ABOUT

Mauvaise Pioche is a satire of the media and the world of television.

The VFX work began on set with the supervision of the fictional “WeNews” channel studio, favouring live playback of content on the screens from the control room wherever possible.

Post-production then covered the on-air graphics for several fictional channels, the integration of numerous screens, various cleanups and invisible fixes, as well as a more graphic, cartoon-inspired sequence.

The work was designed to blend naturally into the image while reinforcing the film’s satirical identity.

ON-SET SUPERVISION & INVISIBLE VFX

VFX supervision of the set of the fictional channel “WeNews”, with particular attention to the content displayed on the screens.

Live playback from the control room was favoured wherever possible during filming, to preserve the interactive light and reflections on the set.

Screen inserts and replacements were then integrated in post-production to ensure visual continuity across shots.

BROADCAST GRAPHICS & SCREEN INTEGRATION

Design of the on-air graphics for several fictional channels, preparation of the content played on set and screen integration in post-production. Each channel needed an instantly recognisable identity while remaining credible in the world of news channels.
