Here’s what the judges had to say on the winner:
TIMUR: Timelapses, slow motion, and even a very creative solution to film the wonderful Finca De Arrieta from the bird’s eye view perspective without using a drone – outstanding technical and creative work! The nature of the magical Island of Lanzarote was beautifully captured and the performance by the brave explorer, Maxim, playing the main character is really Oscar-worthy! This film accomplishes what a travel video should – it inspires you to travel! Well done and congratulations! 🙂
CHARLIE: I liked how it showed a lot of family time, also a lot of footage of the resort and of course the activities you can do on the island including beautiful landscapes and beach time!
TRACEY: This is my favourite as it showcases all the kids favourites elements of the Finca (chickens, donkey, trampoline) but showcases the landscape and sites of the island really nicely and overall exudes the sheer joy of a good family holiday.
