Apart from responding to emergency calls, the profession of a firefighter can sometimes be routine (they perform the same rigorous tasks every day). The idea behind this film is to present the function of fire cadet instructors as a new investment which allows firefighters to thrive by sharing their knowledge and experiences. This also allows them to contribute to the training of their future teammates.
For this project, I started by presenting different communication concepts to the clients. Once the concept was chosen, I took care of pre-production, production and post-production. During the shooting, I was assisted by Margaux Bedat who took care of the making-of, shooting and management of the actors. The communication of this real-life advertising campaign was centred around 2 mediums: the web and the print. It was important for the FNSPF to reach as many firefighters as possible by deploying this campaign within their national federal network.

How to shoot inside an active fire station?
Early in the project, there was a big problem, we needed a fire station for the shoot but it was impossible to disturb an active fire station. The solution we found was to use a retired fire station and bring it back to life by adding all the props, uniforms and trucks!
