Sky Sports crew film a wild Brazilian Grand Prix
Catherine Balston • Nov 29, 2019
A Story Productions crew joined a team from Sky at the nail-biting Grand Prix in São Paulo as part of a shoot for a Sky Sports Formula One TV commercial
The Brazilian Grand Prix is a hot ticket for Formula 1 fans in November. It may not be the final race in the season – Abu Dhabi now takes that crown, with the finale coming up this weekend – but the Brazilian circuit, at Interlagos in São Paulo, is still the champion when it comes to drama.
This year was no different, with an action-packed final few laps that will likely see this race go down in history. Both Ferraris clashed, Lewis Hamilton tipped Red Bull’s Alex Albon out of second place while Albon’s teammate Max Verstappen passed Hamilton twice to claim victory in what was a gripping end to the race.
A Story Productions crew was lucky enough to be at the racetrack to see – and hear (those engines top the decibel chart) – the drama unfold with a team from Sky Sports in the UK. The Sky team were shooting the Brazilian Grand Prix as part of a series of shoots around the world in the coming months to produce a TV commercial, due to air on the Sky Sports Formula One channel at the start of the tournament early next year.
Story Productions provided a production assistant, a driver and a logger to join the Sky crew at the Interlagos circuit. We got the call from Sky just a few days before the race and were delighted to arrange on-the-ground production support as well as all their equipment requests, including an ARRI ALEXA mini camera as well as Cooke lenses, at the last minute.
The Story crew has years of experience shooting and providing bilingual production support at large sporting events. From live satellite broadcasts of football matches
to international coverage of the Rio Olympics and 2014 FIFA World Cup, we’re also producing our own docu-reality series
following a group of young karting drivers in São Paulo.
