Columbia Muddy Buddy Boulder
This is the third year in a row OnSight Media has been the official production company for the Muddy Buddy Boulder event. Columbia is the title sponsor this year in all 18 cities across the US. The production workflow consisted of a single camera and operator that followed the racers around the Boulder reservoir as they completed each obstacle. Post production took a couple of days to edit and encode the individual video clips for online viewing via the Columbia Muddy Buddy website. Additional video on DVD will be used for future event promotion.
3x Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington was in attendance in Boulder, CO as the official race starter. She also participated with the 10-year old Mini-Muddy Buddy field for a trip through the mud pit:

Muddy Buddy is fun, but that’s really all it is–it’s not that hard or challenging like Tough Mudder, which I am training for. Whatup P90X.
