For the launch of their Dinghy Collection Musto asked us to create a film that explored the psychology of dedicated athletes on their journey towards the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, and profiled Musto’s product as the edge they need to succeed.
To achieve this we developed a concept that would follow five national sailing teams from British, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and Holland from pre-race preparation to game day – our narrative dialled in to their continued struggle for success on the biggest stage of all.
Capturing our athletes in action at the Bay of Palma, our film uses tempo and pace to contrast the intense physical and mental aspects of the sport, utilising cinematic shots that place equal emphasis on product, emotion and action.
In order to extend this story and provide a suite of tools that Musto could roll out over the course of the year, we complemented the main film with a set of profiles of the most prominent team members.
