On September 6, 2023, the Parisian venue La Boule Noire played host to a landmark moment in the rise of French artist Donguti, signed to 6AM RECORD. With over +400 attendees, the event was completely sold out, marking a major milestone in her live performance journey and reflecting the growing resonance of her sound across the French alternative scene.
MISSION BAY Digital Agency was proud to be selected to produce the official aftermovie, with full creative direction and post-production led in-house. Our team approached the project not as a standard concert recap, but as a sensory re-immersion into the experience itself.
A Multiformat Production
To accurately convey the unique ambiance of the evening, we employed a carefully curated combination of video formats:
DSLR cameras for clean, cinematic close-ups and stage coverage
GoPro footage for fluid motion and crowd interaction
VHS & MiniDV camcorders for raw, nostalgic textures
Handheld cam sequences to reflect the immediacy and intimacy of the crowd experience
This approach gave the aftermovie its distinct visual rhythm where every cut, glitch, and frame composition contributes to a vibrant, lived-in atmosphere.
Sound as Narrative
Beyond visuals, our team invested heavily in immersive audio post-production. Live moments were enhanced with layered effects and textured ambiance. Each transition was engineered to maintain the emotional momentum of the show, turning the aftermovie into more than just a visual product—it became a narrative tool reflecting the soul of Donguti’s performance.
The Result
The final edit captures:
A sold-out crowd of 400+ fans
Donguti’s signature tracks including “Break Up Season”, “Amour, les prémices”, and “Hotel Veneza”
Behind-the-scenes moments and crowd perspectives
A blend of elegance, grit, and spontaneity—just like the artist herself
The project exemplifies Mission Bay’s creative ethos: hybrid storytelling, emotional impact, and technical excellence. We are proud to have contributed to this milestone for Donguti and 6AM RECORD, and we remain committed to supporting boundary-pushing artists through bold, immersive content.
