le plus petit chef
From Idea... to Production
An idea. A script.
The place and the scene that will host it. The light and the
people that will frame it. The words, whispers, the music that
will dress it. Clapboard, recording and then editing. These
are the cinematic acts that must be done to make a film. A
film, short or long, a documentary, an advertising spot that
tells a whole story in a few seconds, a corporate video.
Le plus petit chef does exactly this job. And it's doing it
well. It serves to the audience quality content, fresh
material and at the same time it cooks non-stop the next
projects. The ingredients of its success? Love and knowledge
for art, technology, animation and for every moment that a
scene can make memorable through time.
