Production & perspective

Inside the action.
Across the edit.

The scale of the shoot made it possible to capture the same event from multiple perspectives. An airfield provided the setting for the race; the camera coverage and drone added a wider view of the action.

My role combined directing and editing with appearing on camera and driving one of the cars. Those responsibilities connected the experience inside the vehicle with the story shaped in the final edit.

The film is presented in its original language. Playback starts only when you choose to watch.

Production & finished film

From a multi-camera shoot to a finished story

The production brought two BMW M5s to a closed airfield and captured the race across 14 cameras and a drone. My contribution combined direction, editing and participation on camera. The final deliverable is an 8 minute 53 second film, with a dedicated cover that makes the race’s central comparison immediate.
