Editing the Story of Phillip and the Eunuch

Описание: Appian Media's Behind the Edit: Episode 1

What does it actually take to turn 30 hours of footage into a compelling Bible documentary?

In the first episode of our Behind-the-Edit series, Craig Dehut, CEO of Appian Media and principal editor, pulls back the curtain on the post-production process for “Your Kingdom Come”, our upcoming 13-episode series on the book of Acts and the missionary journeys of Paul.

After an 18-day production trip to Israel, Turkey, and Greece, the team returned with footage from 25+ locations and over 30 hours of content. Craig takes us through the real process of editing inside Adobe Premiere—building a “story spine,” trimming dialogue, cleaning up audio, organizing multicam footage, and layering in B-roll to bring the biblical world to life.

This particular scene focuses on Acts 8 and the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, filmed near a spring outside Jerusalem, one possible setting for the baptism described in the Bible.

This isn’t our typical travel documentary episode—it’s a glimpse into the months of post-production that shape every scene.
