FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Write to me, I reply quickly.

  • Every project is quoted individually. As a guide, a half-day shoot starts at €650 and a full day at €1,200, excluding VAT.

    The budget calculator (in French) gives you a first estimate in a few clicks.

  • An idea or a script. If you don’t have a script, we can write it together. If you do, I turn it into a shot list that serves as the roadmap for the shoot.

    The script is also the basis for budgeting your production.

  • Allow 1 to 2 weeks to receive a first cut of a standard edit.

    Turnaround varies with the time of year and the complexity of the project.

  • Both. I rely on a network of freelancers, companies and agencies, which lets me scale the crew to each project.

    Crew size depends on the complexity of the production and on your budget.

  • I’m based in Paris and I travel all over France and abroad.

  • As .mp4 or .mov, encoded in H.264 or H.265, in 1080p by default. Depending on your needs, I can also deliver in 4K or Apple ProRes.

  • I can design your motion graphics as director and creative director, but I no longer produce them myself.

  • Storage is a real cost in video production. We can agree on a yearly fee, based on the size of your project, for me to keep your files.

  • A 30% deposit is due when the quote is approved, and the remaining 70% on delivery.

  • Yes. If your agency needs to subcontract a shoot, an edit or a full production, I regularly work with other agencies, discreetly.

  • Yes. If you want to bring part of your production in-house, I can train your team to shoot and edit.

  • They are tailored to how you use the film (website, social media, internal communication, advertising) and set out in the quote.
