EMG Italy produces the 20th edition of the Telepass Milano Marathon for RCS Sport.

RCS Sport is the organization of sporting and media events that boasts on the Italian market a range of skills and experiences such as to be able to offer a wide range of services in the creation and management of events, especially sporting and international, such as the Telepass Milano Marathon.

They have also the organized the 2022 edition, held on April 3, which coincided with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the great sporting competition.

In the wake of important records established in the previous edition, this important event was finally an opportunity to go back to walking the streets of the city with the typical colorful colors of the marathon participants; a big party for runners in Milan.

EMG Italy was called to carry out the international television coverage and for the broadcasts broadcast in Italy on the SKY pay-TV, which was able to enhance the tricolor marathon course for RCS Sport, creating a day of great sport on television.

Celebrating this important day of sport, the more than 13 thousand participants in the event, between marathon and relay, started from the Bastioni di Porta Venezia, as well as the more than 7 thousand participants in the race dedicated to children and families the day before, Saturday.

Here EMG Italy set up the television service by creating the compound TV with two mobile vehicles for HD filming and a special gazebo that housed a small studio for unilateral filming organized for SKY.

Three cameras were hired in the SKY studio for unilateral personalization with interviews, commentary and “sensations” of the moment.

Filming as host broadcaster made by EMG Italy was made by three operators moving on the motorcycles and by five cameras positioned to film both the start from the Bastioni and the arrival from Viale Maino.

Finally free of traffic, Milan and its streets came alive thanks to the top runners and enthusiasts were able to enjoy an event at its peak, after the long period of isolation from the pandemic.

Both the fixed cameras and the moving cameras on the motorbikes documented the long snake of participants who invaded Corso Venezia and only for the start they intoxicated the public for at least 5 minutes, given the very high number of marathon runners there.

The motorbikes that filmed the highlights of the marathon also documented some of the most significant corners of the city, and were busy for over six hours, following this party until the arrival of all the relay races, including the non-profit organizations and the last delayed , but happy, participant.

The organization of the shooting of EMG Italy for RCS Sport was managed at the directorial level by Max Ceriani, in house TV Director, who underlines:

“The Telepass Milano Marathon, which will be repeated in 2023, also requested a precise roadbook in this edition which we have previously agreed with the cameramen on the circuit. Having also made various directions for similar events in the past, the team is close-knit, knows the problems and we wanted to offer the public images of "color" and curiosity. We were thus able to tell some historical and interesting anecdotes usually not too much in sight of the Lombard capital and, repeating what we had done in the past in the various marathons, we interspersed many less known curiosities.

It is no coincidence that this year too we have provided a series of corollary shots that we recorded the morning before the event to the moving crews, with impressive shots in the points of greatest interest along the way.

In the past, for example, among other curiosities, we had described the English cemetery in the second world one, the San Siro mound created with the rubble of houses destroyed in the Second World War and much more.

This year we have decided to look for some anecdotes and places not too well known along the way, even if we have not neglected to draw suggestive images even a little more "institutional", such as the Arch of Peace, La Scala, the Castello Sforzesco, and described Piazza Gae Aulenti, as well as the Duomo and its statues. "

The three motorcycles equipped with cameramen were engaged on the runner protagonists at the head of the men and at the head of the women, given the two contemporary races, male and female.

The third bike took care of the pursuers and proposed close-up fillers on the colorful and exultant audience.

The OBVan Main Gallery mobile vehicle, parked in Piazza Venezia, took care of the international direction, controlling both the five cameras scattered in the departure-arrival area, and the customization for SKY, managed by a second mobile integration vehicle, also in the area.

Upon arrival, the 5 cameras were placed that shot the start on the sides of the the ramparts of Porta Venezia and the arrival from Viale Maino.

Of these, two cameras were connected by radio frequency and made use of a long lens to return overall images and document the large influx of enthusiasts both among the runners and the public.

Other special shooting supports included a Jimmy Jib and two shoulder-mounted RF cameras that moved with agility during the race, moving from the Ramparts of the start to the finishing line in Viale Maino.

Max Ceriani closes:

“The Telepass Milano Marathon is more difficult to shoot than other competitions or sporting events in motion, such as cycling, where there are sudden escapes and surprise final sprints and therefore more spectacular images.

Here, we were able to restore the pathos of the race, which is really a very important moment for the running movement but also for a very large and international audience, getting closer to the participants and all the events related to running.

We have thus linked this long-awaited event as much as possible to the territory and to historic and touristic Milan, underlining the joy of finally doing sport together and packaging this event of great international spectacle in the best possible way ".
