Filming a horse in the dead of night, through the cobbled streets of Geneva... A crazy gamble or a dream brief?
The Concours Hippique International de Genève entrusted us with its anniversary film.
The goal? To make the city pulse to the rhythm of a century of history and emotion.
To bring this project to life, our teams got to work from pre-production onwards to organise a shoot where every detail mattered:
▫️ A tailor-made script rooted in Geneva’s heritage.
▫️ High-precision filmmaking, with drone footage around St. Pierre Cathedral and, fortunately, the weather on our side.
▫️ A production setup designed to keep the horse calm and to showcase the work of her rider, Antonella Joannou De Rham.
We woke up from this dream several months ago. Today, at last, we’re lifting the veil on this extraordinary project, where darkness meets light, technique meets poetry, and human meets animal.
Come on, saddle up!

J’ai traduit « Directeur : Vincent Jaggi » par « Managing Director », en supposant qu’il s’agit du directeur de l’agence a2p. Si c’est le réalisateur, mets plutôt « Director ».
« Colour » est en orthographe britannique. Dans un texte pour un public américain, écris « Color grading ».
