On Location

On-set production crews across France

Here is how this works in practice. From the rooftops of Montmartre to the industrial docklands of Marseille and the glass towers of La Défense, our production teams operate across each corner of France. We supply skilled DPs, camera ops, and full tech departments for commercials, documentaries, drama series, and branded content — assembling a crew that is sized specifically to the project rather than a fixed template. So your shoot stays lean and efficient without sacrificing craft or tech quality at any point in the shooting day.

Crews sized to the project, not a template — lean enough to move fast through Paris, technical enough for high-end work.

Here is the short of it. Our Camera & Cinematography roster covers everything from handheld narrative work to high-end Steadicam & Gimbal rigs for tricky tracking shots in tight Parisian streets or open Provençal landscapes. For aerial sequences over the Camargue wetlands or Normandy coastlines, our licensed Drone Videography operators deliver broadcast-compliant footage with full airspace planning. Lighting & Grip departments travel with the kit. LED and HMI packages scaled to match location power realities, whether you are shooting in a village in the Loire Valley or a purpose-built studio outside Lyon.

FAQs

Production FAQs

Common questions about our production services, crew availability, and equipment support.

What crew sizes can you provide for productions in France?

Here is how this works in practice. The production team handles projects which range from two-person documentary production to 150-person feature unit operations. The typical range for commercial work shoots has 15 to 30 staff who consist of a DP and camera team and gaffer with two electrics and key grip with a swing and sound mixer and boom op and extra staff from art department and HMU. We've crewed up Netflix series with full French units and handled single-day corporate interviews with just a shooter and audio. The network scales to fit.

How quickly can you mobilize a crew in France?

Paris-based crew can often mobilize within 24–48 hours for urgent jobs—we've pulled together same-day news crews when stories break. Regional shoots need more runway. Figure 5–7 days minimum for locations outside major cities. The real constraint is mostly gear availability from rental houses, not crew. If you're planning ahead, 2–3 weeks gives us time to assemble the right team rather than just the ready one.

Do your crews speak English?

The department heads who have DPs and gaffers and sound mixers and 1st ADs possess English fluency and have worked on shoots outside their home country. That's a baseline need for our network. Grips, electrics, and PAs differ, but we always make sure someone on each team can translate. For fully French-speaking shoots, we have native crews across each department.

Can you provide equipment along with crew?

We work with TSF, Panavision Paris, RVZ, and other French rental houses daily. The majority of gear packages have crew members who stay with their assigned positions because the gaffer operates from their preferred lighting location. The DP selects the camera gear. Our firm takes care of customs procedures and carnet records for global shoots which choose to bring their own gear. The delivery of gear brings tested and prepared gear to the site. We start our work.'t send gear to set without a checkout.

How do French crew rates compare to other countries?

French rates run higher than Eastern Europe but below UK and US levels. Social charges represent the main factor because French labor costs need employers to make substantial payments which do not exist in the United States.'t show up in the day rate. We quote all-in costs so there are no surprises. For longer shoots, the CNC tax credit can offset 30% of qualifying French spend. This often makes France competitive with cheaper areas.
