BTW as a "ball obsessed" dog owner I totally noticed your shot submission within the challenge video days before I found this BHS video! Well done Ollie! (Don't fret Luke, your contributions were spot on too!)
Incredibly important that you felt a moment of potential failure or maybe it couldn't work but you kept trying! And not only did it work, you won! I love how spiritual these videos can be just by people explaining how they were feeling! Great video bro.
I think it's really cool how GoPro sequenced one of the shots looking like it was about to hit a ball, and then suddenly you BECOME the ball, and before you know it you're flying into the mouth of a doggy! Well done GoPro and well done Luke for persevering to get that shot 😁🐕⚾
I agrée! 🤩 love how they combined it! My only complaint is I wish they had used the shot for slightly longer in the edit so that the GoPro went completely into his mouth and went black before going to the next shot.
Loved the BTS. Nice work to you, Ollie and your dad! So great to see people using some creativity to give us a new perspective! The stick shots were so cool too. Welcome to the MDC fam!
Thanks man. That really means a lot 🤩 GoPro really appreciates creativity which I really like. Without a challenge like this I probably would have never done this shot.
@@colter7300 i love snow sports but every single year half the shots for the challenge are skiing like dude. i get that the contrast between snow, sky, and the person make for a "good shot" but its far more interesting to see stuff like this. the challenge is big enough to where i know for sure theres some good stuff in there that they dont use just for ski flip #8
This 9:10 is EXACTLY how I remembered and saw the inside of the Belgium Malinois when I was 7 years old, about 35 years ago now... It was a trained family dog, winning a lot of championship stuff over here in Belgium. But I wanted to throw away his fetch thingy and the dog bit me. Nearly lost my eye as a teeth was under my eye. They glued that wound. At the left of my eye they stitched it with staplers and from the top of my head was a wound until the eye (by closing it's mounth) resulting in a 30-ish stitches hehehe... I was very cool the next day at school only being 7 lol... (Dutch speaking so may have grammar faults lol)
All that hard work paid off! Such a brilliant, unique idea with amazing execution. By far my favourite shot of the whole GoPro compilation - well done!!
Yeah, I feel like the Mini 11 is an attempt at resurrecting the Sessionm but the form factor is inferior. That little cube with centred lens was great!
Great video! Clicked on it because of the interesting title and thumbnail, watching the whole video without skipping and really enjoyed it. Keep it up man!
Damn that face you made at 4:48 made me really sad. The classic "I was so excited for this and its not going to work out. Smile through the dissapointment." I'm glad it worked out for you.
Do people not understand the whole point of the GoPro million dollar challenge? At the end of the day it’s a marketing campaign. Do you think the average GoPro user can relate to freediving in the Bahamas? No. Do you think the average GoPro user can relate to playing catch with their dog? Yes. But even beyond that, the hundreds of positive comments, 99% like ratio from thousands of likes clearly show that it’s objectively a good shot.
Ngl I liked the trail throws into the dogs mouth, not all balls stay straight so the spinning effect gave you a feeling of you are the ball aswell which was super cool
The string was a really good idea, but you couldn't really control the resistance. Just changing it to a short streamer with surface area and more time in the air, would have given you a good arc. Great shot though!
I always was wondering if someone would put a action cam into a ball. Great idea with the wings to create drag and stability. I thought you might try something like a shuttle from badminton, but this turned out amazing! Awesome job!
During brainstorming of how to get the ball to fly straight, did you think to attatch the ball to a stick on the back end? That way you can control exactly the path, rotation, etc? I know its not exactly the same as throwing the ball per say, but since you were okay with turning the ball into makeshift missile shape, I was curious if youd have been okay guiding it on a stick. Cool video nonetheless and good luck!
Hey! Good question. I did try that actually. Unfortunately it doesn’t give the organic look of a ball being thrown even after trying over and over. Also, Ollie wouldn’t jump up to catch it. He would kind of just open his mouth without the excitement 😂
Ah, a fellow Cape Town boet! 🇿🇦 I've always wanted a GoPro to make sailing videos. I'm going to look into the small Hero 11. Great video and congratulations!
wow I got the hero 11 and I would not know where to start I had seen the competition I know I definitely would not have won but this is an outstanding effort I am subscribing (with post notifications) you definitely encouraged me to buy the next go pro just for this competition I wanna try it now😀
Complete agree 😂 but the problem is the ball has to be as small as possible. Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to catch the ball. So modifying a normal nerf wouldn’t really work because of the size and shape.
Casually just flies from France to South Africa on a whim because money is no object (Yes I'm jealous)...Also, you painfully, at your dog's expense, recreated the Nerf Vortex Aero Howler Football
This is pretty awesome. Another option would have been the insta go 2 size wise maybe. I know size on an insta 360 one x2 it’s big but a 360 camera with your idea would be something cool too. Also wonder if recording it in slow mo would helped. Great video tho !!
Loving this BTS look to such a creative shot 🙌🐶Congratulations!
I probably would have never attempted something like this without the GoPro MDC, so thank you for inspiring creativity! 😎
@@LukeMaximoBell1 nice job
GoPro, best camera ever 🎉
Can't we use previous year camera to participate in this?
Well done Luke
This guy bought the camera, shot the video, and won the challenge before I even heard of it.
Hahahaha, there is always next year!
and shot the video about winning the challenge and uploaded it, don't forget that.
@@astraljack47how do you know they didnt hear abt it before this video

