Case Study

How I helped Vienna City Marathon document Austria’s largest outdoor sporting event


About the Client


The Vienna City Marathon hosts Austria’s largest outdoor sports event each year.

They wanted to document the event across the entire weekend, taking into account multiple locations along the course, quick turnarounds, and precise race timings.

The Challenge


Together with the amazing crew we pulled together, we shot across more than 1/2 of the race course, timing out precise key moments, filming the 45,000+ runners and capturing moments remember.

Our Solution


With the 4 Camera Ops, 4 Runners/Gimbal Ops, and 2 Editors, we documented key parts of the race as well as delivered 18 key deliverables and a content library of all the action over the weekend.

The Result


The How-To

A simple, stress-free production process

Pre-Shoot Preparation

We align on your vision, shot list, style preferences, and logistical needs. I assess technical requirements, plan camera setups, lenses, movement, and workflows so every shoot day runs smoothly.

On-Set Shooting & Execution

On location, I manage camera operations — framing, lighting collaboration, movement, composition, and adapting to changing conditions. My focus is on capturing footage that fits your creative and production goals, reliably and professionally.

Wrap & Delivery

After the shoot, I ensure all footage is organized, backed up, and delivered in formats that integrate seamlessly into your post-production flow. I also coordinate with your editor if needed to support a smooth edit phase with clear deliverables and organisation.
