Inside North Point’s Media Blog posted the title package video to Andy Stanley’s ‘White Flag’ series this morning:
The series is about Jonah and how he ran from God. We wanted to show a character running endlessly and becoming more and more exhausted. Additionally, the subject was to end up in increasingly desolate environments.
The reveal at the end would show a white flag. We wanted the viewer to see the subject running, becoming beat down by the run and eventually surrendering.
And yes, that is me running wildly around downtown Atlanta. Looking tired was easy since I’m an overweight blogger.
I mean, true authentic acting!
You can see the package in all it’s glory after the jump. Laugh at me in the comments.
Travis Fish says

Been watching it every week at 6pm on Sundays. Enjoy seeing your mug each time as well. You should be a professional running man. π

I love the part where you were sore and achy and feeling like crud the next day. I should have caught that on film.
