Description
France Women's National Football Team like you’ve never seen it before. Ahead of the world's most important international competition in women football, Orange (French telecom brand) wanted to highlight its commitment as a partner of all types of football for more than 24 years, and of the French Football Federation since 2018.
Orange is taking a stand in favor of women's football ahead of the Bleues’ international competition, with the aim of overturning one of the prejudices that all too often surround the players. Many football 'fans', without ever having watched women's football, have strong opinions about the level of the players. But football fans' appetite for highlights compilations of great actions is an opportunity for Orange to reverse the trend...
How? Through a never-before-seen compilation of actions from the men's 'Equipe de France', which quickly reveals itself to be a compilation of technical moves from the women's Equipe de France: 'La Compil' des Bleues' ('The Bleues' Highlights'). Using VFX tricks, the appearance of the female players is altered in the 1st part of the compilation, to support a strong message: when Orange supports les Bleus, Orange supports les Bleues.
A technical feat that required weeks of in-depth research into the French Football Federation's archives, to find the women's technical moves, then search for their exact replicas among the male players' moves, and then trick the women's images using VFX.
This professional campaign titled 'The Bleues' Highlights' was published in France in July, 2023.
