English-speaking videographer in Paris & France
Shooting in France and need someone on the ground? I’m a videographer and director based in Paris. I speak English, I bring my own gear, and I shoot all over the country.
A local crew, in your language
Flying a crew to France is expensive, and a shoot runs more smoothly with someone who knows how things work here. You brief me in English; I handle the day on location.
- 01
One contact, in English
Calls, emails, shot lists and feedback: everything happens in English, from the first brief to final delivery.
- 02
Gear already in France
Five full-frame cameras, lenses, lighting, wireless audio and a drone. Nothing to ship, nothing to clear through customs. See the full gear list.
- 03
A crew sized to the job
I work solo for light shoots, or with camera operators, sound and lighting crew from my network when the project calls for it.
- 04
Shoot only, or the full production
I can shoot to your brief and send you the footage, or take the film all the way: writing, shooting, editing, color grading and graphics.
What I shoot
How it works from abroad
Most of the preparation happens remotely. Paris is six to nine hours ahead of the United States, so your evening brief is on my desk the next morning.
- 01
Brief
You tell me what you need by email or on a call: the film, the dates, the locations and the deliverables.
- 02
Quote & preparation
I send a quote, then we lock the shot list, the schedule and the crew. Invoicing goes through my agency, Smardia, a French company.
- 03
Shoot
I run the shoot on location in France. If you can’t be there, you can follow by call and validate key shots.
- 04
Delivery
Footage is delivered by cloud transfer, or as a finished film: MP4 or MOV, Full HD by default, 4K or ProRes on request.
