1. Ghana Street Dancers

This footage can’t fail to put a smile on your face. We follow a dancer walking through an urban setting in Ghana to join her friends. They dance under an overpass – both together and showcasing their solo skills – and their enthusiasm and joy are infectious.

2. FPV Operator

A fantastic beginning-to-end story. We see our first-person drone operator arrive at a racing track for a day of shooting. He carefully prepares his drone for the shoot and starts filming as the car races around the track. The story blends footage of the drone operator with footage taken by the drone itself.

8. Retro Aerobics Workout

Fluorescent lycra like you’ve never seen it before (they didn’t have 4k in the 80s – maybe we should be grateful). This tongue-in-cheek homage to an old-school workout, complete with ghetto blasters and sweatbands, is great fun.
