Our work on the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games marked the end of five years of hard work and an incredible creative and human adventure, working almost daily with the teams of the Paris 2024 Organizing Committee. Our collaboration with Thomas Jolly and his team was a crowning achievement. We crafted an exciting 14-minute video of the 30-meter dance floor where 60 dancers performed. The challenge? Imagine and perfectly synchronize the animations with the choreography of the Mazel Freten company, all while having just one rehearsal under real conditions, only five days before the ceremony. We had the exciting task of producing the film about the History of the Olympic Games, which aired in different, dynamic segments to accompany the famous rider's journey on the Seine. We also created and produced the visual design for all the information during the sequences with the female statues. On top of this, we handled all the TV design assets, including the sequence titles and the dazzling, animated stars on the Eiffel Tower.
