2011 marked the 6th year we have produced daily online video content at the Tour de France.  This year was a little different in that we only attended the 1st half of the race with the VeloNews crew. After the start of stage 11 we headed to the train station on route to Paris and flew back to Colorado the following day.  All told it was a very exciting first 10 stages of racing.  Much of the content we shot and edited can be found on the VeloNews site  – http://velonews.competitor.com/category/tour-de-france  Here are a few videos from our daily list, which included a daily diary with HTC – Highroad rider Bernie Eisel and a post race wrap with Ben and Andy:

We recently completed a 10-day project for VeloNews magazine that covered the 2008 Amgen Tour of California. Beginning in Palo Alto and ending in Pasadena, we produced daily video interviews with the athletes, team managers and others that make up the traveling circus of this years edition of the Amgen Tour of California.

We also provided video content for the amgentourofcalifornia.com website, which included daily press conferences that were held post race. Thanks to Portent Interactive for helping establish a system for trading files over the 10 day stretch.

Our workflow, which included in car editing on some transfers to the finish line, capturing directly to a hard disc recorder when available, and setting up editing templates to save time, allowed for a large amount of content to be posted on a daily basis. We produced over 100 individual video clips in just 10 days.

All of these videos can be found at www.velonews.tv under the Tour of California tab.
