EMBEDDED WITH THE AGORIA SOLAR TEAM, WE TRAVELED ACROSS THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK FOLLOWING A GROUP OF ELITE ENGINEERING STUDENTS FROM BELGIUM AS THEY COMPETED IN THE BRIDGESTONE WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE. WORKING ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE TOP ENGINEERING SCHOOLS IN THE WORLD, THE SERIES EXPLORED THE INTERSECTION OF INNOVATION, ENDURANCE, COMPETITION, AND HUMAN RESILIENCE INSIDE ONE OF THE MOST DEMANDING RACES ON THE PLANET.

AS CO-EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, I FIELD DIRECTED A SMALL CREW LIVING OUT OF AN RV WHILE TRAVELING THOUSANDS OF MILES ACROSS REMOTE TERRAIN AND CONSTANTLY CHANGING RACE CONDITIONS. I DIRECTED SCENES, CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS, OPERATED CAMERA, AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE TEAM THROUGHOUT PRODUCTION TO CAPTURE BOTH THE TECHNICAL COMPLEXITY OF THE RACE AND THE EMOTIONAL PRESSURE SURROUNDING THE COMPETITION.

IN POST, WE CRAFTED STORIES BALANCING ACTION, SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, AND HUMAN ENDURANCE THROUGH A COMBINATION OF VÉRITÉ FOOTAGE, CINEMATIC RACE COVERAGE, INTERVIEWS, DRONES, RED CAMERAS, PHANTOM HIGH-SPEED SYSTEMS, GOPROS, AND MOBILE CAMERA RIGS DESIGNED TO IMMERSE VIEWERS DIRECTLY INSIDE THE EXPERIENCE.
