R3BAR — A Story Built From the Shoot
One shoot. A second story, told independently.
My Role
Shot all on-site footage for the original assignment, workout breakdowns, training mechanics, and athlete testimonials, later delivered by the agency for R3BAR's own channels. Independently, and outside that original assignment, built a personal spec project using footage from the same shoot: an event recap and a hybrid testimonial/highlight piece following one of R3BAR's top athletes.
The Assignment
- R3BAR Alpha Pro is a training tool used by elite athletic programs, including NBA teams and top collegiate trainers. Hale Cornejo was brought on through Hoop Brothers to shoot educational and product content: workout breakdowns, training mechanics, and athlete testimonials showcasing how the product performs in real training environments. That footage was edited and delivered by the agency for R3BAR's own use, so it is not shown on this project page.
The Result
- Educational and product content covering training mechanics, workouts, and athlete testimonials (agency-assigned work, not shown here).
- A spec event recap and athlete testimonial/highlight piece, created independently as a personal portfolio project, featured on this page.
