Filming and animation, handled together
I film, then add the 3D, motion design or compositing myself: no need to coordinate a videographer and an animation studio for a film that blends the two.

Animation, lake and businesses · Annecy
Animation studios, brands, lakeside hotels, seminars and congresses: from Lyon, I film in Annecy and add to the real footage the animation, 3D and visual effects that I make myself.
They trusted me with their image
What matters in Annecy
Every June, the International Animation Film Festival makes Annecy the world meeting point for animated imagery. Outside the festival, its studios, schools and businesses expect videos that go beyond a pretty panorama.
I film, then add the 3D, motion design or compositing myself: no need to coordinate a videographer and an animation studio for a film that blends the two.
Victador · VFX
Lake and mountains are appealing, but they do not tell your story. I first look for what sets you apart, then put the setting at the service of the message, not the other way round.
OLY · vertical
A little under two hours by direct regional train or motorway: I can be in Annecy early in the morning and return in the evening, or stay overnight for the dawn light on the lake.

Case studies
An SR-71 added in 3D, a documentary on two painters, a brand stand filmed during an international trade show: three projects that speak to Annecy’s studios, cultural venues and businesses. Each case study shows the film.

VICTADOR · 3D AND VFX
The project came from Toronto, where Yaxo handled the art direction, and was run entirely in English. The challenge: slipping the SR-71 spy plane behind a Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae and other supercars without the eye doubting. I did the compositing and rotoscoping in Fusion; the aircraft’s shaders were reworked in Blender, Victador logo included, in tandem with Adrien Lafourcade. A mix of real footage and 3D that appeals as much to a studio as to an Annecy brand.

MUSÉE HENRI MARTIN · CAHORS
Commissioned by the Musée Henri Martin, in the Lot: a film about Jeffrey & Sally, an artist duo who paint in the open air. Direction, filming and editing: I did it all. Few words, a lot of attention: the hands, the brushes, the forest light. The museum relies on this film to present its artists. A gallery, an art school or an animation studio in Annecy may ask for the same delicacy to show a creative process.

MARS WRIGLEY · TFWA
During the TFWA, at the Cannes show, I filmed everything happening on the Mars Wrigley stand: activities, spontaneous encounters with visitors, the energy of a very colourful space. Mobile camera, natural light, tight shots and slow motion give the film the brand’s rhythm. The MIFA, during the Festival, or a show at the Impérial congress centre are filmed with the same approach.

Services
Animation studios and schools, sports brands, manufacturers, hotels and seminar venues, cultural institutions: each time, the film starts from a precise intention, not from a landscape.
Presenting a company, a product or a craft: we set the message, I film with a light crew on your site or outdoors, then you receive the film and its short versions, ready for social media and trade shows alike.

