Thanks to everyone who participated in our ‘Like Us and We’ll Light You’ Giveaway! We got a lot of great responses from the community, with over 200 OVCers dropping by the OVC Facebook page to say ‘Hi’. We love hearing from you, so even though this giveaway is over, don’t be a stranger!
                          

We are pleased to announce that the lucky recipient of a brand new Alzo on-camera LED light and CowboyStudio shoulder support pad is Greg Bales from Michigan! See what he has to say about winning in our short interview:

OVC: What got you started making videos?
Greg: I actually started making videos just because I thought A/V class would be really fun. It was, but as I started to do more I decided that I could do it as a career. The next year I started an Independent Study learning Adobe After Effects. That was what really hooked me on video. I started working as an intern at Deep End Films (http://deependfilms.com/) right after High School in June and I’m still working there.

How long have you been coming to OnlineVideoContests.com?
I have been coming to OVC since this past summer when me and my two friends thought we would make videos for contests all summer but our lives got busy and we didn’t end up doing that. Me and my boss and one of our friends started making some videos for contests as the Wedding season started to die down. We already won 4th place for our Amazon Wireless Commercial (http://zooppa.com/ads/amazon-freedom-to-choose-video-contest/videos/tell-everyone) Which was our first video online so we were very excited to do more and we have already done another one for the Margaritaville Cargo Mixed Drink Maker (http://zooppa.com/ads/margaritaville-cargo-ultimate-host-video-contest/videos/nothings-easy).

How do you plan to use your new prizes?
I have used both of these bits of equipment before and they are so nice but never owned either so this will make filming things so much easier as I won’t have to rely on borrowing things from friends who have more equipment. I use mainly DSLR so these are perfect for my style of filming.

Congrats again, Greg! We are looking forward to seeing what you create in the future!

If you didn’t win this time, don’t worry! We’re planning more contests and giveaways to reward OVC users down the line - keep a look out. Thank you for being a part of our video contest community.
