CASE STUDY

Irish Open Swimming Championships

Challenge

To live stream Swim Ireland's five day Irish Open Championships in the National Aquatic Centre. The pool for this competition was 50 meters with race length ranging from 50 - 1000 meters. With many swimmers hoping to achieve qualifying times.

Solution

Given the length of the pool was 50 meters, a 15 meter rail was incorporated into the 4 camera production to give the viewer a smooth vertically moving view of the athletes moving across the middle of the pool allowing for an elevated camera to capture race starts and finishes. A finish line camera allowed for close up slow motion replays to be created for each race. Each day's finals session was introduced with a brief interview was coaching and performance staff and concluded with post race, pool-side interviews of the days top performing swimmer.

The competition streams generated over 34,000 views and 105 subscribers for our client Swim Ireland's Youtube Account. With a reach of 212,241 impressions, over 7,000 hours were watched across 25 countries between the 19th and 23rd of April 2022.
