Hello all. My name is Olan Rogers. I’m a college student. And I shot this video on a HVX 200, a Flip Mino SD, and a iphone. My everyday days are nothing exciting, and I’m not going to pretend I sky dive or build electronmagnetic rocket ship parts, or do some other kind of extreme sport. I live a pretty normal life. I’ve also been a dreamer and always will be. But I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for taking the time to watch it.

  156. UPDATED: NIKON FESTIVAL » Daniel Chee. Photographer. Says:

    [...] The clip is entitled Love Sparks, and from a technical aspect, t was not shot with anything magnificent, but every cut is emotive, and the dialogue is touching. To add to that, I felt that the composition was strong in portraying what it needed. I think if you can reach out and touch emotion in a film and connect with someone on that level, people will be forgiving as to the quality of the video… This is evidence of that – Amazing job!Click here [...]

  157. dcheephoto Says:

    Amazing job! You should definitely win! much better than the other ones i have seen!!

  222. mattio Says:

    dude you are my hero

  223. naomimarie Says:

    I’ve seen this many times and focuses on romantic love, which is fine, but again not original. The camera work - very good.

    This is good stuff, no question. I know I couldn’t make a video of this caliber.

  237. froggin Says:

    I love the fact that there are no special effects just straight videography. The clip shows originally and clear thinking to meet the object

  238. marogers2344 Says:

    love the personal touchs in this video. the voice over and the clip where sequenced together like a puzzle. Olan has an artist eye.

  254. jakoman Says:

    Great vid, man. 5 stars.

  255. warhawk646 Says:

    Great use of music and the filmography was dimensional in a way that makes you feel immersed. However the ending was a bit too abrupt.

  256. uebo7 Says:

    Great video Olan. You’re getting very good at using different camera angles and styles to make your videos look even better.

    take the voiceover a way and it cant stand up.
    great vo but below average. hope this isnt popular contest. this is a feeling of coffee comm

  315. backbonebrain Says:

    Meh. A cliche fusion of 100 cheesy commercials. Adolescent poetry with its typical failings. Seen it.

  316. rc252005 Says:

    Great video. Really captures the essence of what matters in life. Good times with good people.

  317. davidbluegarcia Says:
