A videographer for projects
in Annecy and around the lake

Filming in Annecy requires careful preparation: changing light on the lake, restricted access in the old town, fast-moving mountain weather, sensitive drone zones and high visitor numbers in season. I work on corporate, event, outdoor and tourism projects for companies, agencies, institutions and sporting brands in the Annecy area.

Nearby areas covered

  • Annecy, Annecy-le-Vieux, Cran-Gevrier, Seynod and Epagny.
  • Around the lake: Veyrier-du-Lac, Talloires, Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Sevrier.
  • The Aravis, Semnoz, Aix-les-Bains, Chambéry and Greater Geneva depending on the project.

Projects suited to the area

Corporate films for local companies and agencies, employer-branding videos, executive interviews, sporting aftermovies and tourism or outdoor content around the lake and nearby resorts.

Drone, access & logistics

Aerial filming around the lake is assessed case by case: Annecy-Meythet airport, built-up areas, nature reserves, terrain and weather all matter. I check the constraints, plan any required permissions and always provide a ground-camera alternative when flying is not appropriate.

Frequently asked questions

Preparation & logistics

5 questions
Can we meet in Annecy before confirming the project?Of course. A direct conversation is important when planning a film...

Of course. A direct conversation is important when planning a film. We can arrange a video call, meet in central Annecy or discuss the project at your premises.

Should we scout the location before filming?For complex shoots such as factories or major mountain events, scouting helps plan light and logistics...

For complex shoots such as factories or major mountain events, scouting helps plan light and logistics. For a straightforward office interview, I arrive early on the filming day to identify the best setup.

What happens if the weather is poor on an outdoor filming day?The weather around Annecy can change quickly...

The weather around Annecy can change quickly. If light or rain would compromise the film, particularly for drone flights, we reschedule the filming date without an additional rescheduling fee.

Do you work alone or with a crew?I mainly work independently as a director and camera operator...

I mainly work independently as a director and camera operator, which keeps the production responsive and the budget controlled. For larger projects, I bring in trusted local specialists such as a sound recordist, second drone pilot or lighting technician.

How do booking and payment work?Once the quote is approved, a 30% deposit is required...

Once the quote is approved, a 30% deposit secures the date in my calendar. The balance is invoiced when the final video is delivered.

Expertise & technique

4 questions
How do you record interview sound in workshops or open-plan offices?Sound matters as much as the image...

Sound matters as much as the image. I use professional lavalier and shotgun microphones to isolate voices in noisy settings such as factories, outdoor events or busy offices.

What are the rules for flying a drone over Lake Annecy?Drone rules around the lake are strict because of the airport, nature reserves and built-up areas...

Drone rules around the lake are strict because of Annecy-Meythet airport, the Bout du Lac nature reserve and built-up areas. As a pilot registered with the French DGAC, I assess these constraints and handle the required permissions.

Do you have the equipment to film sporting events in the mountains?Yes. Outdoor shoots in the Aravis or on the Semnoz require fitness and suitable equipment...

Yes. Outdoor shoots involving trail running, cycling or sailing around the Aravis or Semnoz require fitness and lightweight, stabilised, weather-resistant equipment. This is one of my main areas of experience.

Do you film in 4K?Yes. All ground-camera and drone footage is recorded in 4K...

Yes. All ground-camera and drone footage is recorded in 4K using flat Log profiles. This allows precise colour grading in post-production and provides footage suitable for long-term use.

Editing & delivery

4 questions
What is the delivery time for a corporate film?The first cut is generally delivered 2 to 3 weeks after filming...

The first cut is generally delivered 2 to 3 weeks after filming. The schedule may vary depending on editing complexity and any urgent requirements.

Can you provide short versions for social media?Yes. They are essential for current communication...

Yes. From the main film, I can create shorter vertical 9:16 or square 1:1 edits for LinkedIn and Instagram.

How many revision rounds are included after the first cut?My quotes include two feedback rounds...

My quotes include two feedback rounds covering adjustments to cuts, music or text so the film matches the agreed brief. Further changes are billed separately.

Do you keep our footage after final delivery?I retain the final edit and raw footage on secure drives for one year...

I retain the final edit and raw footage on secure drives for one year. After that period, you should keep your own backup of all delivered files.

Budget & services

4 questions
How much does a corporate film usually cost?Every project is different, but a professional corporate production generally starts at around €900...

Every project is different, but a professional corporate production generally starts at around €900, including half a day of filming and one day of editing. I provide a clear, detailed quote after our first discussion.

Do you provide white-label production for communications agencies in Annecy?Yes. I regularly support digital and event agencies in the region...

Yes. I regularly support digital and event agencies in the region. On location, I integrate with your team and represent your agency discreetly in front of the end client.

Can we receive the raw footage after editing?Raw footage is not normally included by default...

Raw footage is not normally included by default because colour grading and editing are part of my visual work. If you or your agency have an in-house editing team, raw-footage delivery can be included in the quote.

Can you provide a professional voice-over?Yes. A professional voice-over can strengthen a corporate film...

Yes. A professional voice-over can strengthen a corporate film. I work with professional voice artists and can arrange recording in French or English for international audiences.

Production guarantees

A clear framework before, during and after filming

Every project is prepared within a professional framework: location constraints, safety, usage rights, delivery formats and the schedule are clarified before production begins.

As a professional drone pilot, I check flight zones, local restrictions, weather, required authorisations and ground-based alternatives when flying is not appropriate.

Each shoot is planned with safety in mind: location checks, access, permissions, suitable equipment and professional insurance for work with companies, agencies and venues.

Brief, recce, shot list, filming, editing, colour grading, graphics and exports: each step is structured to remove uncertainty and keep the project moving smoothly.

Delivery formats, editing timelines, included feedback rounds, social media versions and usage rights are set out in the quote, so the intended use of the video is clear from the start.
