Italy-based WOW Tapes wows with awesome video featuring Masbate

Italy-based video production group WOW Tapes describes itself as “a collective of video wayfarer heroes” who “ wander the earth to bring wonder back to the earth.”

And with their latest video shot in Masbate, Philippines, it continues to live up to that promise.

We know, we know. You might be asking, “What’s in Masbate?” Well, it took a bunch of adventurous foreigners to figure that out.

“When we were telling people that, somewhere in the east, there’s a stunning postcard looking tropical place, where a deep cowboy culture and exotic Asian traditions blend flawlessly, not many of them believed us,” WOW Tapes wrote on its Vimeo post.

Italian filmmakers Fabio Reitano and Simone Menin worked together to create the video while they checking out “the powerful Rodeo Festival.”

And yes, we do have a rodeo festival here in the Philippines.

The two described their trip as “an immersive trip made of island hopping, horse riding, food exploring, and most of all, amazing people.”

The video was shot using a myriad of cameras and devices like Sony A7s, Canon 600d, and of course GoPro Hero 3. And in case you’re wondering, that hippy trippy music is by Liam Aiden entitled Technicolor.

WOW Tapes also released an incredibly moving appreciation video about the Philippines and Indonesia.
