Anybody want to jump out of a Huey helicopter in Atlanta?

Next Tuesday is the opening shoot for my Vietnam War film, Point Man (you can read the thread about it here.) We're renting a Huey helicopter in south Atlanta for a couple of key shots - we'll have it landing and unloading a bunch of fully-outfitted GIs into the LZ.

Until I hear back from a couple of investors, we're pretty underfunded, so I'm hoping to attract a few people who would be interested in jumping out of the chopper in the movie in full gear, with IMDb and rolling credits. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you are interested, we're raffling off a chance to get in on that scene - any support pitched behind the campaign this week gets turned into raffle tickets. I'll draw them Saturday - winner comes down to Atlanta with us to jump out of the chopper, featured below. I'll cover your meal on the day.

Thanks to anyone who's interested - you won't find a cooler raffle prize, probably ever, and every dime goes towards getting the film made.

Now stop reading and go get raffle tickets.

Hey Philly.  I went to North Georgia College (about an hour north of Atlanta).  Point i'm making is that it is a military school.  If you are looking for bodies then I may have some contacts for you with actual experience.  If you are interested I can hook you up with some contacts.

I never liked doing it before why would I want to now?

Seriously though Philly this is a great idea and whoever gets to do it will probably have a blast. If you needed a pilot instead of a paratrooper I'd do it. Curious though: is this an anti-Vietnam war film?

do you fly?

i wouldn't call it pro or anti anything, honestly. politicized vietnam films have already been done. of course any treatment of the war in cinema is going to be politicized automatically because the war itself is still such a touchy topic in the collective american psyche, but i'm more or less trying to take the anti-hollywood approach in establishing a film that's historically accurate and honors sacrifice while not glossing over the unsavory parts of the conflict.

Aeroplanes but have flown helicopters. Couldn't step in and fly one safely right now but to fly a Huey in a movie I'd start up training. Too bad I'm nowhere near where you are.

      FA may or may not be the best option each time. You know as well as I do that the LT is the highest paid position on offense behind QB and WR. If you have cap concerns, it would be better to draft a quality LT and hold him for 3-4 years before you have to sign him to a long term (and expensive 2nd contract). I wouldn't want to acquire a run stuffing DT in FA if I could get a younger one much cheaper in the draft.  Let's say no good Safties are on the market when prior to drafting. Once again you'd go to the draft. FA is a good way to feel out the roster prior to the draft, but it's possible to REACH there too. FO's usually end up over playing guys (at least at certain positions) who have already peaked. Besides, you always have to consider that the team that let them go didn't think they were worth the price they were asking to retain them. That certainly applies to our defense. We could draft the BPA at any level of our defense and immediately improve our team. A stud on the line beside DB would help the the run and pass defense. Our LB core needs a thumper/impact player at any position. We need another CB to play alongside JC. We have yet to see a Safety on our roster significantly impact a game this year.

      Maybe Rod will change it up and slot Bussi in net. Why risk the inevitable injury to Freddie this early in the season against a team that will likely win regardless.  Just show up and play to win, that's all I ask.

      Well, I feel the same way about pharmaceutical, junk/fast food and political ads. They all cause active and KNOWN harm to the populace but we are the penultimate corrupt Western country, so that's just where we are as a society.
