Giant Dreams of Olliefu 2.5: A Ticket to Destiny (World Series Champs Edition)

[tylerblue1984]

Wow, I literally almost cried

[fjaybeck]

Well done young man, well done.

[citydirt]

what a great video, thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IENinersfan]

1 year later it still gives me chills. 2011 did not go the way we wanted it to, but we'll be back in business in 2012.

[michael22414]

2002 is the reason 2010 was so sweet for me. I'm only 20 years old but I could die happy knowing that the first sports team I've ever rooted for and the one I spent watching all 162 games in the season on multiple occasions in my elementary and middle school years, had been world champions in my life time.

[thecovesf]

Ollie, I was sitting only a few sections (sec 310) over from you in that epic Game 4 in the NLCS. What a magical season. Thanks again for posting. Everytime I get a little frustrated with the 2011 team I come back to videos like these to remind me good times.

[ilovebrianwilson38]

this is beautiful! out of all the videos out there, this one is probably my favorite. always crying tears of joy when i see this! brings more tears than titanic, the notebook, and all those movies

[ponyguitar11]

there the champs now but i wanted that 02 series so bad i still cant watch clips of the 02 series without geting a little choked up, only real giants fans under stand what the 2010 season was becuz i didnt forget about the 04,05,06,07,08 and 09 giants teams. every pitch, every out, every game, every season,forever San Francisco Giants Baseball "put that on a shirt"

[sfolliefu]

@ponyguitar11 Thanks for the kinds words!! GOOO GIANTS!!!

[lyanneshelladope]

I wish I could favorite this twice.

[sfolliefu]

@lyanneshelladope :) If you like you can share this video with your other Giant friends and family. Thanks for the kind words.

[xaqshuna2003]

The only moment in my life where I couldn't stop getting teary-eyed out of joy.

[sfolliefu]

@xaqshuna2003 I still get teary eye. When the Giants won that night on November 1 2010, I was a mess and a little drunk :)

[MrJalope]

Wow, what a beautiful video. I too was in tears. Thank you so much for posting this. I would love info on getting a copy of this to keep on a DVD.

[kidwithpaperplanes]

This is amazing. I watched your 2002 Giants video years ago and it STILL gives me goosebumps even though we knew how it ended. This video is equally as amazing, but with the ending we all wanted :)

And is that the same guy @3:35 from your 2002 video? If it is, that's awesome.

[sfolliefu]

@kidwithpaperplanes Thanks for the kind words :). Yes its the same guy from the 2002 video. Its been 5 months since the Giants won! It never gets old!!! GO GIANTS!!!

[abercracker1]

Awesome video man. I love your Auntie, she is so cute. She reminds me of my grandma who was a huge Giants fan and taught me to love the game. She passed away a few years ago but I know she would have loved this team and your video.

[sfolliefu]

@abercracker1 thanks for the kind words. May God bless you and GO GIANTS!!!

[BrianQ23]

what's up with the guy at 4:08 falling down lol

[benjimon8]

i gotta admit this video brings a sense of closure for giants fans all over the world.

[souls9mischief3]

8 years bro. I remember the 2002 NLCS vid you made. Different tears, but tears nonetheless. Thanks man

[kitsa42]

This is the greatest fan vid ever made about the 2010 Giants. Ollie, you did great with A Ticket to Game 5 and I am thrilled at another masterpiece by you.

[JCHONDA2NR]

I FUCKIN LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!! Tell me nobody else cryed for those who were not able to see our Giants finally win a world series in SF.

[sfolliefu]

@JCHONDA2NR NO Thank you in lovin it! :) I still cry in watching any SF Giants clincher game...its still unreal.

[ilovebrianwilson38]

awww :'] that was beautiful

tears of joy are flowing

[sfolliefu]

@ilovebrianwilson38 Thank you Miss. GIANTS!

[BrianQ23]

This video puts me to tears, I still can't believe we won it all.

[sfolliefu]

@BrianQ23 GO GIANTS!!

[frenchirishcatholic]

i'm never going to forget that night they won. greatest night of my life. i was in tears when we won and still get choked up when i see or hear the sounds of the final out

[sfolliefu]

@frenchirishcatholic - Me too. :) Its been a month now....I still can't believe it. Pinch me please. Peace be with you.

[thecovesf]

@sfolliefu Back in 2002, I tortured myself by watching your video on the Giants Message Board time after time, just because it inspired me not of what could have been but for dreaming about the feeling of what could some day be. And lo and behold it happened! I love that you got the usher on your video this time around, somehow it completes the circle. And this one gets that lump in my throat all over again. The San Francisco Giants are World Series Champions! We can finally say it!!!!

