Replying to Traveling Circus wins over Nipwitz... again?
Sure, both series are great in their own ways and it's all a matter of perspective... but honestly, in my opinion this time TC did not deserve the award. With a nice season behind them, the episodes were still a bit all over the place in both quality of production and skiing. Still supreme compared to many other series, but hey, it's the big leagues, and TC is mostly fisheye follow cams in random park environments due to some limitations.
Nipwitz on the other hand supplied an overhaul of their image after joining up with Flatlight Films and really bringing out the importance of cinematography and production values, fleshing out narratives in Serbia and rural Russia as well as the icy reigns of Lapland. Each episode had a different feel, a different theme and a consitency on bringing out the best parts of the places they were visiting.
I don't know how else I could spin it and I hate saying "ooooh, this and that shoulda won over those and them", but in this case and this season, I feel Nipwitz should have gotten the award for Best Webisode, hands down.
