Vineyard Views: ‘Bersi Serlini Franciacorta’ In Northern Italy (Video)

Video Leave a comment

Took me a while to complete this project, but it’s finally done. I am absolutely honored to have shot this piece for one of my favorite winery in my hometown, Bersi Serlini Franciacorta. As many of you know, I’m a big fan of wine and I’m always happy to shoot this kind of projects. Franciacorta is a very special sparkling wine, made with the same method of Champagne.

This piece is also very special because Arturo, the founder, passed away only one year after I shot this documentary and I feel honored I was able to interview him. Everything was shot on BMPCC4K and Canon FDs (24mm f/2.8 and 70-210 f/4) and Laowa 9mm f/2.8. The drone footage was captured with DJI Phantom 4 Pro and DJI Inspire 2 with the X7 camera by Matteo Bertelli. The documentary was edited and graded in DaVinci Resolve using BUTTERY Natural Rec709 LUT. Everything was lit exclusively by Relio lights.

Arts & Culture: ‘The Azulejos’ – Portugal’s Colored Tiles (Video)

Video Leave a comment

Anyone who has ever been to Portugal will probably know them: the small, mostly blue square ceramic tiles, the so-called ‘azulejos’. Especially in the capital of Lisbon they decorate many houses. Even today, the decorative tiles are still made by hand. The word azulejos does not come from the Portuguese word “azul” for blue – as one might think. It comes from Arabic and means something like “polished little stone”.

Walks: ‘Mijas Pueblo’ In Málaga, Spain (4K Video)

Video Leave a comment

Mijas Pueblo is the historical core of the municipality of Mijas, situated in the heart of the Costa del Sol in southwestern Spain. It lies only 30 kilometres from Málaga Airport. It has a varied landscape that goes from the mountains all the way to the sea.

The area of Mijas is mostly mountainous with growing developments along the coast and on the gentler parts of the mountain slopes. The Pasadas and Ojen rivers cross this area, they join to form the Rio Fuengirola which flows into the sea almost on the limits between Fuengirola and Mijas.

The Municipality, one of the largest in the Province of Málaga, with 147 km² is divided into three different urban areas: Mijas Pueblo, conserving the charm of a traditional Andalucian “white village”, Las Lagunas on the coast (the most modern area of Mijas where you can find industrial and commercial areas), and La Cala, a small seaside village in the centre of the 12 kilometres of beaches on the Mijas coast.

Inhabited since ancient times, a small village Mijas was devoted mainly to agriculture and fisheries to the explosion of the tourist boom in the 1950s. Since then, tourism and construction sector have been the engines of local economy, triggering at the same time the population and per capita income, albeit at a high environmental cost. Today it is a multicultural city with a high percentage of residents of foreign origin and a major residential centers of tourism in Andalusia.

The maze of narrow, cobbled streets dotted with white whitewashed houses contrasted by colorful flower pots and flowers that decorate the balconies, is an image that will remain etched in your mind about Mijas Pueblo.

Aerial Views: ‘Mount Olympus – Greece’ (4K)

Video Leave a comment

Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece. It is part of the Olympus massif near the Gulf of Thérmai of the Aegean Sea, located in the Olympus Range on the border between Thessaly and Macedonia, between the regional units of Pieria and Larissa, about 80 km southwest from Thessaloniki.

Olympus is a mythical journey that you must make as life goes on. Do not underestimate it because it can cost you your life. Show respect to the mountain, prepare very well and climb the most mythical mountain that our homeland has.One September morning, I decided to go up the mountain. I put the basic stuff in my backpack, tied my boots and started climbing. 2 hours to the shelter of Spilios Agapitos and another 2 to the plateau of the Muses. This is what I remembered from the last time.In a difficult passage to the cutter, I got stuck. On the one hand I was looking at the saws and I say if I fall I will be back at the starting point after 6 hours of climbing. Passing by some other riders offered to put a hand. Well dude what do you have inside, weighs over 20 pounds. I answer the absolutely necessary. Drones, battery chargers, everything you need to capture the beauty of the mountain.I used up 100% of my biological battery and discovered a hidden one that I did not know existed and had never used.But when I reached the plateau of the muses, the magic of nature was revealed. I flew as high as I could. MAGIC.

Legend says that Olympus was the home of the 12 Olympian gods. The very religious ancient Greeks believed that the world was created by immortal deities. These gods and their actions served as an example to the Greeks and they were also used to explain phenomena the people of that time were not able to explain in another way. The gods were also called upon for help and support in difficult times by way of worshiping, prayers, and offers.
