3...2...1...FIGHT'S ON!

"I'm good at this simulator, so I could easily fly a real fighter jet!"

We've all heard it before, right? Especially when a gamer beats a real pilot in virtual reality.

Instead of just rolling our eyes, what if we could actually put them to the test?

Mover Media and Etched Motion Productions have partnered with Victory Flight Training to do just that. We'll start by taking gamers and putting them in real jets (after a little bit of instruction from our hosts, of course) and find out who America's Next Top Dogfighter really is. 

We're creating a pitch/pilot of what will hopefully become a series taking people from various backgrounds and letting them (safely) fight it out over the skies of Texas in our Marchetti S-211 aircraft.

 

Meet the Hosts

C.W. LEMOINE 

"Mover"

Mover started his military flying career in the Air Force Reserve flying F-16s. After one thousand hours and a combat tour in Iraq, he transferred to the Navy Reserve flying F/A-18s. He later transferred back to the Air Force Reserve and is currently flying the T-38A as an adversary pilot.  He also flies for a legacy U.S. Airline.

When he's not flying, Mover is the host of the YouTube Channel "C.W. Lemoine" with over 300,000 subscribers. His show "Mondays with Mover" includes aviation breakdowns, interviews, and flight training videos. He is also the author of the SPECTRE SERIES and THE ALEX SHEPHERD SERIES

TREVOR HARTSOCK

"Gonky"

 

Gonky is a former Navy F/A-18 International Instructor Pilot. After leaving the Navy, he flew with the Malaysian Air Force as a Boeing Instructor Pilot. He later returned to the Navy Reserve where he met Mover flying Adversary F/A-18s in New Orleans. He has since transferred to the Air Force Reserve where he currently flies T-38As with Mover. He is also an Airbus A320 pilot.

When he's not flying, Gonky runs a real estate business and is the host of "The Ready Room" on YouTube. His channel has over 16,000 subscribers and features military aviation videos and interviews.

What We Need & What You Get

 

Flying jets isn't cheap, but we're doing our best to be as cost effective as possible. Our initial ask is $100,000 USD to create a pitch for the show. This includes the cost of aircraft rental and getting Gonky and Mover checked out to fly with passengers.  Our STRETCH GOALS will expand this concept from a simple pitch to full episodes! 

In return, you'll get to watch the final product free of charge on C.W. Lemoine's YouTube Channel  and those that sign up for Perks will get early access, plus behind the scenes footage and if you REALLY want to go all in, we'll have perks with flights in T-6 Texans (Coming soon). 

Stretch Goals

 

  • If we raise our initial goal of $100,000 USD, we will create a pitch/proof of concept of the show.
  • If we raise $150,000 USD, we will create a short pilot episode (20-30 min) with high production quality.
  • If we raise $175,000 USD, we will be able to add dedicated aerial cinematography chase aircraft, filming the dogfights in 8K!
  • If we raise $200,000 USD, we will create a full-length pilot episode (approximately 42 min) with high production quality. 
  • If we raise $250,000 USD, we will create a second episode featuring non-gamers.
  • If we raise $300,000 USD, we will create a third episode in which the winner of EPISODE 1  faces off against the winner of  EPISODE 2  and include a special tribute for FOLDS OF HONOR.

 

Giving Back

Five percent (5%) of the proceeds raised from this campaign will be donated to Folds of Honor, and we plan to fly a Folds of Honor scholarship recipient to tell the story of their family member who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
