story of that night may have ended poorly but fortunately Derek and Vanessa’s doesn’t. A few weeks later, an embarrassed Derek and a slightly bitter Vanessa met up again. Any tension they had quickly melted when they quickly realized how much they had in common — their love of hockey, music, and good beer. Flash forward two years and here we are on their wedding day — the ice-water incident is of course nearly forgotten (well, at least forgiven). The vows that they wrote to each other were the perfect narrative to this teaser. We could think of no better way to describe Vanessa and Derek together — sincere, heartfelt, loving, and of course, a little sassy.

Derek about sums up the story of their relationship when he says he’s honored that Vanessa wanted to marry him forever because, in his words, “That’s a long time, and I’m pretty obnoxious.” Cup of ice water anyone? Congrats to these two, we had an amazing time sharing your day with you. And it was such a fantastic day; we loved working alongside the incredible likes of photographer Jenavieve Belair (we’ll do family dinner again one of these nights), florist Karen Barch Mallory, coordinator Michelle Maciel, DJ Shane Ysais DJ, Kristy Warner and Angela Smith for hair and makeup, Chad of The Socal Wedding Officiant and of course Stone Brewing Company (a fantastic place to visit, event or otherwise). Movie Stars and Red Carpets // VIZIO AFI FEST 2016 Ever wonder what goes into setting up a red carpet premiere in Hollywood? We have the low-down for you. This is our third year being part of the VIZIO team at the annual AFI Fest in Hollywood and every year it gets a little easier to manage the madness of a big premiere, though it certainly doesn’t get any less crazy out there.

This year’s finale of the AFI Fest was Patriots Day, a deeply moving film about the grisly 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing that killed three and wounded 264. Mark Wahlberg produced and starred in the film that dwells deeply on the effects of the tragedy and the response by his beloved hometown. It was an honor to speak with the cast and crew who had the hefty task of telling the stories of the victims, responders and all those touched so deeply by the horrific attack. After the red carpet parade it was a quick run to the editing room to cut together (well, Steve handled most of the dirty work of editing) the highlight piece before the movie finished. It was certainly a long day, but another fun one for the books. Shoutout to friend and photographer Alicia Mink for the killer photos you see in the slideshow below. Thanks to Katie at the BrandAmp for running point for us throughout the event, to all our friends at VIZIO, and a much more solemn thank you to those who were at any way a part of the difficult events that transpired in Boston three years ago, for all they endured.
