There are millions of YouTube users creating and uploading content every day. Some of these content creators are using YouTube as an outlet to bring their creative visions to an audience that they may not otherwise be able to reach. One such content creator is Olan Rogers.
Olan Rogers, a.k.a "The Tennessee Wonder Child," has been producing content for YouTube in one form or another almost as long as YouTube has been around. He began by creating videos with friends for a channel called Balloon Shop. He eventually branched out into his own channel and has been uploading eve since. He's most known for his story telling videos and sketches.
Not only does Olan make original content for YouTube, but he's taken on many other avenues as well. He started his own clothing line called Olan Rogers Supply. His apparel business has gone far beyond clothing, and has even had a scholarship fund.
Rogers also realized one of his dreams a couple of years ago when he was able to open The Soda Parlor in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. The Soda Parlor sells delicious floats and pieces from Roger's clothing line. The Soda Parlor also plays host to "fan appreciation nights" frequently. These parties are a way for Rogers to thank all of the people that watch his videos and take the time to support him. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to one such party while on a trip to Nashville, and it was a blast. Olan is one of the kindest people you will ever meet, and his love for everyone there shines through so brightly.
With all of these accomplishments, some may wonder what's next for Rogers. Well, he has actually started something new recently. Rogers teamed up with New Form Digital and animators at Studio Joho to create a pilot for a cartoon called "Final Space." This space adventure is beautifully done, dark when it wants to be, and beyond charming. Rogers has said that he had the idea for a cartoon for a long time, and finally got the opportunity to have it come to life a few weeks ago. The pilot episode is up on his YouTube channel and has over 200,000 views. The episode has gotten positive reviews, and Rogers has been keeping his fans updated on what will become of the series.
Rogers said that New Form asked him if he had any more ideas, and they're already working on concept art for a new cartoon called "Lions Blaze." Rogers creative ambition is inspiring for all of those who watch his videos. His determination and contagious enthusiasm are why people should be watching out for him and what he has in store.
