We wanted to make our project a bit challenging, so we decided to shoot everything within an hour. We aimed for a short reel and around 8 photos. This approach helped us test our efficiency without pushing our athlete, Piotr, too hard.

Piotr, who isn’t a pro runner, needed breaks to give his best during filming. We filmed at a public running track, so we had to be patient, waiting for other runners and making sure we didn’t film them accidentally. It was all about being practical and respectful of the environment we were in.
