Avant-première, Grand Rex
01 · The atmosphere
Building a film’s world inside the foyer of the Grand Rex, for the premiere of “Despicable Me 4”. The set is ephemeral by nature: it must exist for a few hours, hold up in front of the photographers, then vanish without leaving a mark in a venue that never stops running.
02 · Material & light
The work starts with faithful 3D modelling: the Minions skyline and the fitted-out entrance, taken up and reworked through exchanges with the production teams. Three successive stints, from May to July 2024, until the model said exactly what the film tells.
03 · Uses
The structures are designed to be both handsome and demountable, a premiere set goes up and comes down within the tight schedules of event work. It is a close collaboration between the interior architect and the production teams: each holds one end of the same image.
