There are 53 mountains over 14,000 feet in Colorado to add to the backdrop of most of the weddings we film.</p>

Mine look like my 4 year old could have drawn them and I think that is why I never did them until this past year. &nbsp;Even if you're the only one that can understand them they can benefit by helping you premeditate on the way you&nbsp;want to shoot something.</span></p>

<p>This video is something that I put together last summer. I went on a fishing trip with my Grandad and cousin, Travis to Isabel Lake in Rye, Colorado. I didn't plan on filming, but there is something special about moments like these.

<p style="text-align: left;">This festival marked a year of film festivals for Sparks Bros Media. We have had some great films but this one was the biggest. &nbsp;By biggest I mean it had the most moving parts. When your walking around a set for a film that is supposed to be finished in 24 hours (that's shot, edited, and submitted) and you see 5 make-up artists including my wife Chrissy, Channelle Stewart, Ashley Burke, Matt Rivera, and Vincente Martinez Ortega doing body art, go-go dancer Toxiic, from Toxiic Inc. Entertainment, a DJ Cameron "ProfessorPhunk" Sanchez, with a full set-up, you start to wonder what you</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.sparksbros.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-13789330.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
