Mothership for Speedo Olympic Team

With the idea of letting no great opportunity go to waste, with 15 members of their Olympic Team all in one place, Speedo tapped the skills of Mothership to arrange the production support of this ambitious shoot. On site in Saga, Japan, over the course of two days, this production brought an extensive team of local technical talent together to support the visiting four photographers and underwater videographers shooting simultaneously on deck and underwater. Video campaign imagery, still campaign imagery, and a massive amount of social media assets were generated in an incredibly short period of time and formed the foundation of all final deliverables. Although the three 18Ks running non-stop near the water presented the greatest worry, the real obstacle turned out be having enough coffee to keep it all running. For a deeper look click here.
