Reopening of Canoe Slalom Training Center 

After the lockdown by COVID 19

The Canoe Slalom team returned to training in Rio de Janeiro, following all the required safety and health protocols, were able to enjoy the reopening of the Deodoro Radical Park, maintained by the City of Rio de Janeiro. 

As in the video of the reopening of the Time Brasil Training Center, in this one about the reopening of the slalom track, my objective was to convey a message of hope, in addition to the reopening itself.

I did some new experiments in this video. In addition to the turnaround in the soundtrack, sound effects and other implementations that I had been doing in my videos.

In this video, for the first time, I used the cinema bars to eliminate some negative space in the scenes, I applied grain, to simulate a film grain, further increasing the post apocalyptic atmosphere I wanted to create, with something that sent a sense of nostalgia.

I also experimented with some flyer effects, simulating an anamorphic cinema lens. Few realize this use that I tried to keep without exaggeration, but I believe it brought a certain charm and accentuated the psychological effect that I wanted to bring.

Sound effects were also essential to add important sensations. I highlight the sound of a powerful waterfall that I used to bring more emotion to the force of the water on the track, which I varied the height according to the proximity of the scene.
