Open Fire Goes to Hollywood

Open Fire (Dad, Matthew, and Christian) recently spent two days in Hollywood
at a Film Gear Expo at the world-famous Paramount Studios. Among the
highlights was the offer Open Fire received to assist in the filming of an
upcoming series of films for Campus Crusade for Christ.

The view from our hotel room.

There was every imaginable piece of film equipment at this Expo.
Cameras that cost $12,000 and cameras that cost 1.5 million. This
modified 4-wheeler is used in scenes where the actor is moving
(in a car, running, chase scenes, etc.)

This is a helicopter used to film aerial shots. A single shot can cost $40,000!

Oh, and when/where will you be shooting for Crusade?

Please give all the details of the Crusade shoot...when it occurs. SO, happy you guys are in the position to do things like that. I fully expect you to have gotten ALL that cool camera equipment. You can come to Texas to practice with it. I wish I could hear all the stories of how it went.
Love you,
