Designing and directing the film}} This film was conceived in collaboration between Isabel Toutaud, General Delegate of the Afnic Foundation, and Benoît Labourdette.
  • The commission consisted of a graphic film with voice-over.
  • The starting point was the writing and recording of the voice-over by Isabel Toutaud.
  • Joint work on the vocal intentions, recording in the Afnic offices using a mobile studio sound recording system.
  • Then the choice was made of a square image format, to remain in the aesthetics of what had been conceived for the first series of films to promote projects supported by the Afnic Foundation in 2019.
  • And finally, the choice to use simple pictograms to illustrate the successive themes addressed by the voice over.

The challenge was above all the clarity of the speech, and the realization, within a limited budget, of an aesthetic object that was held.

All the films in « Commissioning films and video content strategies »

We produce commissioned films and their possible projection devices, tailoring the service to the exact requirements. We invent the working methods, often collective, that will enable the project to meet its objectives in the best possible way, in terms of content, budget, and artistic and technical requirements.

A film must meet its objectives, and be part of a well-thought-out video content strategy; so we work with you to establish a precise link between objectives, resources and strategy. In some cases, a “classic” corporate film will be the most appropriate content, while in others, it may be more effective to train people to make short videos on their own, for broadcast on their networks, for example.

We provide technical and artistic skills, as well as strategic consultancy, training and mediation on a small, medium or large scale.
