Behind the Scenes: Volvo Round the Island Speed Record
Volvo athletes, Team Bridge (Guy, Olly and Steph Bridge), set out to break the Round the Isle of Wight record on foiling kite boards. The team went on to set two world records, Guy set the fastest single handed sailor in 2hrs 32mins 25secs and Steph set the fastest female in 3hrs 3mins 24secs.
Behind the Scenes
I was onsite filming with Helical Productions as Camera-B and Photography for two of the four days of production. Here’s some shots from the project.
Team Helical headed out early morning to pick up additional b-roll footage along the West Cowes Parade.

Gear Up
Here is a quick run down of the equipment I used during the shoot.
All photos were taken on a Sony A7s ii, using a combination of lenses:
- Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 OS
- Sigma 10-20mm f3.5
Pro tip – Be prepared for your gear to get wet. Bring protection.

Additionally I took with me the Theta S 360º camera and managed to capture a shot onboard our rig. Check it out on my Facebook here:
Brecon Beacons BTS
Behind the scenes footage not shown on the original Brecon Beacons video As you may already know in November 2013, Charlie will be travelling to Nepal in order to commence a 3 week acclimatisation trek to Everest Base Camp area ahead of completing a 26.2 mile marathon on Mount Everest.
So far, fundraising has reached well over £1,000! Support has been incredible from friends and family alike. All support goes to Charlie’s chosen charities. Please head over to the Just Giving page (http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/CharlieTweed) if you would like to sponsor Charlie.
Charlie is undertaking this challenge to raise money and support for two charities, Women’s Aid and the Everest Marathon Fund – two great charities, both with the aim of helping others in need. None of the money raised will go towards paying for the expedition.
Women’s aid supports women and children fleeing domestic violence- did you know over two women per week are killed by current or ex-partners, and that one in four women in the UK will experience domestic violence in their lifetime?
The Everest Marathon Fund supports the Nepalese population in the Himalayas with basic things we would take for granted in the West.
