Ay tranquillo! Take it easy! You're in Sicily with the Salomon team, making a training video in the shadow of Aetna. In the morning you're on the track, cameras rolling as you demonstrate drills.

Afternoon finds you plying smooth roads through a rocky landscape, frequently leaping on the roll to grab a succulent blood orange leaning tantalizingly within grasp. Or you're exploring vestiges of Greek amphitheatres or Roman colliseums or perhaps snaking your way through narrow alleyways in ancient Siracusa.

Don't forget that once all the shooting's done you still have to put it all together and then spend days and hours and countless more translating the script into English and then record your voiceover so that it fits exactly over the original French version. Was it worth all the trouble? Heck yeah!
