The film

Veolia employees perform one song through solos, duets and group passages. Five screens place the performance alongside images of family life, industrial work and environmental responsibility. The sequence begins with individual voices and gradually opens into the full team.

01 / The challenge

Unify performances filmed separately on green screen.

The performers were recorded in different combinations and camera setups. Scale, lens perspective, floor contact and lighting had to remain consistent so each cut felt part of one stage, not a series of isolated composites.

02 / The stage concept

Build a stage with depth, not a flat digital background.

Five screens form a physical structure around the performers. Blue light recedes behind the panels, the dark floor anchors each figure, and the screen content changes with the song while preserving one visual environment.

03 / Integration

Make every performer belong to the same light.

Keying was only the first pass. Edges, skin tone, white fabric, shadows and reflected colour were treated shot by shot, using the blue environment and screen spill to connect foreground and stage.

04 / Performance rhythm

Let the frame expand with the music.

The edit begins with individual performers, then opens into duets, smaller groups and the full ensemble. Camera distance and screen imagery grow with the arrangement until the last wide shot brings the full team into one frame.

The outcome

The completed 2:24 film moves from close solo moments to a performance by the full team without losing continuity. The stage, screen content and compositing stay restrained so the people and the song remain the focus.

Each shot moved through keying, matte cleanup, placement, camera matching, light integration and final colour. The screens were treated as light sources rather than pasted images, allowing their colour and contrast to affect the performers and floor.
