Sydney Marathon

At Teel some of the team consider themselves to be “runners” so we were very keen to take this on as a passion project. We approached local legend and accomplished athlete Russel Dessaix-Chin, Australian Marathon record holder Brett Robinson and fellow Melbourne athlete Tess Marks to talk to them about their preparation, goals and expectations for the marathon. These mini-documentaries were then used on Sydney Marathon’s social media outlets to promote the event and get more athletes excited to sign up.

We were also lucky to have Jo The Boy provide us with the perfect track for Tess’ edit, we’re super stoked on the final products.

But these videos didn’t come together without challenges. Turns out filming runners is a difficult task, with a mix of shooting from a van, running with a gimbal and wating for a static shot while our athletes ran around the track, this one took some creative problem solving to get the shot.

Below are some of our favourite video frames and stills.
