Sea Turtles Nesting
Description
Several times a year, thousands of sea turtles make their way to this beach in Ostional Wildlife Refuge to lay their eggs. Egg harvesting has been legalized in this area to generate income for the community and encourage conservation. Observe this mass-nesting, known as arribada in 360 video, and learn more about the egg harvesting.
What Works Well
This video puts the viewer at beach level with a large group of sea turtles to allow for a great view of the nesting process as well as painting a picture of conservation efforts in Costa Rica to protect the species and its chosen beach.

Level of Guidance
What does this mean?
The Level of Guidance indicates how much the creator has imbued the video with a sense of at what the viewer should be looking.
For instance, a Level 1 video would mean that the camera has been left in place while life happens around it, allowing you, as the viewer, to simply observe. A Level 2 video might incorporate subtle visual, textual or audible hints or simple transitions. A Level 3 video would rely on a handful of hints and transition. A Level 4 video would employ multiple hints and dialogue. And a Level 5 video would rely on all of the above as well as a narrative arc that pushes the viewer forward.
Another way of looking at this would be how much production went into the video if you are considering making one of your own like it.
