Commissioned in collaboration with It's Nice That, director Ryan Hopkinson explores the shapes and textures created by the body in motion, particularly the visual effect of bone, muscle and sweat. Highlighting a variety of tones and textures and moving away from the perfect, sweatless pictures seen in adverts. Focussing instead on the weather-beaten skin of people who run all the time.

This shows the reality of people who run but aren’t perfect young athletes, the runners were scouted at competitions rather than talent agencies--including Bob the oldest contributor who is in his early 70s (he’s run 104 marathons in his life.)
 
Track: 'Excavation Part 2' from The Haxan Cloak’s ‘Excavation’ album
