Tribe 'Run for Love 3 ' | Full campaign

In 2019/20 I edited a series of 8 short films and 1 feature length documentary for Tribe about the 'Run for Love', A 250Km Ultra Marathon to raise funds against human trafficking. The short films ranged from trailers, to fast turnaround, story-driven event updates and films to generate fundraising. As a team , our objective was to elevate the films beyond standard event coverage. As the editor I aimed to do this by weaving as much emotion and drama throughout the films as possible to reflect the scale of the challenge, the highs and lows of undertaking such a feat and the cause binding them all together. My role extended beyond editing to include sound design, animation and colour grading. I used this project as a chance to push myself in developing my After Effects skills, and I enjoyed creating the motion graphics, lower thirds and 3D 'landslice' maps. I was also heavily involved in pre-production and collaborated with the director, producer and DOP throughout the process. Some of the key challenges were working to a fast turnaround and managing many hours of rushes and archive material. For the main event we released 3 x 5minute films in 8 days, which were cut down from around 35 hours of rushes. This was a fantastic project to work on and I am looking forward to releasing the documentary this year.
