Following Pete on the Water

We shadowed Pete across Tampa Bay in a single day, from the run out of the marina to the first cast on the flats. Drone, gimbal, and handheld 4K, shot to live inside a brand film for Columbia PFG.

Every setup kept him in his element on the water, never staging a moment, only capturing it. The footage feels lived-in and cuts cleanly into a spot, a sizzle, or a social edit.

Light and lean kept us with Pete as the bite turned on, never missing the unscripted moments that make athlete content feel real. Everything came back broadcast-grade and organized for the edit, so the brand could move straight from the field to the cut.

On Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is the whole story here. The flats, the bridges, and the birds working the water set the scene, and we shot it as a character rather than a backdrop.

We filmed with the patience the water rewards, ready on the run and steady when the rod loaded up, so every frame would earn its place in the final cut.

Our crew worked the way a day on the bay demands, reading the conditions and staying out of the moment. That rhythm is what lets a real day on the water carry a brand film.

Athlete brand video production for Columbia PFG

C&I Studios delivered athlete brand video production for Columbia PFG, the Performance Fishing Gear line from Columbia Sportswear, featuring MLB All-Star Pete Alonso on the water in Tampa, Florida. Our crew ran Tampa Bay for a focused, single-day shoot, capturing 4K interview, drone, and b-roll of Pete fishing the flats. The footage was built to support brand spots, social cutdowns, and the larger Columbia PFG story.

Athlete brand video production is a discipline of preparation and timing. The talent sets the pace, the conditions set the schedule, and the crew has to be ready when the moment happens. For this engagement we worked the way the water demanded: mobile, patient, and precise, staying with Pete across the bay while drone, gimbal, and handheld coverage followed without staging the day.

What the Columbia PFG shoot looked like on Tampa Bay

A brand shoot on the water lives or dies on coverage. Over a single ten-hour day our team captured the run out of the marina, drone passes over the flats, Pete casting and fighting fish, the guide working the boat, and the wildlife and water that define Tampa Bay. We shot in 4K so every frame would hold up in a finished spot, a broadcast cut, or a social edit, and so the editorial team would have the latitude to find the story in the grade and the assembly. Our video production team handled camera, drone, movement, and on-the-ground logistics, while off-site data management and priority shipping made sure the footage reached the client safely.

Partnering with an MLB All-Star and a national brand

Pete Alonso is a Major League Baseball All-Star and Home Run Derby champion, known to fans as the Polar Bear, and a brand ambassador for Columbia PFG. Producing athlete content with talent of that profile means matching the standard on the day, anticipating the shot, protecting the moment, and delivering footage a brand team can actually cut. C&I Studios approaches athlete brand video production as a collaboration, supplying the production muscle so the brand and the athlete can stay focused on the day. According to his public record, Pete’s career spans All-Star selections and a rookie home run record, and this Tampa shoot puts that profile to work for Columbia PFG.
