Inside a Fast-Moving, High-Profile Production at the Paris Olympics

The Shoot 

A global documentary series captured the drama and intensity of an Olympic sports team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Following teams from the United States, France, Serbia, and Canada, and with international partners and high-profile stakeholders involved, smooth coordination and watertight safety protocols were essential. 

Safety Challenges 

The production team needed to: 

Manage both international and local crews, operating across multiple Olympic venues under tight schedules. 

Maintain live coordination between the on-ground crew, HQ, and a 24/7 operations support team. 

Ensure safety and security in a dynamic, high-profile environment, with public exposure and movement between venues. 

Provide fast, mobile access to documents and updates for crew working on the move. 

How SetConnect Helped 

Keeping international crews connected and protected 

Daily digital check-ins supported crew wellbeing and ensured visibility across multiple units. 

Geo-fencing defined safe zones around key venues, reducing location-based risk. 

Real-time messaging enabled instant alerts and responses in the event of disruption, changes, or emergencies. 

Enabling agile, on-the-ground operations

Live updates to the schedule and safety documentation kept everyone working from the same information with no gaps and no delays. 

Empowering crews to respond in real time
