Red Bull’s annual Year End Movie – a hyped event for both fans and employees – aims to highlight the very best of the brand’s projects while also providing the viewer with an inspiring, cohesive story throughout. No easy feat, but while making our way through over 300 projects we were able to craft a narrative throughline based on the stories of three young athletes and one musician. After shooting in LA and Portugal, I spent time at the Red Bull Media House in Salzburg with a fantastic team of editors, while the team at The Panics in Amsterdam took care of bespoke VFX.
