Air Malta today released a new exciting video on its Youtube channel. The video shows Gnejna beach lit by a grid of hundreds of candles some of which are turned on and off in a planned sequence to create moving time lapse animation picture frames.

The unusual ‘candle’ sequences feature a number of iconic Maltese images including a typical ‘Gardjola’ (watchtower) and the ubiquitous summer fireworks displays. The project was filmed in a single night under the supervision of internationally acclaimed photographer Kurt Arrigo. 434 candles were used to make this clip.

“We are looking for new and interesting ways to capture people’s imagination,” said Philip Saunders, Air Malta’s Chief Commercial Officer. “We wanted to take something in common use and utilise these beautiful candles to tell our Maltese story,” added Mr Saunders.

The song of the clip, ‘Il-Mara Fuq il-Bejt’ was composed by Maltese folk-pop band Stalko, and taken from their album, Grandiloquence. This video clip follows a series of hugely Air Malta popular clips that went viral online and have been watched thousands of times.
