Quatre Deux Deux — production studio · Paris / Tallinn

How an idea is born.

Seven checkpoints, from the fog to the crater. It’s the path we walk with every brand, on every film.

The trail is based on our climb of the Piton de la Fournaise, made by Cyril and Adrien.

Checkpoint 01 / 07The hunch

Pas de Bellecombe

Every idea is born in the fog.

At the start there’s a hunch, a wish, a question that keeps nagging at you. You can’t see the summit yet. So you start walking.

Checkpoint 02 / 07The brief

The rampart

To climb, first you go down.

This is the brief: we go deep into your subject. We listen, we ask, we untangle what you really want to say, and to whom.

Checkpoint 03 / 07The route

Enclos Fouqué

Constraints give it shape.

Budget, deadline, format: we map the route together, the techniques, the days, the budget. You approve the map before we set off.

Checkpoint 04 / 07The stance

The fissures

You have to take the leap.

There comes a moment when the thread seems to break. We cross the void: the idea becomes a stance, written and storyboarded, the one people will remember you for.

Checkpoint 05 / 07The shoot

Chapelle de Rosemont

The idea takes shape.

Switchback after switchback: scouting, then the shoot. The people filming your idea are the people you talk to, with no one in between, from first step to last.

Checkpoint 06 / 07The finishing touches

Bory crater

Just a few steps left.

Editing, grading, sound: the last steps, the details that make the difference. We reach the top, but we don’t stop before them.

Checkpoint 07 / 07The delivery

Dolomieu crater

The mist lifts.

The idea is born, delivered ready to be seen, with rights assignment available for up to 5 years. And from up here, it can be seen from afar.

7,200 billboards for Adopt. 14 days for MIE 2027. Some twenty films for Eurécla. A first TV spot for Optic 2000, at the Paris Games.
