Blending Worlds!
I’ve officially rewired my maximum enthusiasm circuits by becoming a Live Stories Producer for the Boombox Team.
I think I learnt to grit the clutch joke..at the perfect time by producing live stories for the 2nd Round of the eSkootr Championship in Sion. High five’s?
These factual shorts were globally broadcast on the BBC iPlayer, DAZN, Helbiz, Ryde TV and international sports channels for a first of it’s kind, sustainable, next gen electric-racing series!
As a story producer, I became part of the unstoppable Boombox/Esc editorial team. Finding my niche developing storylines amidst the electric atmosphere of the live race.
You would find me on track chasing down riders for their back stories…or with one of the Swiss racing favourites, Jam Guerchadi discovering an underground lake, the oldest Valais winery and Sion’s very own wind tunnel.
Coming up with ideas to drive story, prepping interview questions and producing one, or two studio shoots also helped me to keep up my pace!
In this completely new form of racing AND with the goal of being carbon neutral right from the jump, meant that the Boombox team approach to broadcasting the eSC was as unique as the on track action.
From go, the goal from the eSC was clear: Make this new sport look like a video game. With top speeds hovering around 100km/h - conveying the sense of speed was KPI #1. Using a combination of FPV drones and onboard cameras - the sense of speed came through on stream.
Thanks to Alexa Lavergne (Executive Producer) Will Nangle (Director), Verdy (Camera Man), Leisha C (Production Manager) and the rest of the edit and the live broadcasting team. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you all.