Annecy, the practical side
Quays, gardens and old-town alleys: a shoot with equipment must be notified to the City well in advance.
Meythet airport, Bout du Lac and Roc de Chère nature reserves: each flight is checked then declared.
From 21 to 27 June 2026, the Animation Festival and the MIFA fill the city: accommodation and venues go fast.
In July and August, quays and old town are very busy: I film outdoors from daybreak.
Annecy settings
Waterside alleys, landscaped shores, business parks, summits: the setting changes within minutes. Six areas to place your film.
The Thiou, the canals and the colourful façades: the best-known image of Annecy, to be reserved for the first hours, before the visitors arrive.
The big lawn facing the lake, the Bonlieu national theatre and the tree-lined park: a central area for events, outdoor interviews and atmosphere shots.
The Impérial congress centre, the hotels and the Avenue d’Albigny promenade: the natural setting for seminars and conventions, with the lake in the background.
Company headquarters, service companies and technopole: an office environment for interviews, recruitment films or product shoots.
The lakeside villages and their hotels: high-end seminars, brand films, quiet portraits, a few kilometres from the centre.
Viewpoints and resorts reachable in under an hour by road: lake views, sports shoots, seminars at altitude. Weather and access are checked the day before.
Method
Preparation by video call and email, filming on site, editing and animation in Lyon: you approve the key stages, and the animation follows the same schedule as the film.
Message, places, share of animation: a priced proposal arrives, travel included.
City permit if needed, venue booking, script and storyboard of the animated sequences.
Half a day for interviews; one or two days for a brand film, a seminar or a congress.
Editing, colour grading, sound, then 3D and compositing; your comments are left online, version after version.
Seasons
In Annecy, the season changes everything: the crowds, the light, accommodation prices, venue availability. Before fixing a date, it is better to weigh both options.
When the date of a seminar or congress is fixed, I work around the programme and the daylight. A live recording, a programme or a multi-camera set-up requires a larger production team.
Multi-camera or live? See video production (Lyon) →A date to choose?
A short call is enough to compare the options for your project. No obligation.
They trusted me
A serious, creative professional, always attentive and able to adapt to any situation.
“Very professional work from Quentin.”
“Impeccable image quality, a smooth pace.”
“Professional, talented and very committed.”
“Great communication, a pleasure to work with him!”
Your videographer
Based in Lyon, I have been filming and editing since 2018; modelling, animation and compositing are also done by me. For a congress or a longer shoot, an additional camera operator and a sound specialist join me, without changing the person you deal with.
My references closest to your needs: Victador and 98% for visual effects, the Musée Henri Martin for documentary, the Cannes shows and festivals (Mars Wrigley) for events, the DGAEV for institutional work. For Annecy, an on-site scout is planned if the project requires it.
FAQ · Annecy
A question not answered here? A message is enough: I will get back to you quickly.
It depends on writing time, shooting days and editing, but above all on the share of animation or 3D, which takes production time. The trip from Lyon remains reasonable; a night on site is only justified to film the dawn. Each item is detailed in my pricing page.
A shoot with equipment in public space (quays, gardens, old-town streets) requires the approval of the City of Annecy: I handle it beforehand with its departments. In a hotel, a hall or a company, it is the host venue that gives its consent.
Not just anywhere. Annecy Mont-Blanc airport, at Meythet, and the Bout du Lac and Roc de Chère nature reserves create areas where flying is banned or tightly regulated, and flying over the town follows the rules applicable in built-up areas. I check the map, make the declarations and offer a viewpoint from the shore or a vantage point when flying is ruled out.
Yes, it is even my speciality: I film, then model, animate and integrate the 3D or graphic elements myself, as Victador and the short film 98% show. The same director, one schedule, and a consistent image from start to finish.
For a studio, a brand or a school present at the Festival or the MIFA, yes, following the organisers’ rules. In 2026, the Festival takes place from 21 to 27 June and the MIFA from 23 to 26 June: the town is then in high demand, so book early.
By direct regional train, allow a little under two hours between Part-Dieu and Annecy station, with a few direct services a day; by motorway, the journey is of the same order. For a sunrise session, I stay on site the night before.
Yes: plenary, workshops, activity on the water or in the mountains, dinner. I follow the programme without disrupting it: a keepsake film, then clips for your social media. The Impérial congress centre, for example, offers a plenary room for up to 600 people and 19 rooms.
Yes: Annecy-le-Vieux, Seynod, Cran-Gevrier, Épagny Metz-Tessy, Argonay, Sévrier, Veyrier-du-Lac, Talloires, Faverges, and further afield Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Geneva or the Aravis.
Brand film, seminar, interviews or animated content: a videographer-director is enough, reinforced if needed. A programme, live broadcast or multi-camera set-up requires more resources: the page video production (Lyon) presents these set-ups.
Yes: interviews with directors and animators, drawing-tablet gestures, team life. These images serve recruitment, communication around a film or a funding application.
Yes: product launches, ambassador portraits, design behind the scenes, in a studio or outdoors. I also frame in 9:16 for social media, as for OLY, the app conceived with Teddy Riner.
Spring and early autumn combine soft light and a calm lake; summer brings long days but heavy crowds, and winter beautiful moods with short days. The “summer or off-season” section above details these trade-offs.
Each edit version, then each animation pass, is shared online: you leave your remarks at the right moment of the picture. We can also schedule a video call at each stage.
Everywhere you communicate: website, social media, festivals, trade shows, presentations. The chosen music covers all this; television or billboard distribution is priced as an option in the quote.
