Nearly every year since 2008, I've documented the Shrove Tuesday pancake race at Worcester Cathedral through photos or videos. In this event, two teams of choristers run a relay around the cloisters, flipping pancakes and navigating obstacles. The video above was praised by ITV Central news presenters, giving special mention to the filmmaker!
I attempt to follow the action with a handheld gimbal, but I also set up several static cameras around the cloisters to capture different angles. Additionally, I attach a GoPro to the frying pan itself, which always results in fantastic footage!
The idea of using a GoPro first came to me in 2017 when I strapped it to the Cathedral Dean to film the final lap. This video went viral, reaching nearly a million views online and airing on news channels worldwide. I haven't quite achieved that level of virality since! Watch the now infamous video below.
