This is an insanely perfect ad. We got the same content we love, you got some sponsorship money, and Fujifilm got to showcase their brand and their cool marketing idea to people who are very primed to like it Whoever in Fujifilm got this to happen was a fucking genius
yes, I really liked it too. good combination. The only thing I was slightly bummed out about, though, was the use of a phone instead of a camera (especially as an ad for fujifilm, if they are not completely different to myfujifilm)
Seriously. I honestly saw this more of a partnership/collaboration than a sponsorship/ad, especially as a viewer. It was one of the few times I actually enjoyed watching an ad knowing the context of everything within it. Such a wholesome video
I hate adverts. All of them. I don't know how anyone can be happy that a multi million dollar corporation is doing everything they can to influence your behaviour and give them money.
I went on Google maps to get a look at the building behind it more closely and the 'points' at the top of the bull are actually just interspersed columns of brick that styop halfway up the building, so they just happened to align up with the red canopy.
It clearly was some beach canopy/tent/gazebo kind of thing and he obsessed over it like it was like 50 year old structure still standing and is iconic.
It is. Just as different parts of Norway are different from others. I live in Norway. And I´m playing Geoguessr. I know all too well how close those differences might be.
I really struggle to watch videos fully based on a sponsorship but that was a perfect partnership. I'm a complete cynic and I even enjoyed watching the Fujifilm advert at the end. Fair play
I agree. One of the best sponsorships of a TH-cam video ever. I mean the entire video was based on the sponsorship, yet it was exactly what we came to watch anyways!
Maybe, We just don´t know if the pay is fair, though. Otherwise - well done, for both. I like Tom, and I like Fujifilm, got tons of dickpix from there, had a mate that sent me everyone from my area. A few other of these as well, come to think of it. Like ExtraFilm, or Knudsen. I had months of entertainment just from a few vacay rolls!

Hey Tom, the mountain in Menorca (Monte Toro) is named after the Catalan word for "hill" which is "Turó". It is not related to the Spanish word for bull, which is indeed Toro. Awesome video!
The red thing is a tent/parasol thing, square with a support on each corner to pitch it up. Makes sense for a cove, there shouldn't be much wind to blow it away.
The first one of these when i knew exactly where it was! I stayed in that hotel at the top of the hill a few years ago. Absolutely crazy! well done Tom!
great detective work. I'll have to check out Fujifilm again because the quality looks amazing. In an age where we have thousands of photos in our pocket that we never looks at, there's something special about a moment that we can hold in our hands and pass between generations. Thanks, Tom
I’m a photography obsessed Geowizard subscriber, currently on holiday in Japan. The number of young people I see walking around with high end rangefinders and older film camera is very heartening and I was in a small store marvelling at all the actual Fuji film on sale. And I’ve taken over 5000 photos in the two weeks I’ve been here and I expect that to reach about 8000 by the time I go home. There will certainly be some photo printing going on and I’m happy to give Fujifilm my business just for sponsoring Geowizard!
I don't get taking pictures of tourist attractions when it's been done so many times. Nobody cares about those 5000 pictures but you so why isn't just experiencing the place good enough?
@ who says I’m just taking photos of tourist attractions? I’ve already had people say that my photos are great and I haven’t even got home yet. Google “pistonheads first solo trip to Japan” and you’ll find a very small selection of my photos under the name “LunarOne”…
@@Joseph-xe1ry Because they're his photos, that he took when on his holiday. Somebody else's photo of something may be meaningless to me but my photo will always remind me of the experience that I had.
Phenomenal video and ad partnership. Congrats to the guy at Fujifilm (which Tom DID pronounce correctly btw…) for setting this up and for Tom for checking his emails and accepting the sponsorship!
Dammit, yes, that's a very good call. Unless all the trees are made of the hardest wearing plastic, I'd have no option but to call shenanigans on that one, which would be a shame. But then, it's hardly unknown for adverts (even good ones) to exaggerate a bit. :(
As soon as you bought the picture up I knew where it was. I have spent many a family holiday on that very beach! This video bought a huge smile to my face as always, thanks Geowizard!
Quite aside from the fact Fujifilm reached out to you for this sponsorship (which is great, BTW, match made in heaven!), the ad itself is really neat. Especially considering it's marketing a product that is probably not all that popular in the digital age.
Thanks for making these videos, Tom, they really help me get the hang of the english language. I'm currently trying to pass a level C1 language exam, the writing part is already done, tomorrow will be the big day of the oral exam! P. s.: the adventure videos helped me a lot :D
They are showing that even when you take photos on your phone you can still use Fujifilm for prints. If they used one of their cameras they would lose a lot of viewers who see themselves as potential customers since many people will never use anything other than a phone to take photos.
Thanks for bringing back the wonderful memories of my holidays in Menorca in 2011. We had a great afternoon in Cala en Porter. The kids hadn't grown up yet, the sun was shining, the water was clear. Jose was still among us and we went snorkling. Diving was like being transported to another world, full of colourful fish. That evening my friends gave a small party for my 40's.
Years ago, as an amateur GeoLocator, I used Google Earth to find paramotor flying sites from TH-cam videos. It was easy in the UK, but doing it worldwide from photos alone, as you do, is next level. 👍
I love watching Tom find these locations and the premise of this is cool but they already knew the location of the pic because they sent the photo back the next day and other pics of the holiday too. It would be really cool if they actually needed the help or tasked Tom to find it.
That was brilliant. I really enjoyed that. Good content. I can see myself recreating some of my childhood photos, locating and revisiting places we'd been as a family. Yes, I think this could catch on.
Really enjoyed the video. After watching I screengrabbed the original and Google Lens found it straight away. Tom, you've got too much time on your hands ;-)
It's an ad; I am guessing both Carolle and Martha (and her friend) are actors/models and probably not related. The original photos may have been real but the "daughter's" trip was most likely staged by the ad agency. It is a great investigation video nonetheless, and the fact that we all watched an ad on TH-cam to the end means sponsorship money well spent by FujiFilm.
We all know film photography majorly fell off due to digital cameras and of course the celll phone, but the instant pictures that print out of the bottom of the camera are really fun and I really love having the physical pic to hand to my friends during an adventure. It was a phenomenal idea and i recommend everyone try it out.
I watched three amazing movies from three different continents today. The Wild Robot (2024), Maharaja (2024) & A Man Escaped (1956) and just as I finished, Tom's video I've been waiting for three months drops. Just perfect!

