Belair reveals stunning moving images of iconic Malta

Property consultants Belair have recently launched a video at http://www.belair.com.mt/moving-malta/ comprised of spectacular moving images of the Maltese Islands. Aimed primarily at showcasing the hugely diverse beauty of the Maltese archipelago, the video boasts timelapse footage shot in a range of iconic locations including St Paul's Islands, the Valletta breakwater and Gozo's Mġarr Harbour at dawn, Valletta streets and cafes at midday, and Marsamxett Harbour at dusk.

Ian Casolani from Belair explained that although the video does portray the charm and beauty of these islands, one should not view it simply at face value. Casolani went on to say that, "Just as Belair aims to go much further than selling our clients a property and handing the keys over, this video is aimed at being more than what meets the eye. Malta is a complex, layered and beautiful place, and realizing this takes more than just a single look. In essence, the message behind the video is that there is far more to Malta than just sand, sea and sun. Our country is unmatched anywhere else in the Mediterranean; its safety, stability, business opportunities, cosmopolitan centres, quiet town centres, and seaside panoramas make this place a veritable gem in the sea."

Visibly enthused by the finished product, Casolani explained that the video was shot over a number of weeks in around 40 different locations all across the Maltese Islands. Created by the team at Hangar Creative Agency, the aim was to do things differently so a video composed of hyper-lapses was created, as opposed to standard video shots of the locations.

Hyperlapse is an imaging technique in which a large number of photos are shot over time and then stitched together so as to create powerful moving images. The music accompanying the video was also composed especially for the project.

Bolstered by the success of the video which garnered over 5000 views in a matter of hours, Casolini stated that he is certain the video will get viewers to marvel at the Maltese islands' natural and architectural beauty. "In the end," Casolani went on to say, "that's exactly what we want to open people's eyes to; that Malta offers more."
