Event: Red Bull's Art of Motion
After recieving the most innovative invitation ever (post) I was really looking forward to attending the event thinking it would be something hip and innovative as well. The event didn't disappoint!
We arrived at Laila cinema to a red carpet and media coverage. It was going to be a fun night for sure!
Inside I found my blogging friends gathered around, taking pictures, being served little food items and refreshements and of course Red Bull.
On one big wall pictures of the Parkor participants were shown with their names. Three guys from Kuwait made it into the different teams (Abdul Mohsen Al-Roumi, Yousif Al-Attar, and Mohammed Al-Attar). The different participats were chosen from all over the world, put into random teams they've never worked with before, and given 36 hours to produce their own videos which were to be shown and voted on that night in the event.
We waited until all the players had arrived in mini coopers, took pictures, the we were ushered inside the movie theater to watch the movies.
As we waited for everyone to settle in their seats more Red Bull was passed around.
The event started and the presenter who did really well by the way talked to us some more about the players and the movie. then it was time to view the movies
This is the first shot I took, then I put down my camera and lost myself in the movies.
I don't know about you but whenever i see those guys performing anywhere I just tend to sit back and gape in awe at their lithe movements and bravery! Sadly I've been waiting to find the movies they made on youtube or online but couldn't find any but they can be found moment by moment in the Red Bull website here (link).
My favorite movie was 3 made by team Qarooh but it didn't win first place 7asafa. The first place winners of the trophy and 900 Euros for each player was team Warbah.
Congratulations team Warbah! Thank you Red Bull for the invitation and the amazing time we had that day! It inspired us to be more active frankly, we even went for a long walk on our feet straight after the event :p Well done!
