Floor Assignments:


  • Sam: Pull-up rig
  • RJ: Running and overhead press circuit
  • Lou: Rower area
  • Colin: Roaming video and athlete interviews across the athlete rest area, vendor areas, and workout areas.
  • Joel: Full venue coverage


Athlete Rotation:

  • Groups of athletes will rotate through your space to complete workout routines. Once finished, they’ll get a break and then move to the next workout area.


Sample Routine: 12 minute Timecap

  • 0:00-4:00: Partner tandem row for max cals
  • 4:00-5:00: Rest
  • 5:00-12:00: Clean + Hang Clean + Shoulder to overhead press *Max lift established by both athletes
  • Routines will change throughout the day depending on the skill division of the athlete group


Photo Coverage:

  • Focus on novice and intermediate athletes, event branding, and the athlete experience—including action, candids, teamwork, and crowd atmosphere.
  • Capture at least 2 photos per athlete while they are on your floor space. (Example, 1 candid + one action shot)
  • Avoid showing favoritism toward any athletes. Get a solid shot then move on.
  • Keep your head on a swivel. CrossFit routines move fast and you can easily become in the way of the athletes.


Technical Requirements: Photography team

  • Shoot in JPEG format.
  • Single shot, no burst
  • Lock in white balance
  • Nail exposure in camera
  • There is a black and white picture profile that can be used sparingly when artistically appropriate


Workflow & Delivery:

  • SD/CF cards will be downloaded throughout the day in media room.
  • Images will be submitted to Alex, the event host who will be uploading them to his own gallery


Shooting Discipline:

  • Don’t overshoot — be intentional with your captures.
  • Don't be afraid to get the camera above or below your eyeline, low-angle shots work especially well in CrossFit.
  • Get lots of candids to go with the action shots.
  • Take time to self-cull images in-camera.
  • Aim for 1,000 quality photos from your assigned floor space by end of day

Content Goals

  • Target: 5+ social reels by end of day
  • One 1.5-minute recap, due end of day November 15.
  • Delivery: Prioritize same-day edits. Supply all unedited footage on their hard drive.


REEL #1: EVENT HOST WELCOME — ASSIGNED TO: COLIN / Joel

  • The event host introduces Bros x Does and welcomes everyone to the venue. Colin coordinates and films; the introduction is delivered by the event host.
  • Cut into high-quality clips of the venue, athletes warming up, and the competition getting underway.
  • Include crowd reactions and event branding. Add captions to the host’s introduction.
  • Prioritize this reel for same-day posting with the client’s social team.


REEL #2: AROUND THE EVENT — VENDORS & ATMOSPHERE — ASSIGNED TO: COLIN

  • Vendor area: booths, products, demonstrations, and interactions with attendees.
  • Mix vendor clips with wide venue shots and a few workout highlights.

REEL #3: ATHLETE STORY — THE ROAD TO COMPETING — ASSIGNED TO: COLIN / JOEL

  • Athlete interviews:
  • “What made you decide to compete, and what did it take to get here today?”
  • “What was the hardest part of preparing?”
  • “What can you do now that you couldn’t when you started?”
  • “What would make today a success, regardless of your placing?”
  • Record 1–2 minutes with each willing athlete or team. Build a focused 30–45 second story using the strongest answers, captions, and footage of that athlete warming up and competing.


REEL #4: ATHLETE INTERVIEW — INSIDE THE WORKOUT — ASSIGNED TO: COLIN / JOEL

  • Once athletes have caught their breath, Colin asks:

  • “What did you do to get through it?”
  • “Where did you have to change your plan?”
  • “Was there a moment your teammate made the difference?”
  • Listen and ask for specifics. If they say their partner kept them going, ask: “What did they say or do?” Use the strongest answers over matching workout footage in a captioned 30–45 second reel.


REEL #5: ACTION SHOTS FROM THE DAY — FOOTAGE: PRIMARILY JOEL

  • Create a 10–30 second music-driven action reel celebrating teamwork across the competition.
