BOTANICAL GARDENS<\/h2>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVal Rahmeh, Villa Thuret, Hanbury: a voyage across Planet Earth\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Three gardens. Three identities. One vision.
Giardini Hanbury in Ventimiglia, Val Rahmeh in Menton and Villa Thuret in Antibes share a common purpose: to protect, study, and preserve the botanical heritage of the planet. Yet each possesses a distinct identity \u2014 in scale, in architecture, in scientific vocation, in the species it shelters. From this tension between unity and diversity comes the concept of an integrated film strategy: a single visual communication project, delivered across multiple formats, designed to tell the story of nature through the eyes of those who inhabit it every day.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Botanical gardens cannot exist without the people who tend them. Botanists, researchers, custodians: individuals who dedicate their lives to these places and who, over time, become an inseparable part of them \u2014 forming a quiet symbiosis between human expertise and the vitality of nature.<\/p>

There is a further dimension, invisible to the visitor: the web of relationships each botanical garden maintains with others across the world. Seeds exchanged, knowledge shared about species and their adaptation, a constant scientific dialogue between continents. A global synergy that makes every visit, even the simplest, part of a much larger story.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

I chose an approach built on unusual, evocative imagery \u2014 macro and micro, unexpected angles, a visual dance capable of moving through the many habitats of the three gardens and capturing aspects at once peculiar and universal. A narrative that weaves together the voices of nature’s custodians with the voice of nature itself, always seeking to keep visible the thread that binds them.<\/p>

Not didactic illustration, but storytelling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The project unfolds across three distinct formats, each designed for different contexts and audiences:<\/p>

Documentary<\/strong> \u2014 approx. 6′
A film in which three realities interweave and respond to one another in a continuous flow that conveys the character of each place without ever losing the sense of the whole.<\/p>

Promotional Films<\/strong> \u2014 3 \u00d7 1’30”
One film for each garden: intense, self-contained, immediately recognisable. High-impact communication tools designed to attract visitors and promote each garden across its own channels.<\/p>

Instagram Reels<\/strong> \u2014 approx. 30 for Giardini Hanbury.
A complete visual editorial plan built to generate a consistent and recognisable presence on social media.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
