FORMULA STUDENT
High Viz Media Group have a long history with Formula Student, having covered the event since 2014. What started out as a 3 person offline shoot-edit team, has progressed to a live event broadcast which deploys our full team each year, encompassing roles such as - truck drivers, riggers, technical directors, offline shoot-edit teams, cameramen, unit managers, networking engineers, VT playback, audio specialists and graphic designers to name a few.
Another exciting factor in this years’ event was the use of our Vislink Herocast GoPro equipment. This enabled us to wirelessly broadcast, for the very first time, a POV perspective of a Formula Student car going around a track from a GoPro. This had everyone incredibly excited, including the event commentators.

We certainly were not short of other cameras this year either. Our line-up included a Tower Camera, two Sony 2500 camera channels, a Sony Z450 RF Camera, Panasonic UE70 & UE100 PTZ camera and the combination of a gimbal operated Sony A7S III and Sony FS7 for the offline shoot edit team – we were well armed!
We also had an edit station based on the second floor of the Race Control tower, with a two person shoot-edit team who would alternate between material gathering & editing. Building out the content and ensuring IMechE had what they needed to engage with the offline and post show audiences.
