Vinon-Buno-Vinon, 1149 kms by glider. How did Gilles Navas win the Buno Trophy? The champion's technical explanations and tactical choices. Improvised footage shot in a hurry using accessories found on the spot. An SLR, an iPhone, a Gopro, a stepladder and a construction site projector. The term ‘filming on the hoof’ takes on its full meaning here. It's true that it would have been a shame not to immortalise this special moment and listen with interest to the story of this exceptional flight in France. Get the rushes, put them in a computer, shake it all up in a video editing table and you're done!
The result was improbable, with some shots missing because they had failed. But in the end, thanks to the kindness of Gilles Navas and Alain Mazalerat, who agreed to make a second speech, purists and the curious will appreciate the details of this feat, and will be able to watch something decent.
