What this project is about.
Dawn to Dusk is a 12-hour adventure race with no fixed route, run on September 19, 2026 across Angel Island, Sausalito, and the Marin Headlands. Teams move across that terrain for the full day; there is no course to stand beside and wait on. The highlight film had to make a scattered, all-day, multi-location race legible — and feel like the day felt — in just over three minutes.
How the work was made.
Coverage that bends instead of breaks. With no fixed route, the crew positioned by live tracker rather than by a course map, on a stretched three-person crew: Leo on video, Sean Ayres on photography, Patrick on logistics and support. The edit was music-driven and turned around in three days; the film's music track was generated on a paid Suno plan, closing the clearance item — the film is fully cleared for portfolio and social use (contract, Gold Rush tag, Sean's permission, paid music plan, per Leo's Oct 23, 2026 confirmation).
The making of it.
- Role
- Director / Cinematographer / Editor / Media Lead — Leomar Moring
- Event
- Dawn to Dusk, September 19, 2026 — a single 12-hour race day
- Locations
- Angel Island, Sausalito, Marin Headlands
- Crew of three
- Leomar Moring (video), Sean Ayres (photography), Patrick (logistics and support)
- Deliverables
- Leo shot the video and edited the highlight film (3:16, 4K), and edited the photos (photography by Sean Ayres) — the finished highlight film + the edited photo set/gallery.
On location.
Leo's own retrospective on this shoot, in the record, recommends scaling the crew next year — three people across a 12-hour, no-fixed-route race is a stretch, and the film exists because tracker-based positioning put the camera where teams actually were instead of where a route sheet said they might be. That honesty is part of the page: it is what a race director reading this page needs to know about how the coverage was actually run.
The films.
