Virtual race against the fastest man on earth

Ironbridge Sports, Science, Life festival on Saturday 23rd July 2011 were treated to lots of great sporting activities including archery, fencing, cricket, climbing wall, and various tests of agility.

We decided to put our green screen expertise to the test and created a virtual “Beat the Bolt” race where people could challenge the fastest man on earth in a virtual race over 100 metres. Usain Bolt’s current record is 9.58 seconds so people’s legs had to be quick to catch him.

The equipment was set up in the covered bays area near Enqinuity and we also marked out Usain’s huge 2.44 metre stride length and the distance he can cover in just 1 second (4.28 steps x 2.44m = 10.44m). For those who wanted to know, Usain is 6ft 5in tall (1.96m), hence the rather large stride length.

Thanks to all of those who challenged the Bolt!
