When Phoenix area Sun Valley Community Church came to us and asked us to create a narrative depicting the story of Christ's death and resurrection, a few things went through our minds:

We were most excited about the shots with an implied cross. The viewer doesn't need to see the body with the cross, to understand the implications of the action on-screen.
The results were breathtaking:
