FileChat
The teaser. Then its producer’s story.
The producer’s demo.
02 / 02
The teaser’s producer takes over and shows how he used FileChat to make the film we have just watched. The demo follows his production workflow through the app, from sharing the script and casting photos to discussing the candidates and choosing the lead cat.

THE PROJECT
One story, two perspectives.
The two films were conceived as one continuous story. After meeting FileChat through the cat in the teaser, we hear from the producer who made it. The production itself becomes the product demonstration.
I co-directed the project with Robin Kobrynski at Pôle Nord Studio, working on the concept, storyboards, editing, motion graphics and compositing for the teaser. Olivier Blaecke animated the product demo, with English scripts by Steven Marten.
