Simple idea here - the announcements are all given by mothers at TACF in honour of Mothers' Day.
See if you can spot the continuity error in Vero's announcement.

Note: the song at the start of the video is performed by a comic duo that I found online. The song gets very silly after the cut I performed on here...

Ha ha ha ha... Classic. Paul McDonald makes the perfect hero for this movie. I think my favourite bits are Jack getting shot on the roof (and then re-appearing in a later shot), Junior and the School of Champions manuals, and the silly joke with Ben on the phone to Paul "Nooooooooo! It's April 30 to May 3rd!"

This is what I really wanted for this video - not a direct rip-off of Die Hard's trailer (like I later did with the Matrix), but just something that would give the feel of an action movie. I'm still very pleased with it.

This is the first video that Ben Jackson made graphics for. After this, I think I've had him make me a little something pretty much every week. He is rather good at it...
This video is soundtracked with a track by the Crystal Method. The vocal sample on the track is Billy Graham, of all people.
The voiceover for the trailer is provided here by Fred Wright.

Interestingly, this video was not shown at TACF Airport. It was decided that the scenes showing guns were not going to go down particularly well with some parents of younger children, so it didn't air. Apparently it was very well received elsewhere.

I rather like this one. I think it's a little more subtle than some of the others, and I'm sure that only Vero, Amanda and myself get some of the jokes. I especially like the scene in the baptistry.

I was thinking more about the music that I was using for the announcements by this point, and chose my favourite track from Jon Patell's debut album http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif. The track is called The Sea.

I cut a shot from the end of this video. Originally, when Amanda prays for Vero, Vero starts manifesting, and falls over, but I took it out in favour of their excitement at Vero getting the interpretation for the tongues.
