Coverage of a Guinness World Records longest mahjong marathon attempt (June 28–30, 2026): flagship PR event, high-energy celebration and crowd photography.
The brief was to record a Guinness World Records attempt in full and submit video documentation for certification.
With a Guinness submission, the approach is all logistics: the footage has to be ironclad, with contingencies and fail-safes built in so nothing falls through. That meant multi-day continuous recording, backup recording, power solutions, and Wi-Fi solutions to run everything alongside a live stream. Sarah and the internal team covered stills, and we partnered with a rental house to build out gear specific to long-form live streaming.
A few real wrinkles: batteries needing changes mid-shoot, and hitting some recording limits along the way. When you're running cameras continuously for 48 hours straight, there's no way to know every variable going in.
The result was about as close to perfect as video proof gets: 48 hours of continuous recording with only 60 frames of offset by the end. Certification can take months to come back, so we're still waiting on official word, but the footage held up exactly as it needed to.
“Truly Exceptional: Boda Studios Went Above & Beyond
I cannot recommend Boda Studios highly enough!
We hired Boda Studios to document our 48-hour Mah Jongg Marathon World Record attempt, and what we asked of them was anything but ordinary.
This wasn’t simply filming an event. The marathon had to be documented in accordance with strict Guinness World Records video evidence requirements, with continuous coverage captured across multiple cameras for the entire 48 hours.
And their job didn’t end when the cameras stopped.
Boda Studios then had the enormous task of taking 48 hours of footage from multiple cameras, organizing and editing it into the required continuous documentation, and converting and compressing the finished footage into 1 GB files suitable for our Guinness submission, all while preserving the integrity and continuity of the evidence.
The amount of footage, technical detail, file management, editing, and patience involved was extraordinary. They worked through every requirement and challenge with professionalism, flexibility, and incredible attention to detail.
Just as importantly, they captured the heart of Mahj48. Beyond the technical documentation, they preserved the emotion, exhaustion, laughter, friendships, determination, and unforgettable moments that made those 48 hours so special.
During an event where we had countless details to manage, knowing we could completely trust Boda Studios with one of the most critical components of our Guinness submission was invaluable.
They didn’t just document our world record attempt. They helped us create the evidence necessary to prove it while giving us a beautiful visual record of an experience we will never forget.
If you need a video for an important, complex, or once-in-a-lifetime event, Boda Studios is exceptional. Their professionalism, technical expertise, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond exceeded every expectation.
I would hire them again without hesitation.”
