The project
A New Year video unlike any other
Santiane wanted to avoid the traditional Happy New Year video and stand out.
The filmA fake making-of: an eccentric director shows up, insists on a giant chicken, blows the budget and runs chaotic rehearsals, before a big final party to wish everyone a happy new year.
Art direction
Situational comedy, shot like a music video
Gold party set, balloons, disco ball and colored lights: the image borrows from music videos and commercials, in the service of a deliberately absurd script.
The pace relies on the actors’ performances, shifts in tone and burned-in subtitles so it works without sound.
Making of
From writing to edit
Written, shot and edited from start to finish by Diego Leance. A script built like a making-of, with strong characters and a simple payoff: wishing a happy new year.
The shootSeveral sets, from offices to the party stage, with lighting designed for each mood.
The editA fast-paced, subtitled edit, made to be shared.
A New Year film told like a comedy: you watch it to the end.
