Loved seeing Grif wearing an Ohio State T-shirt despite his Michigan roots!! Great video!!
this is such a great video! i film and edit the camp videos at the camp i am working at so i know how much work goes into it! but i love the look of this camera, the canon 7D? it just really gives it a nice look, and i love how you color corrected it. I am kind of curious what music you used , that is one of the hardest things to find, royalty free , christian (GOOD) music! lol but i am so impressed by this video and absolutely love it! it’s very artistically done and just beautiful!
