After more than 650 miles on the road, Eddie is on the final day of his epic 27-marathons-in-27-days challenge in support of Sport Relief. From Mthatha (the birthplace of Nelson Mandela) to the finishing line in Pretoria, Cloud9Media documented Eddie’s incredible journey every step of the way. Series Producer Steve Maud worked with Director of Photography Aaron Witchard to deliver daily content for BBC3’s new exclusively online channel on behalf of Lion TV.
Filming, editing and uploading over 100 short films in less than a month required absolute focus, logistical precision, and not a little stamina of our own. Eddie’s run captured the public’s imagination and raised more than £1 million for Sport Relief.

It’s not often we get a chance to go to Rio de Janeiro AND film a Royal.
As part of Sport Relief 2012 and our ongoing relationship with Comic Relief, we went on a whistle-stop tour with Prince Harry (a single man in those days) as he took part in a fun run along Copacabana beach, and visited some of the projects that have benefitted from Sport Relief donations. With the international press eagerly awaiting footage of the day, there was no time to waste pulling together a press kit that appeared on news outlets across the UK that evening.

David Walliams set himself the ambitious challenge of swimming the full length of the River Thames – all 127 miles of it – for Sport Relief in 2012.
The challenge for us was to film him in action (following in boat, on foot and by scooter). Over seven days, editing on the road, we produced daily video packages that were published on social and made available to news outlets to feature on the evening news.