[sfolliefu]

@thecovesf Its been a month now, can't believe it.

[thecovesf]

@sfolliefu - Almost two months now. Seeing all the Giants gifts that my family exchanged on Christmas helped to make me realize....THE GIANTS WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!

[sfolliefu]

@thecovesf :) Merry Christmas! Christmas came early on Nov 1 2010! What what!!

[GiantsfanBrando]

this video hits the heart i am so greatful for it im a grown man and the 1st time i watched this i balled my eyes out great job ollie

[sfolliefu]

@GiantsfanBrando Sorry for the tears but isn't it great though! CHAMPIONS!!!

[Lor2217]

Ollie, this video is perfect. I've watched it at least 100x and it makes me cry and feel proud if my City and my Giants every time. Can you send it to me? Wish I didn't have to download from YouTube every time...

[sfolliefu]

@Lor2217 Thanks for the nice comments.

[SmilingSuncakeStudos]

Incredible video! This was truely an amazing run. :)

[sfolliefu]

@SmilingSuncakeStudos Thank you! :D

[sfolliefu]

@poopshoot12345 Thanks for the kind words.

[giantsfanatic]

[sfolliefu]

from a lifelong Giants fan (since '76)

[sfolliefu]

[wickedout2010]

This video brought tears to my eyes. I'm so damn happy that our Giants won it! Damn this feels great. Thank you for this and big thanks to our 2010 World Series Champions SF Giants. We love you guy's!!!!

[sfolliefu]

@wickedout2010 Sorry for the tears, wish I can send you some tissue. I am glad you liked it. GO GIANTS!

[christracy99]

Dude!!!

This video just made me look like a little wuss getting teary eyed at work!!! It's so easy to tell how much effort you put into this video. It's truly from the heart and captured how amazing this journey was.

GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[sfolliefu]

@christracy99 All good man...its been a long journey!!! Let's GO GIANTS!!!

[tjbaseball]

An amazing video, It made me happy, sad, laugh, cry, Every emotion i could feel i felt. I was even yelling at my screen, DONT TAKE OUT ORTIZ!!!

[CowteekRegion]

You make the best videos. Thank you for this

[sfolliefu]

@CowteekRegion Thank you. :)

[teebowandarrow]

This video captures why sport is so amazing. All those fans, from all different backgrounds, united in support of one team. To have endured a torturous 56 years and finally capture the title is incredible. To all the fans who truly stuck behind team I salute you.

[sfolliefu]

@teebowandarrow Thats the one thing I love about San Francisco, its the diversity. If you were at the parade it was sea of orange & black with all different backgrounds meshed together. It was beautiful. :)

[jessisjuicyj]

That's for the cry!

[zuma121157]

Great video, love how you blended the past with the present... I have been a fan since 1964...going to the stick as an 8 year old with my Christopher milk coupon ticket..The night we won it, I was with my same good friend who used to go to all those games together starting in 64...We cried tears of joy when Wilson slammed the door shut. Two grown men with familes with adult children crying...My life is complete now...The San Francisco Giants are World Champions!! Thanks again...

[sfolliefu]

@zuma121157 I want to tip my hat to you gentlemen in being with the Giants since 1964. I didnt become a fan 20 years after you guys in 1984. I was in 3rd grade rootin' for Chili Davis and the Hackman...On the night when we became champions, I called my Aunt (the lady in the video) around the bottom of the 8th, to thank her and her husband in taking me to my first game @ Candlestick. From out of no where, I just broke down with tears. So when Wilson nailed it...the waiting stop. But joy began...

[zuma121157]

@sfolliefu Thank you...It still hasn't sunk in yet...All of us old city kids are going to get together to watch pacman fight tonight so I'm sure we will still be talking about our Giants...thanks again!

[sfolliefu]

@zuma121157 Aww yah!! Let's go Manny!!! I'll be watching it tonight. I havn't been following boxing since my Giant state of mind been occupied. :D

[sfolliefu]

As I fade into a state of satisfaction for the baseball season, I give a shout-out to the fans on the north side of Chicago and in Cleveland. For 102 and 62 years, respectively, I hope for the day to come for you guys. Hang in there.

[emithband]

@sfolliefu ...as a native San Franciscan,I fully appreciate your tremendously poignant video...from the images to the music,well done!!!...of course,the source material was strong...couldn't go wrong with that...Stevie Gurr,your proud fellow fan of the 2010 World Series Champion San Francisco Giants!!!...wow,so unbelievable...

