The Project

Courvoisier partnered with artist Yinka Ilori to dream up limited-edition VSOP bottles. His inspiration was a warm summer day in Jarnac, France, Courvoisier’s home. We created a campaign that shares the story behind Yinka's inspiration and this creative partnership.

The Treatment

Yinka's bottle designs draw inspiration from every aspect of Jarnac, from the flowers to the bees, from the river to the skies. In our film, we follow him as he connects with the natural world. We help create a sense of joy by mixing high-fidelity footage, super8 film, and animation using his vibrant illustrations.

Product-focused shorts crafted for social

We created a :15 cutdown for social and digital placements

As well as partnership-centric shorts

To help imagine the film and key visuals, we explored storyboarding and sketching each bit of the story.
