Sporting a reddish hue

Of our team, I was the sole sun-burnt Videographer.


The marching band put on an inspiring show, the perfect finale to a successful sports day.

We got the call from Efficient E-solutions to cover their inter-group sports day at Panasonic Stadium. More than 1,000 staff including their families and participants from around the country would be at ground zero.

Registration would start at 7am, just as the sun began its daily climb. The entire event would last the entire day, right up to dusk. Games comprising badminton, futsal, and bowling were held indoors. Athletics, 100M and relay 4 X 100M took were the last event and took place outdoors, when the afternoon sun was blazing down.

Which is why wearing sunblock was important.

Of our team, I was the sole sun-burnt Videographer. Thankfully my Videographer vest has a high collar and it saved my neck from sporting a reddish hue like my hands.

We were all impressed by how our client organised the event. Especially since by corporate standards the head count was a daunting figure. They rented the stadium, hired professional referees and even mass produced corporate t-shirts for everyone.

While our client kept up with their schedule, we tried to grab as many shots as we could through a break in the netting and prayed a stray futsal ball wouldn't hit us in the face!

The 100M race was interesting. I managed to get a good spot to capture the race- in the middle of the track. No one paid me a second glance as the revolver's shot sent the runners hurtling towards me.

The marching band that strode smartly onto the field during the closing ceremony left us awestruck with both the epic feel and the synergy portrayed.

To date we've presented the first draft of the video to our clients. We hope to upload it by the second week of June. Stay tuned!
