Ronde

Forty-seven seconds to explain an app that runs the tontine by itself: from the scribbled Sunday notebook to a circle of members where everyone pays on time. With a French voice-over and French subtitles.

The idea

Everyone knows the tontine, and its little dramas: the scribbled notebook, the late payments, the sums done over and over. The video starts from this familiar scene, then sorts it out. The members take their places in a circle, the circle turns, and each feature of the app becomes a simple move you can follow with ease, even with the sound off.

What we did

  • A ten-sentence script, written to be understood the first time you hear it.
  • A French voice-over, and French subtitles that follow the voice word for word: the video makes sense even on mute.
  • The app’s identity: the name, the ring of eight dots, the payment and reminder screens.
  • Portraits of the eight members, the Sunday meeting and the notebook with its handwritten notes.
  • The pot filling up, 3D coins flying off to Awa, and an animated logo where the members become the ring.
  • Original music, timed to end right on the logo.
