Top Gun…sort of.

Here’s the much anticipated video from this years Volunteer Appreciation Gala. I’m constantly amazed at what the Cross Point team pulls off. Thanks to Matt Singleton for his genius creativity on this one.

I also shot some behind the scenes footage which I hope to have up this weekend so stay tuned.

    Kudos to Matt for making an incredible video AND making “Top Gun” gayer, which I didn’t think was possible.

    :-p

    So I know you all are trying to convince everyone that you’re making these videos to entertain the volunteers and show appreciation…

    But admit it… you’re just acting out every childhood fantasy you’ve ever had. :)

    What’s next? Indiana Jones? (Maybe you could do Jaws and convince everyone it’s a sequel to Jonah and the Whale!)

    I’m just glad you guys didn’t do a take on the shirtless volleyball scene.. I can’t imagine any good coming out of that at all.

  31. Crystal Renaud August 29, 2008 at 1:41 am #

  32. Pete Wilson August 29, 2008 at 4:42 am #

    @kc, you know I would love that dude!

  33. wanita August 29, 2008 at 10:00 am #

    ‘holy cow’ that was hilariously cool! loved it all!

  34. Bill Renfrew August 29, 2008 at 10:40 am #

    I love the “heat off the tarmac” effect in some of those shots. Talk about going for it…Matt, you’re amazing. Great job to everyone involved!

  35. Lance August 30, 2008 at 9:05 am #

    Being a pilot I love this video. Some of my coworkers have been through this school, and all of us will stop what we are doing cold turkey if it is on TBS or TNT. I I may speak for every pilot in the US, Pete ‘that is the gutsiest move I have ever seen.”

    That’s AEWSOME wish i could have been there!! You all do some pretty cool things!!
