The Brief
‘Create a film that explores Snohetta’s vision for the future of the metro in Paris.’
Our Response
The main aim of the film was to visualise the spirit of the site, bring context to how the metro once worked and then layout plans for its future. We developed a story of a man who has dropped his notepad, and a woman is intent on returning it. As the chase ensues, the audience explores different areas of the station and gets a feel for Snohetta’s expansive design.
The film won an Archiboo award in 2019, and the judges praised “the playful narrative and the use of illustrative elements together with realistic CG animation that gives a real sense of the spaces.”
