One look at Orion Owens's VideoBlocks portfolio will have you California dreaming or Maui dreaming or Bali dreaming, for that matter. He's a SoCal-based surfer, but the man behind Active Stock chases the break all over the world-funding his pursuits with the stock footage he films along the way. Owens seems to have already found the perfect wave, though, in this best-selling Marketplace shot that he captured while riding a picturesque swell.

It's easy to see why this clip is so popular: watching the wave engulf you is an experience. You feel like you are inside that tunnel of water, riding a surfboard like a pro. That connection with the viewer-the ability to elicit a sensory and emotional response-is what makes Owens's footage resonate.

The ethereal blues and purples of the color treatment amplify the video's capacity to inspire awe. It's more than a video of a wave; it's an aspirational story. Most of us will never know what it really looks or feels like to surf a world-class break, and this video is a very effective tease at that lifestyle. It leaves you wanting more (which is why we find ourselves watching the wave crash over and over on a loop).

For filmmakers, there are many ways to put this clip and its unique qualities to use. Whether you're producing a swimwear ad or making a music video that thematically relates to water, your audience will keep watching when this wave footage appears.

As a whole, Owens's portfolio has a style and vibe that conveys a specific brand. To explore and download all of his videos-including the #1 wave clip-click the button below.
