/ Fox Sports, British F1 grand Prix - Live Over the past five years we have covered a number of Formula 1 races for Fox Sports, the World’s largest English speaking TV network which broadcasts across South East Asia. We filmed their pre-race coverage which is made up of driver interviews and reporter led features. This Grand Prix was different as much of the content was broadcast live from Silverstone.
Ben Treston, Head of Creative “I wore a back pack which contained eight mobile phone sim cards, these combined to produced a phone line with enough capacity to broadcast an HD signal live. It was high pressure for myself and the reporter, but a massive success and a pioneering new method.”
