My friend Jason Madden, who was the youth pastor at New River Fellowship in Franklin, TN for a while when I lived there, recently sent me a link to his video on YouTube and explained that he's been chosen to audition for a new reality TV show called "TONTINE." TONTINE is described as "the biggest prize in Reality TV history"... $10 MILLION DOLLARS. To hear Jason's humorous story, I encourage you to watch the video above and if you have a YouTube account (or wouldn't mind quickly signing up for one), vote for him by adding this video to your favorites (click the red heart next to SAVE), "Add to your Playlists", and/or leave a comment.
The person with the highest views/rating/favorites/and comments will win $10,000 and be on the show. Then that person and 14 more contestants will spend 100 days in the TONTINE Challenge which spans all 7 continents! Jason is contestant #100303.

Snakes on a Couch
Click to Play
Okay, a fun and silly little video that we made as part of the Freshman Orientation "Couch Olympics" this past August. The scenario is that we are given a couch from the youth room at church to do anything we want to it while taping a video. The trick is that we only have about 90 minutes to brainstorm an idea, travel to the shooting location(s), shoot everything (no editing) and return back to the church. We were a little late getting back, but I think it was well worth it. All the shots were strictly one-take and the acting was pretty improvisational. It's really silly, but really funny! :-)
(Note: I did edit this version a little afterwards to clean up some of the choppy transitions and added in the opening title shot. Thanks Mark for the snake footage!)
