This project followed athlete Milly Pickles as she took on the Red Bull Ibiza Royale - a demanding uphill obstacle race through Ibiza Old Town. The goal was to create a 30-minute documentary-style YouTube video that captured both the physical intensity of the event and Milly’s personal journey as an amputee athlete.
The film needed to balance high-energy race coverage with a more intimate, human narrative. It aimed to showcase not just the competition itself, but the preparation, resilience, and mindset required to take on such a challenge, offering her audience an authentic and inspiring behind-the-scenes perspective.
The focus was on blending cinematic storytelling with a natural, documentary-style feel.
Filmed over the course of a week, the approach allowed space to capture both the high-intensity race environment and the quieter, more personal moments that give the story depth.
A lightweight, agile setup was key — enabling real-time capture in fast-moving, unpredictable conditions while maintaining a polished visual standard.
The narrative was built around:
The aim was to create something that felt authentic, while still holding a strong cinematic edge.
The edit was shaped to hold attention across a full 30-minute runtime without losing pace or clarity.
A strong narrative structure was developed to guide the viewer from build-up through to the race itself, balancing high-energy sequences with more reflective moments.
Post-production focused on:
Every element was refined to ensure the final film felt cohesive, engaging, and elevated beyond standard vlog content
The final film delivers a high-impact, story-led documentary that captures both the scale of the event and the depth of Milly’s journey.
It positions her not just as a participant, but as a compelling athlete with a story worth following — while showcasing the level of production possible within a fast-paced, real-world environment.
A strong example of full-cycle production, combining storytelling, technical execution, and the ability to create long-form content that holds attention.
