How do we engage a mobile audience and explain the balance of strength and technique athletes use to win gold at the Olympics? Inspired by Snapchat and mobile viewing habits, but with the elegance of a highly crafted narrative, The Fine Line creates a new kind of viewing experience that shows the physics and technique behind the performances of the world’s best athletes.
How exactly is Simone Biles able to clear twice her height in a tumbling pass? Why does swimmer Ryan Lochte turn differently than other swimmers? Using data gathered through motion-capture technology, interviews with athletes and their coaches, and by annotating slow-motion and underwater footage, The Fine Line allows those techniques to become clear and engaging to viewers.
