Project Summary

The Bernina Gran Turismo is an annual sportscar event in the stunning alpine mountainscape of Switzerland. Founded by a group of classic car enthusiasts to celebrate the races held in the St. Moritz area in the 1920s and 30s, the GT features a hillclimb race along the Bernina pass, from La Rösa to the Bernina Hospiz. We documented the event by rigging the race cars with ultramodern 360 cameras, flying racing drones alongside race cars as they drove and capturing the breathtaking landscape with VR aerials. The project culminated in three media applications: a linear film and a 360 film, found on Youtube and Vimeo; as well as a historical VR experience that places the viewer in a classic car next to the founder of the Bernina GT. It is used for marketing purposes by Bernina GT and Spherie UG.
