ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR PICTURE
First Frame composes original music for documentaries, series, commercials and brand films. Under the musical direction of Axel Covo, often writing as a duo with Charles Sicouri, we have scored Roland-Garros, entre les lignes for France Télévisions, Lens, de sang et d'or for La chaîne L'Équipe, De Cœur et d'Or for Canal+, the film Le 30 for Dior, and the esports series Level Up.

MUSIC THAT TELLS THE STORY
For us, music is neither a layer nor a background. It is writing in its own right, in dialogue with the image, carrying the story. Every score starts from a simple question: what should the music let us hear that the image does not show? A mind at work for a chess champion, a club that is first and foremost a people for RC Lens, the dust of the construction site and the legend of the house for Dior. Our tracks have names because each one carries someone, or a precise moment of the film.

SCORES BUILT FOR SERIES
We know how to write long and hold an identity over time: fifty-one tracks and over an hour and a half of music for the four episodes of Lens, de sang et d'or, forty tracks for Dior, forty-one for Level Up. For commercials, we also know how to say what matters in thirty seconds.

FROM COMPOSITION TO MIX
Composition, arrangement, recording in our studio, sound design, mixing and delivery synced to picture, episode by episode. We also act as music executive producers for other production companies, such as Quad Lab and Elide: overseeing composers, recording sessions and deliveries. And because we are producers too, we understand the constraints of an edit, a schedule and a budget.

RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION
First Frame is one of the first twelve French production companies to receive the Ecoprod Pioneer label.
