(EN) As part of a 3 day shoot in Paris last Summer, we scouted an unusual location for a shoot: a beautiful 19th century house with a garden patio in the middle, and a giant palm tree in the center. It felt like Morocco or Spain, when we were actually next to Montmartre! For the purpose of the shoot, we also sourced a Tuk-Tuk to film a character cycling in the Louvre area, and obtained permits to film the Seine from the iconic Pont des Arts bridge and surroundings.

(FR) Dans le cadre d’un tournage de 3 jours à Paris l'été dernier , nous avons filmé dans un endroit insolite: une superbe maison du 19ème siècle avec un patio au milieu, et un majestueux palmier au centre. On se serait cru au Maroc ou en Espagne, alors qu’on était juste à côté de Montmartre! Pour ce tournage, nous avons également booké un Tuk-Tuk pour filmer un personnage à vélo dans le quartier du Louvre, et obtenu les permis pour filmer la Seine depuis l’iconique Pont des Arts et ses environs.

(EN) Happy New Year everyone! As 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and the subsequent liberation of Europe, we share with you one of our favourite projects in 2023.
As part of a shoot for Delta Air Lines, we followed WW2 Veterans for a week last June, as they attended commemorations in their honour. Witnessing the hommage to survivors of the Greatest Generation was a moving experience, as well as an amazing opportunity to explore the beautiful coast of Normandy.

(EN) Very happy to be working once again with The Washington Post, with the amazing Anthony Faiola. Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, we went to Nice and Paris to explore the future of AI-powered surveillance in France, and what that means for the Games. For this report we spoke to activists, a lawyer, a historian and the Mayor of Nice himself. The era of Orwellian surveillance may already be here, article on the link below for a full picture of the situation.

(FR) Très heureux de travailler à nouveau pour The Washington Post, aux côtés de l'incroyable Anthony Faiola. A l'approche des JO 2024, nous nous sommes rendus à Nice et à Paris pour étudier le futur de la vidéo-surveillance algorithmique en France. Pour les besoins de cet article, nous avons interviewé un militant des droits de l'homme, un avocat, une historienne et le Maire de Nice en personne. L'ère de la surveillance orwellienne est déjà là, lien vers l'article ci-dessous.

France, the 2024 Olympic Games host, is testing algorithmic surveillance that can detect sudden crowd movements, abandoned objects and someone on the ground.

As part of our coverage of the French Presidential election for The Economist, we travelled to the Burgundy town of Auxerre, a bell weather of past elections. During 3 days we interviewed everyone in town, from a local politician to a chicken farmer and a bookshop owner. We followed political supporters from different parties at different times of day and night. No one could seem to agree on the current state of France but everyone shared the view that this was one peculiar election, one marked by voting apathy and uncertainty towards the future.

The French are miserable. Normally this means defeat for sitting presidents, but Macron is still just about leading in the polls. So what's going on?00:00 - ...

Earlier this month we produced two shoots for The Economist, as part of their coverage of the 2022 Presidential election. Our team travelled to the North of France and to the Burgundy town of Auxerre for the occasion.

For this specific report we conducted 4 interviews in Lille and its region, asking voters about their expectations and hopes for the upcoming election. The videos are 2 minutes long each, the article 10 min read in total.

Emmanuel Macron promised unity. Remaining divisions will complicate the next five years
