What a local production partner provides
A film crew in Paris, booked for your shoot
A complete local unit, booked and run by us. For Rocket League: a field producer, a DP, two camera operators, a first AC, a DIT, two sound mixers, a gaffer and a production coordinator. For Salesforce at INSEAD: a six-person crew and a portable studio with three camera angles, lighting, hair and makeup, teleprompters and live audio.
A producer between you and the crew
You plan the shoot with us in English, and a producer on set works between your client and the crew. On the Rocket League set in Paris, a bilingual field producer bridged the American client and the French crew.
The set, prepared
We prepare the place you film in, and secure the location if you do not have one. For Rocket League we turned Epic's offices into four sets across two floors, with branded table dressing and team-colored lighting.
The camera live, wherever you are
If you or your client cannot travel, a connected film kit streams the camera's picture to you. You talk to the crew and approve takes as the shoot happens. Salesforce oversaw its interviews at INSEAD this way, in real time from the United States.
Multi-camera and live
For events and live shows, multi-camera filming and live streaming. Dyson's 45-minute live shopping launch on Darty.com ran with the camera crew in France, and Dyson, its marketing agency (which directed) and the producer in the UK.
Footage at wrap, or the edit
We hand over the footage when the shoot ends. For Rocket League that was 4K masters and synced ProRes proxies, so the edit could start in the US right away. Or we take the film through post-production: editing, motion design, music licensing.
How a job runs, from brief to delivery

You send the brief

We plan it and book the crew
We plan the shoot with you in English, book a local crew sized to the brief and prepare the set. For Rocket League we managed the job from the US and assembled and prepped a 10-person crew in Paris.
- 03
The shoot
A producer on set runs the day with the crew, whether you are there with us, following live or leaving it to us. Rocket League was a single 10-hour day: gameplay, round tables and individual interviews with 12 pro players on four sets, with a 15-minute changeover between the morning and afternoon groups.
- 04
Wrap and delivery
The footage is handed over at wrap, ready for your edit. Or we take it through post-production and deliver the film.

Not in the usual sense. A fixer arranges permits, locations and logistics for a crew that travels in with its own production. We provide the production on the ground: we book and run a local crew and put a producer on set, and the shoot runs from your brief whether or not you are there. If a fixer is all you need, tell us the job and we will tell you whether we are the right company for it.
What you are filming, where in France, the dates and the number of shoot days, whether you will be on set, follow live, or leave it with us, and what you need back: the footage at wrap, or an edit.
At wrap, or as a finished edit. For Rocket League we handed over 4K masters and synced ProRes proxies when the shoot ended, so the edit could start in the US right away. We can also take the film through post-production: editing, motion design, music licensing.
