Leroy Merlin: Life’s Adventure

French home improvement retailer Leroy Merlin unveiled a spectacular commercial created by the advertising agency BETC Shopper. Directed by Reynald Gresset, the film shows a house sailing on water. The background music is ‘Sailing’, originally sung by Rod Stewart.

“The production of this commercial was epic as the production company La Pac had to shoot the scenes three times: first on dry land, another time on a moving set and then finally on water. This grandiose shoot, that took place during seven days in South Africa, was completed using divers, drones, and helicopters to capture beautiful images, amazing landscapes, and raw emotions.”
