Happy Sauze
The launch of Sauze d’Oulx Happy Video
Shot over five days in late April 2014 in the Italian alpine resort of Sauze d’Oulx as part of Pharrell Williams partnership with the United Nations International Day of Happiness 2014.
The video production involved over 100 people co-ordinated by co-producer, Jill Couzens, along with hotels, passes, venues and much more. My main tasks were directing, cinematography, editing and other post-production.
The weather changed pretty much every day during the shoot – from summer-like sunshine to heavy snow (by way of rain, of course!) creating its own problems that had to be overcome.
Of course, the main focus of the video is the people and they were unfailingly brilliant, helpful and ever-ready to make the video what it is.
Now we’ll be looking forward to International Day of Happiness 2015!

Happy Sauze Video

There’s been an outbreak of alpine happiness in the Italian ski resort of Sauze d’Oulx as we’ve been shooting the resort’s Happy video to help promote it in social media along with, of course, supporting the UN International Day of Happiness.
The video production team has included producer, Jill Couzens, who has been an absolute star in arranging, co-ordinating and managing which makes my job, dealing with the creative along with the technicalities in shooting the video, much easier.
Every kind of weather made an appearance – from bitterly cold blizzard conditions to bright sunshine by way of a little rain at lower levels. Being the winter season’s end was very useful in ensuring the “real” people working in the resort were available to take part – and take part they did with enthusiasm, energy and ideas.
More details soon – in the meantime here are a few screen shots to give a sample of La Vita Felice.
