Race coverage usually looks the same: start line, follow and drone in the middle and finish line. For the Marathon du Mont-Blanc, we flipped the brief. One race day, shot and cut like a campaign film: athletes first, the race in the background, the mountain doing the rest.

Race events are a big part of what we do. We cover them regularly for Salomon, Shokz and other brands, across the biggest races in the calendar: UTMB, Marathon du Mont-Blanc, Golden Trail World Series, Marseille Outdoor Experience, Hardrock 100. Fast turnaround, small crews, films that still look like films.

This is the final piece. The machine behind it, crew, workflow, same-day deliverables, is in our case study.
