The Nativity Star shining its light over Bethlehem, announcing Christ's birth. This media collection, designed for the most part to have a realistic look and feel, features twinkling stars and variations with and without the Bethlehem star, gossamer clouds floating past, and light beams shining forth. Use multiple versions in conjunction for effect. For instance, fade slowly from a version without the Christmas star to one including it to make an appearance. Or fade in the shine effect with a powerful song-ending key change during a song in a Christmas program for greater punch and emphasis.
Star of Wonder loops make excellent "video scenery" used during Christmas dramas or musical calling for a star filed and Bethlehem star...an effect not easily pulled off even if you have the equipment/budget to do it otherwise! TIP: If you use multiple screens, project on one screen a loop with the Christmas star and use a loop without it on the other screen(s) for a long stretch of night sky. Flip loops horizontally/vertically to change orientation or diminish repetition.
The "Why He Came" mini-movie, featuring a music track with "O Holy Night," reminds viewers of Christ's purpose for coming to earth, to die on a cross. The similar "Star and Cross" Loop fades back and forth using a cross overlaying the Bethlehem star. Both work very well during communion or as transitional elements between songs.
