BELGIAN SOLAR TEAM
documenting the Sasol Solar Challenge in South Africa
THE IDEA
Documenting the team's journey in the Sasol Solar Challenge, an 8-day endurance race stretching from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
THE CHALLENGE
With just two cameras, a drone, and determination, our goal was to capture the daily triumphs, setbacks, and insights of the team. Daily recaps meant real-time storytelling, with the essence of the day distilled into captivating visuals.
Intimate interviews with the team gave depth and perspective, allowing viewers to step into the shoes of these young innovators. This added a personal touch, making each update resonate more deeply with those watching from thousands of miles away.
THE JOURNEY
Eight nights in tents, battling the extremes of the South African climate, and a need to be agile with minimal equipment. Yet, the challenges only intensified our determination to tell the most authentic story.
The raw beauty of South Africa was the perfect backdrop for our story.
THE IMPACT
The series of recap videos not only kept supporters engaged but also showcased the dedication, innovation, and resilience of the Belgian Solar Team. This visual journey became a strong proposition for potential sponsors, highlighting the team's commitment and capability.
