HEC Paris Begins Countdown To MBAT 2011 Sports Tournament

Sporting event of the year for Europe's MBA students set for 12th to 15th May

HEC Paris' stylish video shows last year’s participants frozen in the middle of competing in MBAT sports

Just came across this exceptionally cool video promoting HEC Paris' 2010's MBA Tournament (MBAT). Would love to know who made this movie and how!

The MBAT is Europe's biggest gathering of MBA students and is the highlight of the MBA experience for dozens who attend, whether as ultra-competitive elite athletes or just out for some team spirit and some laughs.

This year's MBAT will take place from 12 to 15 May and will host visitors from Cambridge, Oxford, LBS, MBS, Cranfield, IE Business School and many more - as well as HEC Paris, who are hosting the event as usual.

If last year is anything to go by, you can expect 2,000 competitors taking part in over 20 sporting events. Check back for plenty more BusinessBecause updates as the hour draws closer!

Until then, take a look at their Facebook photos page for last year’s highlights!

Looks like they have some pretty non-traditional sports on offer...

Very cool Video Indeed, although again it must have been very costly to produce and I would question the decision to invest that much money to shoot a video for an Inter-School Sports Competition.

Sian, I think you will find your answer here http://www.petapixel.com/2010/10/02/52-canon-5d-mark-ii-cameras-used-for-matrix-style-surfing-shots/

Actually, in that video, we "freeze" for few min (yes, all of us)

only one camera for the whole video. took us several hours for multiple attempts

Glad you liked it! The video took us 3 hours to shoot, it involved staying frozen for 5 minutes at a time as the camera panned around.

@ Clark Kent: nothing as sophisticated as that, and as you rightly say it was for an Inter-School Sports Competition therefore the budget was extremely small.

The MBAT itself was a huge success, even more so with HEC winning it for the first time in the 20 years the tournament has been running!
