1 Sailing

[two_third] Jordi Esgleas Marroi’s understanding of sailing and offshore racing coupled with his ability to harness the power of sailing’s awe-inspiring imagery and craft compelling stories has granted him a prominent place among the sport’s video production specialists.

Over the last five years, Jordi has filmed, edited and directed a series of videos of different lengths and styles for Grand Prix sailing events and teams such as the Barcelona World Race, the Audi MedCup, Iberdrola Sailing Team and Oman Sail. He has also directed promos for adidas Sailing. During this period, he has collaborated in a variety of projects with one of the leading sailing production companies, Sunset+Vine |APP.

Jordi’s involvement with the Barcelona World Race extends beyond the circuits and he had an important role in establishing the event’s museum, the Barcelona World Race Interpretive Center, where he was in charge of curating the videos on display in the permanent exhibition.

Please see below a list of sailing projects where Jordi worked recently.

Audi MedCup 2011 – End of Season Promo

This video was edited as the 2011’s season wrap-up, condensing the best images of the five events in an exciting piece to be shown during the event’s final party in Barcelona and as a promo during the pre-season at PR events and sponsorship presentations.

The brief asked for passion, emotion and authenticity. It also asked for the video to reflect how close the competition was, the obstacles the teams faced and the fun aspects of the circuit, including the involvement of the fans in public activities.

Jordi painstakingly sifted through hours of footage to find the sequences that fitted the brief without resorting to clichés. The result was a stunning video that captured the essence of a remarkable sailing season. Commissioned by Sunset + Vine APP for the Audi MedCup Circuit / 2011.

All the footage was provided by Sunset + Vine APP.

adidas Sailing – Training Day in Valencia

This was the first video shot for adidas’ new sailing line, adidas Sailing. As the brand prepared its launch, it sought the collaboration of one of its longstanding ambassadors, Jochen Shümann and his TP 52 team at the time, The Franco-German Audi ALL4ONE.

It was commissioned as a short documentary about a regular training session and shot in Valencia, one day before the start of the final round of the 52 SuperSeries in September 2012.

The weather conditions weren’t the best and the wind never really picked up but the video does capture the great atmosphere on board and ashore and the smart editing helped tell the story. The video was delivered on schedule and on budget, just in time for its début in Amsterdam at METS 2012.

Further to this short documentary, adidas Sailing also commissioned a 30” promo for the launch of the SS2013 collection, which you can watch  here.

Oman Sail – Musandam Oman Sail

The aim of this video was to introduce new Arab sponsors to the boat and team, Musandam Oman Sail, which were to take part in the 2012’s MOD 70 Circuit. It was edited under the direction of Penny Ydgren and commissioned by Sunset + Vine|APP for Oman Sail.

All the footage was provided by Sunset + Vine APP.

Barcelona World Race

Jordi Esgleas Marroi has a longstanding connection with the Barcelona Foundation for Ocean Sailing (FNOB), organiser of the Barcelona World Race, where he started as a cameraman during its first edition in 2007. In 2010 he gained a more prominent role in the communications team and directed a series of videos throughout the three-month event, working closely with the international TV news production team from Sunset + Vine|APP.

After the end of the last event he stayed on as senior audiovisual designer and editor leading a team that edited around 250 short videos for the Barcelona World Race Interpretation Centre and its current Ocean Sailing Exhibition that tells the story of the two crew, non-stop, around the world race, its participants and the importance of preserving the ecosystem of the five oceans where it takes place.