Hahaha amazing! You should try and get some shots like these as well. I warn you though, it's not easy at ALL! haha
bro loves balls 🤨
@RokoChoco did someone say, "Ball?"
Loved this video. Well done Luke🙌🏾🥳
Thanks bro! It means a lot 🤩🤗
Same here!

Yeh, it does make for a better story. At the time you are like noooo 😭 but afterwards it makes for a better feeling of accomplishment.

The dog and the owner were having genuine fun while filming. That's why the won 🎉
We had a GREAT time! 🤩
the commitment to the shot! all that testing! so sick dude! massive congratulations my friend!
Thanks bro! Yeh it was a loooooot of effort so I’m glad it paid off 😂
LOL! Still chuckling at your comment!
honestly love the side eyes from ollie in the stick selfie shot at the end, thought that was the most adorable
Me too!! 😂😂 I think it’s so funny to watch his eyes wandering around while holding the stick.
Brilliant job, mate. Such a lot of hard work but it was worth it. Tbh your shot was one of my favourite in the whole million dollar video. Well done
Aww that’s epic! Thanks for the kind words 😎😎
Man this is some REAL creativity! Much better than those redundant ski vids! Can't wait for more creative shots like these!
Thanks man. That really means a lot 🤩 GoPro really appreciates creativity which I really like. Without a challenge like this I probably would have never done this shot.
Creativity vs skill. I guess if you don't enjoy snowsports it isn't interesting....

Whoah that’s a crazy story! 🫣 it did actually cross my mind that this might be triggering for dog bite victims 🙈
@@LukeMaximoBell1 Oh well... In my case the scars made my face better looking 😁
@@ASUSfreak Good way to look at it 😎
Using fins to change the flight rotation of the ball was something I never could have come up with, great job trying new things!
This is so friggen cool!! What a shot And thank you so much for also sharing the file too that's really generous of you!
So glad you enjoyed it! 🤩🤩✨
All that hard work paid off! Such a brilliant, unique idea with amazing execution. By far my favourite shot of the whole GoPro compilation - well done!!
Awww thank you! 🤗 you are the best! ❤️
Perseverance pays! I love the "doggie selfie stick" shots as well!
It's easier to give up 😅 Yeh, they are so cute! I have seen them before though so not as original.
GoPro session would crush this for you. Small and indestructible. Congrats qnd Keep it poppin’
Yeah, I feel like the Mini 11 is an attempt at resurrecting the Sessionm but the form factor is inferior. That little cube with centred lens was great!
What makes this even more amazing is that you got your shot put on the beat drop in the video
The actual GoPro vid
8:36 so cute, when you says his name, your dog is happy and wiggle its tail
Awww he is the best 😭
I saw you react to every coment love it! Thanks for putting all that effort and work even off the video in your community😀.
Of course! It takes a bit of time but it’s important to acknowledge everybody 😎
Great video! Clicked on it because of the interesting title and thumbnail, watching the whole video without skipping and really enjoyed it. Keep it up man!
What an awesome comment! So glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thx for the BTS. Very cool, and congrats.
Shot man! Glad you enjoyed it 😎
This was awesome to watch! Good doggo 🐶
Aww I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🐶
What a wonderful video! Everything about it. Just wonderful 🐶 🏀 🎥
Aww thanks so much for the kind words! 🤗🤗🤗 much appreciated
Jiss that shot of your doggie with the ball in his mouth and his cheekflaps flopping around had me chuckilng! !!:)
Hahaha it’s funny hey 😂
beef curtains!!!!!! glad there was context to that shot!
Hahahaha 😂 true true!
Nice video Luke! Just found this channel and you are full of creativity! You just got a subscriber and a loyal viewer:)😊