[sfolliefu]

@emithband Thank you Mr Gurr for your kind words. It took awhile to herd all the video footage from everywhere, internet, tv, my camera, and etc....I am glad to share this will you all. :)

[LyricalYoyo]

What is the song you have playing with the NLCS footage? It's amazing.

[sfolliefu]

@LyricalYoyo - Here is a break down on the music:

1st Song - Chris Botti - Gabriel's Oboe

2nd Song - BoB - Airplanes (Instrumental)

3rd Song - From the movie Gladiator - Now We Are Free

Here is a little fact, I always wanted to use "Now We Are Free" if the Giants ever won the World Series. :) The title of the song is already fitting for this moment. :) WE ARE FREE!!!!!

[UnitardInventor]

@sfolliefu I have to say, you choice of music is phenomenal. And I appreciate you including Peter Magowan in your special thanks section. It wasn't there for the NLCS version!

[odey76]

Congrats to you and the Giants nation, bro! This video will be proudly seen for generations to come.

[alexizzle88]

i love the angelic music with Buster looking up at the sky/orange&black confetti. Brings out the tears. Oh and of course the usher. Iono how you found the guy again but that's swt to know he was around to watch us go all the way too!

[sfolliefu]

Thank you all for the kind comments. Is everybody still smiling since Nov 1.? I am :)

[alexizzle88]

awesome stuff man. You don't know how many times I watched your '02 pennant clinch video. I watched it in '07, '08, '09, and even this year. Hoping and praying they'd finally bring us fans a world series. This is the best

[sfolliefu]

@alexizzle88 thank you in watching my video during these past years. i know that the 2006-2008 seasons were like the dark ages. not any more. :)

[Viafino]

Just Awesome Baby!!!!!!!! All those years of season tickets to Candlestick are now a distant memory. Cold nights and hope dashed has now been replaced with the amazing phrase "World Champion San Francisco Giants"

Glory to God!!!

[sfolliefu]

@Viafino Glory to God! Yes the cold nights are the stick. Plus all the blowing safeway bags on the field. :)

[westcoasthoops1]

I'm a grown man and my eyes started to tear up while watching this. Unbelievable.....Go Giants.

[sfolliefu]

@westcoasthoops1 :) Its been a long journey! But we did it!! (here is some tissue)

[jnhansen3]

this video changed my life

[cjankos024]

I would watch your 02 montage to the giants before every game and as my superstition I'd pause it at 2:26 right before Kenny Loftons game winner. Well Done. This is awesome!

[vegeta8085]

great video!

[chanjsf]

great video. covered all topics for a giants fan. thanks.

[ADoc1980]

Awesome

[DTatro916]

AWESOOOME!!! little bit of a tear jerker ! lol

[khalib540]

Speechless!

[dongo415]

thank you. you've brought tears to these ol' eyes.

[thekellyj]

amazing video - i am crying at work. haha. :)

[randywong]

great job

[hankolalbc1]

Simply awesome!

[rog2476]

Great stuff. Thanks for putting it together!

[dquill1]

We've seen your 2002 video every year at the start of the season. I've basically memorized it, having seen it 10+ times. Now, a new, longer, and happier one.

Every time I see that usher in the park, "Certainly we'll win tonight", I think of you and the video. You caught both Bill and one of our sales people in your video this time which was fun to see.

Thank you Ollie.

[sfolliefu]

@dquill1 :) Thank you guys for all your kind words! It was cool that Bill hooked me up in finding the usher. One of my buddies asked me if I was using the same footage from 2002. When I told him that front office helped out. He was in disbelief. GO GIANT!! WE ARE CHAMPS!!!

[brabon1]

way to go ollie

you made me cry 8 years ago

you did it again

thank you man

still waiting for the gyros to hire you as their official videographer

[sfolliefu]

@brabon1 here is some tissue...:)

[soulbrother16]

We did it!

[kitsa42]

Amazing video, Ollie. Thanks for writing to tell me it was revised. I am going to post my playoff video scrapbook on Meebo soon. The first few minutes borrows a bit of inspiration from your video here (I add and subtract some audio and video and add commentary to the 2002 World Series with Duane on the mic) but the rest is all original. Will let you know when it's up. :)

[cnykee]

Awesome video bud, entertaining as always!

[djmunchies]

Amazing video!

[AllTimeGiants]

these moments are forever etched in our memories. this was my 24th season as a Giants fan and at times it seemed like forever waiting to celebrate a championship.

looking back, it really didn't seem that long or tough anymore and i wouldn't change a thing.

thanks for another wonderful video.

[laidbackleo]

AWESOME!! Same usher from first vid!! lol Nice touch!!
