Ghent, hidden pearl of Flanders

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Ghent is the capital city of Belgium's Flanders region, as the northern part of the country is known. Situated at the confluence of the Scheldt and Leie Rivers, it's Belgium's third-largest city. Ghent was founded in the early Middle Ages, and by 1300 it was the largest city in Europe north of Paris. Devastated during the 80 Years War in the 16th-17th centuries, it remains an important commercial center. In this DVOW nominated video by in*motion, you'll get an aerial tour of this great cultural and historical treasure.

Do you remember ‘Ghent in Motion’? In this film project in 2013, we were the pioneers of capturing Ghent from the air, using drones. Today, five years later, both the city and the audiovisual techniques have evolved to such an extent that a sequel was required. Just like 'Ghent in Motion', 'Ghent from the Sky' again pushes the boundaries to an upper level. Better cameras and lenses allowed us to make breathtaking, sharp and even more profound images of our beautiful city of Ghent. In the summer of 2018, our cameras flew over the city for twenty days. In the devoted and seamlessly edited result, the medieval city center and the Ghentian architecture play the leading role.