Wow! Congratulations! Good job. Amazing work man
Thanks so much 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Well done bud, amazing stuff!
Shot bro! 🙌🏼
Imagine free diving a cliff in the Bahamas 500ft in the air just for your submission to lose against A dog playing catch with a GoPro

Thanks! I tried to make the story entertaining so I appreciate it 😎
well deserved really creative shots
Thanks so much!!! 🤩
Well done. Love the shots on the stick...especially 8:58 with Ollie's eye moving around.
Congratulations, good Job!! 👏🏼🥳
Thanks bro!
Ngl I liked the trail throws into the dogs mouth, not all balls stay straight so the spinning effect gave you a feeling of you are the ball aswell which was super cool
Yeh I agree! It makes it feel more real!
I could watch this all day
Aww thanks so much! That’s so sweet 😁
Dude won a million dollars and goes "haha yes"
Congrats man you deserved it ❤🎉
I love the stick shot
I also love it! 🤩 it’s such a funny angle
The string was a really good idea, but you couldn't really control the resistance. Just changing it to a short streamer with surface area and more time in the air, would have given you a good arc. Great shot though!
Yeh true, but I found the issue with the streamer is the speed. It needs to go fast for that to work.
your dog is so hansom! 🐶 Congrats and well done :)
Aww I will tell him 🐶
Congrats, great shot
Thanks 😊
My man fumbled his way into a DIY nerf football 🤣 great job
This is true. I won’t deny it. 😂
Great job with this. I love your pupy dog❤
Thanks!! He is the best 🤗
Good work fella! Cool story. Love the shots too.
Thanks so much 😁
@@LukeMaximoBell1 Oh, and Luke, how of the million did you end up with? Just curious...
9:08 I really like this one, with the water going around the ball and your dog just coming into frame
That shot is really cool hey 🤩

Thanks so much!! 🤩🤩🤩
I always was wondering if someone would put a action cam into a ball.

Congrats, bro!! Greetings from Mexico.
Thanks so much 🔥
That's awesome, congratulations!
Thanks 🙏🏼
I was actually thinking about how you got the shot when I saw it and this is pretty much how I imagined it. Crazy aye
Thanks bro! It was a lot of fun to create 😎
Congrats Man
Thank you!! 😎
I came for the idea, I stayed for the dog😂😂😂, great video
Can’t blame you! He is the best 🤩🤩🤩🐶
@@LukeMaximoBell1 yeah he looks like a wonderful lad
The amount of time I just spend watching a vid where I'm falling into that dog's mouth over and over again is hilarious🤣
Love the shots of your dog! Stunning and so perfect for a spaniel!
Hehe thanks!
So creative i love it! Best of luck!
Ollie is so cute! what an awesome dog
Hehe thanks! He is the best 🤩
This is priceless! love the design process!
Thanks so much 🤩
Awesome! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing!
Boet, been travelling around the world and you said just two words and knew you were a Saffa! Lekker lekker from Florida USA
Hahahahaha 😂 it is so undeniable when you hear it 🙈
How you feel as a white person in southafrika living in such a big villa? Did your do some research where the wealth of your family ist coming from?
I lowkey like the dog selfie shot more 😂 9:02
WOW. This is so creative. Great work man
Thanks so much 😎

All the final shots were so good, gopro needs to make a full trailer only from the ollie shots 🌟👌🏻
Hahaha that is a good idea 😂
Baie geluk bro! Well deserved!💪

Hey, man loved this BTS, do you know when is the next challenge?
🎉 awesome clip
Thank you! 🤩🤩
honestly the end result(of the ball) just looked like one of those nerf footballs but the idea was great and the and the shots looked really cool
Complete agree 😂 but the problem is the ball has to be as small as possible. Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to catch the ball. So modifying a normal nerf wouldn’t really work because of the size and shape.
Nice Video and nice that you are answering all comments
Of course! I really appreciate the comments 😎
That is the coolest thing ever. I might try to make that for my dog, just to get funny videos :D
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤩 give it a try!
thank you for sharing this amazing video, and GOOD BOY OLLIE!
So glad you enjoyed it 🤗
this convinced me my new hobby will be finding different ways to shoot my dog's life with a gopro
That’s a great hobby 🤩😂
this was so cool man
congrats ! love the work behind this shot
+1 sub
Awesome! Thanks for the compliments 😎
9:03 dog selfi.... "stick" hahaha
Congrats one the win.
I thought from the beginning, a nerf howler ball would be perfect for this - which is basically what you built in the end.
If you try it let me know. I looked around but couldn’t find for sale outside of the US. Also it needs to be AS small as possible for him to catch.
@@LukeMaximoBell1 yeah you can get pretty small ones - what country are you based?
Your dad is the bomb mad respects!
He is so good!
