Tell the jury about achievements of the production, including reference to its specific ambitions and challenges.

Six months of work with engineers, technicians and musicians, 190 music notes produced, 1,890m of track... That’s what was needed to produce the key element of the performance: a life size replica of the musician’s original score. But the finest composition in the world would be nothing without the interpretation of a precision instrument: the new Peugeot 508. With a system of laser sensors that react to variations in colour and shape, and an on-board connection in a MIDI unit, each time the vehicle passes over a note, it triggers the associated sound in the original score. By seeking out the notes one after the other, the new Peugeot 508 re-interprets the piece by RIOPY live. The end result is a unique ephemeral piece, enhanced by a live orchestra who are sat at the side of the race track.

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Director John S Park & the creative agency created the World's largest musical score for the latest campaign of the new Peugeot 508. The film is about an artistic performance in collaboration with the French pianist & composer Riopy known for his work on Oscar-winning Hollywood films such as 'The Danish Girl' and 'The Shape of Water' to compose the first piano piece written to be interpreted by a car.

With a system of laser sensors that react to variations in colour and shape, each time the Peugeot 508 passes over a note, it triggers the associated sound in the original score and re-interprets the piece by Riopy live. Called The Score, the campaign is also a visual performance shot in a breathtaking décor: a military base hidden away in the Croatian mountains.
