Excellent! I love this video.  The contrasts between light, dark, and the young woman were awesome.  It bears repeating... excellent!

Yeah it ain't cheap, if its something you're looking at getting into I believe adobe do a monthly subscription for their editing suite.

This is really good work. The story is good and the color grading is also really good. My only comment is that during liftoff at approx :33 the is a slight stutter in the video. By itself it is not that noticeable but the rest of the video pan and slider moves are so smooth this one sticks out.

But really great job overall and I enjoyed watching.

Still a great video. The only reason I noticed it was because everything else was so smooth.. Good jab anyway.

I did enjoy this one. Nice to see that the Spark can be used for something more creative than the average aerial landscape video. As a complete video noob I was inspired and impressed.

Wow, thank you for such a nice comment! Yeah I feel I use the spark for much more than the aerial stuff, there are a couple of shots in the film where the spark is no more than 4ft from the ground but I needed the stability and movement

And did you use any stabiliser with the d5300? I also shoot with a spark but would like to start using my d7200 for some video too but im afraid it will be too shakey handheld

The wider shots are handheld, glidecam used with the closer shots (cheap but a pain to set up)

Wow, that was absolutely stunning. That short leaves no doubt about the spark's place in a visionary's camera bag.
