Working with Sky Creative,Knucklehead director Lieven van Baelen directed the launch film for Sky Sports’ forthcoming, exclusive live broadcasting of the 2019 Formula 1 season.
The film celebrates F1’s rich history, traveling, in one seamless camera move, through the drama of the pit lane from the 1950s to the present day. Key chapters of F1’s story are played out one era at a time with original and repro cars, props, helmets, costume used along with look-alikes and clever make-up to bring the film to life. Former World Champions Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg joined the cast along with Senna’s seven million pound McLaren that he won the 1988 F1
World Championship in.
The constant speed the camera moved at and the differing frame rates, meant pre-production involved some hefty camera mathematics. Added to this the set had to be built to exactly the right size for the entire move to be completed in 40 seconds. 118 feet of track ran the length of the stage at Leavesden studio with the camera facing a huge set build undertaken by Production Designer Chris Oddy.
