Earlier this year, I signed a contract to join the Blancpain GT World Challenge Series as a Producer on their Media and Marketing team.
This series races all over North America and features some pretty amazing cars in different race classes - GT3, GT4, TCR, and Touring Cars.
In my role as Producer for the series, I was tasked with shooting high quality still photos and video clips for editorial usage and social media marketing.
Click the photo above for a link to an editorial that I published on the high traffic global car culture website, Speedhunters.
I was also asked to shoot video interviews at multiple events to fulfill sponsorship packages that the series sold to the drivers in the different classes and the overall sponsors for the series.
I did NOT edit the videos. I did not color grade the final videos, and I did not shoot the on-track action footage of the cars. The series was already working with others for video editing, so I was only asked to provide raw video interview footage, then submit to their team for editing.
If you’ve clicked around my website enough to familiarize yourself with the imagery I produce, I think it’s pretty easy to tell which scenes I shot and which ones were shot by someone else. You can easily tell by the sharpness of the image. Same with the color grading.
Here are some links to the completed videos:
This is a promotional video for series sponsor Purple Monkey Garage, a consulting company. I shot the interview footage with Josh Tolley, CEO of Purple Monkey Garage and Kavana Rum, as well as the supporting B-Roll lifestyle footage around the paddock and pit areas.
