At the London E-Prix, I joined the Volunteer Social Team, producing short-form video content for the official Volunteers TikTok and Instagram channels across the race weekend. The brief was to tell the story of the people behind the event, capturing what it actually felt like to be part of the team running one of motorsport's biggest weekends rather than simply covering the racing itself.
Throughout the weekend, I planned, filmed and edited content on the ground, working quickly to get posts out in real time while keeping quality consistent across different formats. The content leaned into the atmosphere and camaraderie among volunteers, using current formats to make each video feel native to the platform it was going out on rather than like something produced and dropped in from outside.
One of the more unusual parts of the role was the access it came with. Ahead of the racing, I was part of a pre-event venue walk, filming content across the ExCeL site while it was still being built, which gave us early behind-the-scenes material that most attendees never get to see. I also had trackside access to photograph the Formula E cars from various points around the circuit, which gave me the chance to work with motion and light in a genuinely fast and unpredictable environment.
The weekend pushed me to work at a pace without sacrificing the storytelling side of what I was there to do. That balance between speed and substance is something I took a lot from.
