Meet the Second Round Winners

Today, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on the next group of standout creators whose videos have taken the competition to new heights. These moments capture the spirit of adventure and the extraordinary possibilities enabled by Insta360 cameras.

Winner 1: Andrea Floresta
Moment Title: Aerial Flight in Low Visibility Conditions

Andrea Floresta, a professional pilot with a deep passion for travel and engines, has lived in various countries, including Italy, Germany, Guatemala, Mexico, and the USA. His love for photography complements his adventurous spirit, and he’s never without his camera bag.

In his winning video, Andrea captures a stunning aerial flight under low visibility conditions early one morning in Europe. "The 360-point of view allowed me to leave the camera in a fixed position, capturing multiple perspectives, and then choosing the best shot in post-production," he shares. The shot, captured with an Insta360 camera, highlights the versatility of 360-degree filming in challenging environments, giving a unique perspective on the world below.

Having used the entire Insta360 series for a range of projects, from cars to airplanes, Andrea continues to explore new ways to capture breathtaking footage. "I’m always experimenting, studying, and refining my approach," he says. His philosophy of creativity is simple: "Try, experiment, study, correct, and repeat." For Andrea, winning the competition was a proud moment in his creator journey.

Winner 2: Adi Putra
Moment Title: Climbing Mount Rinjani and Swimming with Blacktip Sharks

Adi Putra, a content creator from Bandung, Indonesia, has been capturing incredible moments for years. His love for adventure and photography pushed him to enter the $100K Moments competition, where his passion and creativity won him the top spot.

In his winning video, Adi showcases his thrilling journey climbing Mount Rinjani while swimming with blacktip sharks off the coast of North Maluku. “The challenges were varied, but the moments were extraordinary,” he says. From scaling steep cliffs to navigating the waters with sharks, every shot was captured with precision, thanks to his Insta360 X4. Adi’s video reflects his knack for blending adventure with breathtaking visuals.

As a soon-to-be father, Adi plans to use his winnings to prepare for the new chapter in his life. "I’ll use it to help support my growing family and continue creating moments worth capturing," he shares. His advice to fellow creators? Keep pushing boundaries and capturing life in its rawest form.

Winner 3: Jonathan Lucan
Moment Title: Night Ride POV Reel with Custom Car Rigs

Jonathan Lucan, a filmmaker with a background in music, martial arts, and medicine, has always followed his creative instincts, taking an unconventional path toward his filmmaking career. After years of balancing medicine with his passion for storytelling, Jonathan finally made the leap to full-time filmmaking, where his innovative projects continue to push the boundaries of visual storytelling.

In his winning video, Jonathan shares a unique night ride POV, filmed in two parking garages with dramatic lighting to enhance the atmosphere. His custom-designed camera rigs, powered by the Insta360 ONE RS 1-Inch sensor and the Ace Pro 2, give the footage a cinematic feel that’s both thrilling and immersive. "Many viewers thought the footage was AI-generated, which to me is the ultimate compliment," Jonathan says.

The challenges were numerous—perfecting the camera rig, overcoming lighting obstacles, and even getting stopped by campus police during the shoot. But for Jonathan, it was all worth it. "The most fulfilling part was seeing the results surpass my expectations," he shares. Jonathan’s advice to other creators is simple: "Just create, and do it often. Don’t let the fear of failure hold you back." With a career that’s seen both success and failure, Jonathan knows firsthand that embracing the creative process is key to growth.
