<span class=name>Matt Walters</span>
<p class=position>Singer</p>The pyrotechnics of pop culture played little part in Matt Walters' awakening. His most powerful musical memories involve a lone voice in a tent at one of the countless folk festivals his parents dragged him along to as a kid. In fact it was the culmination of a long voyage of discovery from Melbourne to Sydney to London, before it was finally captured with a few friends in a room in his small hometown in the southwest of Victoria. Whatever it was, it spoke immediately to indie music producer Barry Palmer (Hunters & Collectors, Deadstar, Gigantically Small Records). When he invited Mercury Records Chief Peter Karpin to listen to the demo, Matt had a better idea. He pulled out his guitar, and got signed on the spot.

<span class=name>Jamie Rigg</span>
<p class=position>Associate Dean, Head Of Contemporary Performance - AIM</p>Back in early January I was asked to put together a track to support the Call To Greatness cause. The brief was to write and record a track that could become a anthemia piece and generate interest in the community and stimulate the youth of today to take up the call.<br />
<br />
From the very first demo recording, I sensed a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm from all those involved, including music industry heavyweights, streetkids and even a few footballers!<br />
The end result is a wonderful collaborative effort that I hope<br />
will send out the Call!

<span class=name>Ella Marie Gibbins</span>
<p class=position>Director of Photography</p>There is something really refreshing about walking into an environment where you are surrounded by so many great people . talented and respected in their various fields - yet exciting and fun to get along with. The day of filming was relaxing and enjoyable and was made that way by the atmosphere created by the artists, sportspeople and presenters . the great time they had recording the song filtered through. I found myself smiling many times at their antics and spectacular behaviour . performing somersaults, break dancing and even the .Single Ladies. to a standard that was impressively high!

<p class=position>AIM, Sound Engineer</p>Working on Call to Greatness was FUN with a capital F. I like to work quickly in the studio and this project was really FAST. Lots of people coming in and out of the place during the recording sessions. One minute you'd be recording the bass player, the next, there'd be 40 people in the room singing the chorus!! All the people working on the track were awesome to work with, and there was a great vibe surrounding the whole thing.

<span class=name>Adam St John</span>
<p class=position>AIM, Cameraman</p> I had a fantastic experience and in my entire career I have never been in such a fun shoot. It was a pleasure and a true honor to be involved with something as important and relevant to today's youth as Call to greatness. Though at first getting some of the celebs to sing their hearts out was a little bit of a challenge mentioning no names (NRL players). With a little persuasion everyone was up for it and as you can see by the video it was a blast. There was such a good energy on the shoot and some priceless moments including some fantastic break dancing and some not so great........

<span class=name>Danny Clayton</span>
<p class=position>Video Director</p>Working on Call to Greatness felt surprisingly like a day at school with no teacher around. Sports people, actors and musicians were unleased in the recording studio and started running amok. It wasn.t a difficult job for me; I could point the camera anywhere and capture something like a Beyonce dance off or the Nickelodeon boys scooting around on office chairs. My favourite part of working on the project was watching some the more experienced musician.s give advice and guidance to our upcoming and very talented stars. It was a fun day and I am glad to be involved.

<span class=name>Sonia Borg</span>
<p class=position>C2G Executive Producer</p>I've worked on numerous productions over the years but this is the first time that I can honestly say, that everyone involved in the C2G video was an absolute joy to work with. It was fun, it was easy and the time just flew. The goodwill involved made every second of the chaos leading up to the shoot worthwhile. To ask people to give up their time and get out of their comfort zone to help others is huge, for them to give to so much of themselves was remarkable. It reignited my passion for what I do.
