Millionaire Who Went To Jannah

Reading time: 4 – 7 minutes
Round this time last year I completed principal photography of the DiscoverU event “The Millioniare Who Went to Jannah.”
About two weeks ago I completed the final cut of the seminar editing. In 10 days you’re about to witness the worldwide release of the entire program.
To keep updated on the program itself, click the image below:
The concepts taught in the program are the same concepts laid down to me when I first took coaching with Sensei. Those principals helped me establish Leechon and the projects I’m involved in. Except now its laid down in seminar form and easy to follow practical steps.
STORY BEHIND THE PRODUCTION
FEB 2009 -
Producing the video for this program was a bit of a challenge. Not only was I attending, I was also producing the videos for it. There was no way I was going to be able to attend, take notes and manage a three camera shoot, all at the same time.
I had a number of production challenges that I needed to over come:
- (1) I didn’t know any trained professionals that would be up for helping with the shoot.
- (2) The HD camera I borrowed didn’t have a power cable with it.
- (3) I had prepared a camera dolly for the shoot, but I didn’t build the track yet.
- (4) I was going to be shooting in a location that I hadn’t had the opportunity to really scout before the event. Therefore I only had a rough idea as to how I’d light the room for shooting.
I called a contact who knew people well in Toronto. They were able to make a few calls for me. Within the week I had enough people to man each of the cameras as well as assist with the management of the footage – all of it shot on solid state media. Canon HG10 + two Canon HF100.
I recorded a training video to get the volunteers familiar with the process of shooting and principals they need to follow.
Once the human resource was taken care of, I went on trekking through downtown Toronto with my host from one camera electronic shop to another. We came across Harvey’s Photo and Video (I think that’s the name). They were literally the ONLY electronics store that had the Canon HG 10 power adapter.
Afterward, my host took me to the local hardware store where I bought a few PVC pipes to work as the dolly track. After some quick measuring and handy dandy saw, I had my dolly track ready to roll.
Finally the evening before the event, we went out to Vistek (rental store) and picked up the lights I had made a reservation for prior to flying into Toronto. We spent the better part of the night setting up and making sure everything was the way we wanted it for shooting.
After the first day, volunteers had a hang of what they needed to do exactly and I was able to simply sit back, relax and attend the seminar.
Here are some pics from the seminar itself:
NOV 2009 -
It had been about 9 months since the production of the seminar had taken place. There was no initial urgency for delivering the content so I pretty much sat on the recording until folks over at DiscoverU said that they want to release it. Thus, post production began.
FEB 2010 -
Editing a seminar is a pain in the butt. It’s not a creative venture. It’s a matter of understanding the process and repeating it over and over until the whole thing is done (something I cover in secrets to video production).

WHAT’S NEXT?
Certification!
The DiscoverU Coaching Certification followed the Millionaire event. Now I have the behemoth of a seminar to edit. 90 hrs of content. Yikes!

You’ve probably heard about the unfortunate news of the recent bombing attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound airline jet on Christmas Day by Nigerian terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
Turns out, in one of the news coverage videos they played the trailer I produced for AlMaghrib back in December 2007. The trailer plays from 2:00 – 2:26

I hope that this doesn’t affect the good work that people at AlMaghrib and the students are doing.
Seriously, I don’t understand what people like Umar Farouk Abdulmatallab are thinking. They’re not helping the Muslims or society. They’re simply making lives as Muslims harder.

The above promo is a sneak peak at the content of the series.
The first DiscoverU workshop that I ever attended was “Live Your Dreams” back in April 2006. This was just after I had completed my 1-on1 coaching sessions with Muhammad Alshareef – which resulted in a chain of actions that led to Leechon being born.
In June 2009 I got the opportunity to share the benefit of the experience with others by helping produce the workshop in an online video series format. Producing this particular video series was quite a challenge, mainly because the person who had shot the video delivered it in a very peculiar format, making the post-production more difficult than expected.
The other challenge was getting the video’s to interface properly with the current members area design. After a few hrs of tinkering this morning, I was able to get the layout to accept the videos. All I have to say is I love CSS when it comes to site design. It makes design very flexible.
The good news is that the project is done and this seminar is being launched online in video form. Inside you’ll find 12 Chapters that consist of over 480 minutes of video content. For those people who purchase this online video set, I pray that you benefit.
I wish my coach and mentor the best of success in this life and the next. He’s inspired myself and many others. May Allah-swt bless him to share in the reward that others make as a result of his inspiration. Ameen.
I’d love to hear back from you letting me know how you benefited.
