Cisco

Paris 2024 — Invisible & Connection

16 videos and extensive high-end VFX assets turning raw performance data into immersive visual storytelling.

00 · Overview

As part of the partnership between Cisco and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, TURBODIESEL had the privilege of producing a series of 16 videos that spotlight the exceptional performances of four Olympic athletes. The goal was to make the invisible visible: to reveal the imperceptible details that define their athletic excellence.

These details — such as heart rate, respiratory consistency, maximal aerobic speed, watt output, rotation speed, and reaction time — were brought to life through data visualization powered by Cisco's advanced technologies.

This project was a bold demonstration of our expertise and showcased our ability to deliver large-scale, high-stakes productions that meet both creative and technical challenges.

Our expertise in high-end VFX was instrumental in pushing creative boundaries, transforming raw data into a visually compelling narrative that is as technical as it is captivating. This project also underscored our ability to manage large-scale productions under tight deadlines, while handling significant production volumes with precision and efficiency.

Through this collaboration, TURBODIESEL has established itself as a key player in creating content that blends technological innovation, powerful storytelling, and bold artistic direction. This project is a testament to our ability to support our clients in delivering their most ambitious and visionary projects.

A massive undertaking in Production & Innovation

With 16 videos and an extensive array of high-end assets, the Cisco x Paris 2024 project was nothing short of colossal. Beyond the storytelling, it required an unprecedented level of production coordination, managing vast amounts of data, visual effects, and motion design elements to bring every microsecond of performance to life.

Our teams navigated a highly demanding workflow, delivering dozens of tailored data-driven animations, motion graphics, and intricate VFX sequences, all within a tight production timeline. The challenge was not only to visualize performance metrics but to turn raw numbers into an artistic, immersive experience.

Pushing R&D & Data-driven storytelling

Beyond execution, this project served as a deep R&D ground for our studio. We explored new ways to translate physiological metrics into living visual languages — color systems, particle behaviors, and motion grammars that intuitively read as performance data while remaining cinematic.

Behind the scenes

Social-first cuts

From the master film, we crafted vertical 9:16 cuts tailored for each platform — five athlete-focused micro-stories engineered to retain attention from the first frame.
