The DeenFather II update

The audio is being cleaned on The DeenFather II and soon after, Inshaa Allah, it will be uploaded. We returned from the ICSA conference Monday the 28th. We gave away free DawahWorks shirts to the youth & conducted interviews dealing with our soon to be filmed: POLYGYNOUSLY Speaking. Discussing the multiple wife issue. This is sure to be a hotly debated topic so get ready. We are gonna do it big DawahWorks style. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: TheDeenFather II & Usamah Expert (The early years)

As Salaamu alaykum,
Both Usamah Expert (The early years) & The DeenFather II have been edited. We are in the process of cleaning the audio for both as we seek to improve this Dawah project.
The Islamic Center of Irving (near Dallas) loves our effort & has requested that we assist them in their youth & Dawah programs. Alhamdulillah! Thousands of Muslims attend this Masjid.
I am waiting on a flash intro for The DeenFather II from J-Ansari (pop-locking henchman #2) before I upload it.
Usamah Expert (The early years) was filmed last Sunday at Masjid Luqman & Alhamdulillah, it was successful. Many Muslim youth participated... some too young to stand still. Lol!
Make du'ah for us as we make du'ah for our Ummah.

The DeenFather 2 delayed until FRIDAY 5-25-07

As Salaamu alaykum,
I regret to inform you all that DF2 has encountered some technical difficulties that requires that we re-shoot several scenes. DW's desire (bi-idh-nillah) is to improve technically, each video we produce for you.
In the meanwhile, DW is scheduled to shoot Usamah Expert (The Early Years) with an all kid cast this Sunday 05-20-07, 10am at Masjid Luqman. If you would like your child to participate, just show up. Inshaa Allah.
DW will have a booth at the ICNA-South conference on Sunday 05-27-07 in Houston.
We will be conducting on-the-spot interviews on several Islamic topics. Feel free to stop by & become an Islamic celeb...Lol!

DF2 update: wouldn't be life w/out it.

As Salaamu alaykum,
We ran into a couple issues while filming The DeenFather 2.
Firstly, Abu Idris suggested we film in the rain. We know that the rain comes by only the permission & command of Allah (swt). Alhamdulillah it rained... lol! The problem is that it rained on the first day of filming but not the second, therefore, the audio might reflect these two different weather conditions.
Secondly, bad lighting. My takes are so dark, I don't even cast a shadow (joke) Lol! I purchased 2 camera-mounted 300watt halogen lights with filters that did not arrive fast enough. Now I'm all darked up like "chocolate man". Can you say re-shoot?
I did record audio on a secondary device that I may be able to use instead. & I may be able to re-shoot my scenes myself.
Inshaa Allah, in any case, make du'ah for us as we make du'ah for our Ummah.

DeenFather II is scheduled to be filmed 5/14-15/07 in Dallas, Tx. with a (maashaa Allah) very pleasant surprise.
Also I will take another crack at another Believers Stand-Up taking every advice given through your comments.
Make du'a for us as we make du'a for our ummah.
As Salaamu alaykum.

PRISLAM editing 50% complete

Family & work has slowed the process lately, but Alhamdulillah! We are halfway there. I have cleared a few major work projects therefore DawahWorks should increase production by at least 2 videos a month.
The DeenFather II has been written & approved by the DW_Team and is scheduled to be filmed in 1 or 2 weeks.
MAKE DU'A FOR US AS WE MAKE DU'A FOR THE UMMAH.
