・Acceptance Speech
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for receiving the Okinawa Charm Award.
I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who voted, as well as to the Okinawa Resort Wedding Association for organizing such a wonderful contest every year.
・About the Award-Winning Works
I moved to Okinawa three years ago and was deeply impressed by its beautiful scenery and wonderful culture.
We produced this film out of a desire to share Okinawa’s unique culture with a wider audience through video.
・What Inspired Me to Become a Photographer and Videographer
When I was a student, I loved going on trips with my friends, and I would edit the videos I took during those trips and give them to my friends as gifts.
Seeing how happy my friend was made me realize the appeal of video production, and I became even more passionate about it.
・Future Activities
We will continue to provide wonderful videos and strive to share the charms of Okinawa with as many people as possible.
Thank you to everyone who “liked” the contest.
And to all the photo and video photographers who submitted their work
Thank you so much!
