Terminer en beauté. A quand les projections ? Bientôt!

Sur le film "Quand le jour se lève" (When Day Breaks) le court métrage d'Espérance Pham Thái Lan, Dominique Lambert, chef monteur son, aidé par Frédéric Combes, bruiteur, ont utilisé les sons enregistrés pendant le tournage par Mathieu Chanon et les ont ensuite considérablement enrichis afin d'habiller l'univers sonore du film. Matthieu Langlet, le mixeur de "Plus belle sera la chute" et Espérance ont pu régler la bande son où les silences, les bruits, les ambiances et les voix sont en totale harmonie avec l'histoire, embellie par la musique composée par Eric Prados.

Par ailleurs, Béatrice Mizrahi, la chef opérateur a su capter avec la caméra ce qu'attendait Espérance.

Avec l'étalonneur Olivier Garcia de HD-Systems, ils ont tous les deux apporté un coup d'éclat remarquable au film : les couleurs sont ravivées, réchauffées, les contrastes ont gagné en netteté, les lumières choisies avec délicatesse respectent les volumes et le résultat final concorde avec bonheur au visuel imaginé par Espérance.

"Quand le jour se lève" termine sa course en beauté.

To finish brilliantly. When are the screenings? Soon!

On the Espérance Pham Thái Lan's short "When Day Breaks" (Quand le jour se lève), Dominique Lambert, chief sound editor, helped by Frédéric Combes, foley artist, used the recorded sounds during the shooting by Mathieu Chanon and then they have considerably enriched them in order to reinforce the sound world of the film. Then Matthieu Langlet, the mixer of "The more beautiful they come" (Plus belle sera la chute) and Espérance could set the sound track of the film where the silences, the sounds, the moods and the voices are in complete harmony with the story, embellished by the music composed by Eric Prados.

Otherwise, Béatrice Mizrahi, the director of photography has captured with the camera that Espérance Pham Thái Lan expected.
With the grader Olivier Garcia from HD-Systems, they both brought remarkable glamour to it: the colors are revived, heated, contrasts gained sharpness, lights delicately chosen meet the volumes and the end result coincides felicitously with the imagined visual by Espérance.

"When Day Breaks" (Quand le jour se lève) finishes brilliantly.

The beautiful team.

To shoot her film "When day breaks" (Quand le jour se lève), Espérance Pham Thái Lan chose not only talented actors but also excellent technicians, as Béatrice Mizrahi director of photography and all in record time.

How have they found embarked on this project?
Five technicians of the team answer to this question.

Erik Jourdil, production manager-

"I met Espérance two years ago and since we exchange on our projects. So when Espérance made me the request to take part in her film, it is with enthusiasm that I accepted. I knew it would be the opportunity of an adventure and a collaboration with a keen team."

Quentin Perrot-minnot

Quentin Perrot-minnot, assistant director-

"I wanted to make this film because it was an opportunity for me to work with professionals who taught me a lot. Thank you for allowing me to join the team of "When day breaks" (Quand le jour se lève). From the preparation to the shooting of the film, I found that everyone has excelled in his job."

Benoît Pin, assistant production manager-

"Last winter, Espérance let me into the secret that she was preparing a new opus. She also told me she wanted to shoot in my house. Was I agree? The question was probably me asked; I even have to answer yes. I remember more clearly the evidence than the answer itself. Some time later, the story began to take shape, names

began to take shape, names began to circulate, some movie figures of choice but also those of my daughters!

When it was time to form the team, there was no great debate to put me in position to be in the studio management which is special necessarily, facilitated by the pleasure of receiving at home."

Silvia Neagu, head make-up artist and hair stylist-

"I loved so much the Espérance's script, so right away counted me in. On the shooting, I was very happy to make up the cast of the film, especially Isabelle Pasco, Henri Garcin and François Marthouret whom I have already seen in movies when I was a child. To mix with the team was an unexpected pleasure as the atmosphre was amazing, very warm, everyone was nice. I feel very lucky to have participated in this project."

Romain Ufarte, stills man (standing on the photo bellow)-

"I met Espérance at the exhibition organized for the preview of her film "Plus belle sera la chute" (The more beautiful they come) to which she had invited me to take part. The principle of this exhibition was to propose related works with the film after watching it few days ago. The photographs I made, reflecting a personal interpretation of "Plus belle sera la chute" (The more beautiful they come), liked to Espérance. I was immediately hooked on the world of this film, simple in appearance but who can look, full of subtleties essential to understanding of the whole.

Thus, when she decided to trust me by offering me to work as a stills man for the shooting of "When day breaks" (Quand le jour se lève), I did not hesitate a second!"

Olivia Ledoux, wardrobe master and wardrobe dresser-

My first contact with Espérance was very good and when I read the screenplay, I accepted right after to belong to her team. It was fortunate, I was available to dates of the shooting that changed me to work on a film with natural sets outside from structures that I'm used to, such as the Opera, the national stages (eg TNP) and private workshops. If Espérance offer me in the future to work with her again, it will be with great pleasure.

Ajouter une légende

Lauren Némausat, trainee - It was for me the first time to be on the shooting of a short. Rather anxious at first, I was surprised by the warm atmosphere and then happy to be part of this enthusiastic team! It was an honor and a pleasure to work with professionals on the script of "When Day Breaks." All good things come to an end, these days have been for me a very enriching experience.

I thank Espérance for having confidence in me and look forward to working with her again on a new project!

Anyway La B.O. is very satisfied to enrich its catalog as fast.

Repérages en Ile-de-France.

Les repérages sont une des étapes nécessaires dans la préparation d'un film afin de trouver tous les décors en adéquation avec les séquences, cela entraîne forcément des rendez-vous à prévoir avec les chefs de poste pour les emmener sur des lieux qu'ils vont s'approprier afin de rendre crédibles les personnages dans leur cadre de vie.

Pour le film "Quand le jour se lève", étant la réalisatrice (Espérance Pham Thai Lan), je me suis retrouvée avec Béatrice Mizrahi chef opérateur image, Michel Tessier chef électricien, Erik Jourdil directeur de production, Francesca Olivieri et Quentin Perrot-Minnot mes deux assistants, Florence Cheron scripte et bien sûr le président de La B.O., à étudier la course du soleil, à parcourir les espaces qui nous intéressent pour tourner, que ce soit à l'extérieur comme à l'intérieur.

Cela nous a même permis de faire des rencontres insolites en île-de-France, où nous nous sommes arrêtés face à des lamas, comme quoi à chaque détour, on peut être surpris.

Reckonings in Ile-de-France.

The reckonings are one of the steps required in the preparation of a film to find any set in appropriateness with the sequences, this inevitably leads to anticipated appointments with department leaders to take them to places they go appropriate to make believable characters in their environment.

For the film "When day breaks" (Quand le jour se lève), being the director (Espérance Pham Thai Lan), I met with Béatrice Mizrahi director of photography, Michel Tessier chief electrician, Erik Jourdil production manager, Francesca Olivieri and Quentin Perrot-Minnot my two assistants, Florence Cheron continuity assistant and of course the chairman of the B.O., to study the sun's path, to go the spaces of interest to shoot, either outside and inside.

This has allowed us to meet interesting people in Île-de-France, where we stopped facing llamas, as what at every twist and turn, we can be surprised.
