Behind the scenes Quattro 1 - Candide Thovex

This behind the scenes footage from the first Candide Thovex / Audi commercial was shot in the French Alps in the fall of 2016 and has never been uploaded to YouTube before. Quattro 1 was Candide’s first full video outside of the snow, paving the way for the later Ski the World project.

Behind the scenes usually shows the tricks used to show how the shots are made, leave it to Candide to still have the behind the scenes still feel like absolute wizardy.

La légende est de retour juste avant l'hiver! Ca fait plaisir de voir le dessous des coulisses. French King is back!

A legend do not need snow, it just helps to have it.

Quand on y pense, ce lien entre promouvoir la voiture et l'absence de neige en hiver, c'était quand même sacrément bien anticipé...
