Videographer in Annecy · Lake & Haute-Savoie

Films made for Annecy, the lake and outdoor activities

In Annecy, around the lake and in the Aravis, I make films for companies, tourism organisations, outdoor brands and sporting events. I plan filming around access, weather, travel and the pace of the action, showing both the places and the people who bring them to life.

  • Companies, tourism offices, outdoor brands and event organisers.
  • Destination films, sports documentaries, interviews and event recaps.
  • Images captured close to the action, with versions for your chosen channels.

A videographer for projects
in Annecy and around the lake

À Annecy, la lumière sur le lac, les accès en vieille ville, la météo en montagne et les restrictions de vol au drone demandent une préparation précise. J'en tiens compte pour les tournages corporate, événementiels, outdoor et mariage dans tout le bassin annécien.

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 I film in the area

Corporate films for local businesses and agencies, employer-branding videos, executive interviews, sports highlights, tourism and outdoor content, and high-end wedding films around the lake and nearby resorts. For villas, chalets, hotels and new developments, see my real estate photo and video production.

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?Oui, à Annecy ou directement dans vos locaux...

Oui. Nous pouvons organiser une visioconférence ou nous retrouver à Annecy, dans le centre-ville ou directement dans vos locaux, pour préciser le projet.

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...

If weather compromises the planned shots or safety, we agree on an alternative setup or a new date. Availability, any costs and rescheduling terms are set out in the quote and confirmed in writing.

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?A 50% deposit applies by default, subject to the quotation’s terms and statutory exceptions...

Unless the quotation provides special terms or a statutory exception applies, a 50% deposit is due on ordering. After the agreed revisions, the final files are delivered and the balance invoice is issued. The balance is payable by bank transfer within thirty calendar days, unless another deadline is agreed in the quotation within statutory limits.

Expertise & technique

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

J'utilise des micros-cravates et des micros canons pour isoler au mieux les voix dans les usines, les bureaux animés et les événements en extérieur.

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

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?Oui, en format vertical ou carré...

Oui. À partir du film principal, je peux livrer des capsules plus courtes au format vertical (9:16) ou carré (1:1) pour LinkedIn et Instagram.

How many revision rounds are included after the first cut?Deux séries de retours sont incluses dans le devis...

Deux séries de retours sont incluses dans le devis pour ajuster les coupes, la musique et les textes. Les modifications supplémentaires sont chiffrées avant d'être réalisées.

Do you keep our footage after final delivery?File retention is not a guaranteed backup service...

If raw footage is not included in the quote, delivery must be requested in writing within fifteen calendar days of final delivery, or the end of filming for filming-only services. It may be deleted after that period; any residual archive is kept for no more than six months, unless a separate agreement or legal requirement applies.

Un film corporate avec une demi-journée de tournage et une journée de montage démarre généralement autour de 900 €. Le devis final dépend de la préparation, du matériel et des livrables.

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 excluded from deliverables unless agreed in the quote...

Raw footage is excluded from deliverables unless included in the quote or a separate agreement. If not included, delivery must be requested in writing within fifteen calendar days of final delivery, or the end of filming for filming-only services.

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.
