For this very first shoot with Robert Pattinson, La Pac filmed in a studio in London, and made the bold choice of a tangible approach, building an actual mirror maze on set. 

Avoiding an "all-3D" look was essential: the secret lay in the seamless, invisible transition between the real-world set and the technical precision of the watch in CGI.

“Shooting with mirrors is always a challenge as you basically see the entire studio in the reflections. At some point during our shoot, it became a bit of a game to find ridiculous places to hide people, lights and gear... only to realise in post that there was always one mirror that was giving away something or someone.” said director Quentin Deronzier.

"Our ambition for this film was clear: honour the codes of haute horlogerie while bringing in a strong rhythm, fresh energy and real dynamism to the sequence of movements. We pushed hard on the editing and worked hand in hand with our VFX teams to design bespoke animations and textures, never losing sight of that essential elegance." adds Esha Woottum, Executive Producer

Shooting a watch on a set made of mirrors means accepting that the camera sees everything: the crew, the lights, the track, the video village. Precision becomes the heart of every shot. A master of light, Deronzier delivers a film of perfect geometry to the celebrated watchmaker.