Agreed, props to Fujifilm for being creative too!
@@Brukernavnn now the true question is: who stole from who and who's suing who?
Well done Fujifilm! That the kind of sponsorship we as the internet like.
"Internet Approves Of Sponsorship Deal" @SievertSchreiber I can see the headlines now!
Those re-created photos are so impressive! Pretty cool project, to get so technically close to the originals.
Tom sees a red gazebo on a beach.
"HARK! THIS IS EVIDENCE OF THE PROTO-RED BULL!!!"
Love you man.
It probably was a red gazebo. When I saw it in the background before Tom even honed in on it, I thought it looked like a giant crab statue.
I can't stop laughing at this, such incredible perception and then will just go on a mad one with an idea haha
Never change Tom
Haha, I totally thought of Crab People from South Park - a crab people statue! 😂😜
Ok, I'll see myself out now... 🫡
I went on Google maps to get a look at the building behind it more closely and the 'points' at the top of the bull are actually just interspersed columns of brick that styop halfway up the building, so they just happened to align up with the red canopy.

That's because Carole & Martha are real people recreating genuine holiday photos and not just actors promoting something.

Lol @ the bull rabbithole 😂 it's just a bunch of restaurant parasols + two lines on the building behind it.
That's what the Big Red Bull _wants_ you to think.
Yep 👍
Probably a coca cola one
i would guess it was a festival street parade
Hats off the to the marketing guy for realizing the potential here. Lovely collab.
God damn this could do as a case study on how adverts are done right
Frankly, this is the joy that people get when going into advertising and marketing too. The great ones can even make a living doing this for a career.
I found someone's dad for them from a 1992 photo last week so they could recreate it. Was such a great feeling. Absolutely love this content.
Next time turn it into a video we all can enjoy :)

This is how you should do commercial co-op! 100% match. Hats off to Fujifilm, excellent marketing!
This might be the best TH-cam sponsorship I've ever seen. What an amazing idea and the finished ad is fine, too.
This is the type of ad I can get behind
Tom the positive feedback in these comments is crazy, you've absolutely struck gold here. Good on ya mate

Love that Fujifilm contaced you, what a great partnership, and class content as always!
This was a cool addition to an already excellent format.
The red thing is a tent/parasol thing, square with a support on each corner to pitch it up. Makes sense for a cove, there shouldn't be much wind to blow it away.
The two lines are on the building behind the parasols. They are visible in the new photo.
Nope, you can see a pile of red kayaks on a trailer at 17:37 the "horns" are part of the building (parking bays under the building).
My family is from menorca every summer we go there, I've been to Cala en Porter dozens of times and i didn't even noticed where it was... AMAZING
22:34 that’s a red beach tent mate 😂 got me screaming all video hahaha
Low key Carolle moggin her daughter in those photos. The hair was absolutely amazing.
What

Great video Tom. Super detective work. How cool that Fuji recognise your greatness.
My favourite series is finally back! Every time can't wait to see more of that, it's incredibly satisfying, educational and entertaining as well!
That old fujifilm really brings out greens too
Looked way nicer than the recreation.
You can’t argue with analogue film
@@werdlederdle Damn right, easily superior to digital pics.
Love it. Definitely a fitting ad for the channel, and you definitely deserve it.

Yeah I don't think they are advertising either cameras or film here.
They do high-quality prints
They are showing that even when you take photos on your phone you can still use Fujifilm for prints. If they used one of their cameras they would lose a lot of viewers who see themselves as potential customers since many people will never use anything other than a phone to take photos.
