Explore the creative directionTHE CREATIVE BRIEF
Show the path of the action, not just the athlete.
Choose the peak of a single movement. Place the camera so the approach, direction, and surrounding scale remain understandable.
Describe contact points
For climbing, cycling, and skiing, check hands, feet, equipment, and their contact with the surface.
Keep motion continuous
In short videos, specify one action with a clear start and finish. Review the full clip for changing equipment and broken trajectories.
