Riviera experience
Car dealership in Fréjus, thalassotherapy centre at Les Issambres, Mars Wrigley stand at the TFWA: I know the rhythm of shoots on the Riviera, its access constraints and its brand requirements.

I have already filmed in Fréjus: the video for a car dealership (Nissan, MG, Alpine, Volvo), then the film for the Thalasso Les Issambres, right next door. Forty minutes from Cannes, where I film regularly, I work for businesses in the Var, hotels, event organisers and tourism players.

What matters in Fréjus
In Fréjus, summer crowds change everything: beaches, port and town centre fill up from June. I schedule exteriors early in the morning or in the off-season, when the light is lovely and places are calmer, and I prepare permits well in advance.

Mars Wrigley · TFWA
Hotels, restaurants, rental firms and tourist sites live off their social media. As for Teddy Riner’s OLY app, I frame each shot so that it also works in 9:16, with subtitles readable without sound.
OLY · 9:16 format
Fréjus is about four and a half hours’ drive from Lyon, but around forty minutes from Cannes, where I film regularly. For a project on site, I come the day before: scouting, access and the next day’s light are prepared in peace.

Case studies
A library of 240 sessions, the launch of an app in vertical format, a company anniversary over one day: three projects that resemble the requests of hotels, brands and organisers on the Riviera. Each case study shows the result.
ASPTT · MOOVA
The ASPTT was launching MOOVA, its sport and wellness app, with a library of 240 sessions of 20 to 30 min, from yoga to strength training. My role: edit a large part of the sessions, manage the exports and deliverables, around 17 TB of files tracked line by line in a production sheet. A hotel group, a tourist office or a company preparing a content catalogue needs the same rigour.

OLY × TEDDY RINER
For OLY, a sports coach in your pocket conceived with Teddy Riner, launch videos designed for the phone were needed. I produced this content in 9:16: the judoka on camera and exercises shown step by step, in a dark set streaked with green neon. For a hotel, a restaurant or a rental firm on the coast, this is the kind of format that puts a place on the map on Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.

KOEZIO · 20 YEARS
Koezio celebrated its twentieth anniversary with its teams: team building, conferences, then an evening party. The film moves from team challenges to speeches, then to the evening festivities, without losing the thread. A seminar in the Estérel or a company evening on the coast raises the same question: how to keep a narrative when the mood changes three times in a day.

A project in Fréjus?
Three pieces of information are enough for me, what, where and when: a detailed quote reaches you within one business day.
Services
Hotels and wellness venues, dealerships and shops, businesses in the Var, local authorities and event organisers: every film starts from the person who will watch it.
Presenting a company, a venue or a product range, as for the Fréjus car dealership: we build the film’s storyline with you, I film on site, then deliver the film and its variations.
DeliverablesMain film, short versions

DeliverablesSummary, clips, teaser
Learn more →Executive, hotel manager, client, partner: the questions are set together beforehand, the background says something about the trade; on the sound side, a well-placed microphone for clear speech.
DeliverablesEdited interviews, quotes
Learn more →Seasonal teasers, behind the scenes of a venue, presentation of rooms or menus: I prepare consistent series, vertical as well as horizontal, filmed in a few sessions and published all season.
DeliverablesSeries, 9:16, subtitles
Learn more →DGAC-certified drone pilot. By the sea and in town, flying follows strict rules; in Fréjus, the Fréjus-Saint-Raphaël aerodrome, the busy coastline and the Estérel nature areas require extra checks. Each zone is verified before any aerial shot.
DeliverablesAerial views subject to permits
Learn more →Animated diagrams, 3D objects, compositing: everything is made in-house, like the aircraft integrated for Victador. Ideal for showing a product, a property project or a development not yet built.

Length and format are decided according to the target audience and where they will see the video. Here are the pairings that most often suit hotels, businesses and organisers in the Var.
| Goal | Format | Length | Where to publish it | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Present a venue | Corporate film → | 1 to 3 min | Website, Google, social media | The place, the team and the atmosphere, in clear images. |
| Convince a future client | Client testimonial → | 1 to 2 min | Prospecting, LinkedIn | A client explains in their own words what your solution changed. |
| Recruit for the season | Employer brand video → | 90 s + portraits | Careers page, social media | Teams showing their daily life, more telling than a job ad. |
| Bring an event back to life | Aftermovie → | 1 to 3 min | Participants, sponsors, social media | The essence of the event condensed: a thank-you to participants and a taste of what is next. |
| Feed an account | Reels and vertical formats → | 15 to 45 s | Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn | One filming session, several weeks of posts. |
| Present a project | Motion design and 3D → | 1 to 2 min | Website, trade shows, investors | A clear animation for what does not exist yet. |
Fréjus, the practical side
Beaches, port, old town: a shoot with equipment is reported to the City in advance, especially in season. In a venue or on a private site, it is the owner’s permission that counts.
Fréjus-Saint-Raphaël aerodrome, seafront and Estérel nature areas: each flight is checked before being offered.
In July and August, beaches and port are saturated: I schedule exteriors early in the morning or in the off-season.
The arena, the ancient theatre and the cathedral complex are filmed with their managers’ agreement and according to their opening hours.
Fréjus settings
Beaches, marina, Roman remains and the Estérel massif: the settings change within minutes. Six areas to keep in mind.
Alleys, place Formigé, episcopal complex and cloister: a heritage setting for a portrait, an institution or a town-centre shop.
Roman-era amphitheatre and theatre: stone tiers for a show recording or a brand film, subject to the City’s agreement.
Marina with colourful façades, bridges and quays: the port’s postcard view, ideal for a hotel, a restaurant or a boat hire firm, with the drone if the rules allow.
Promenade, long beaches and summer festivities: seaside light for a brand film, an interview facing the sea or an evening.
A natural seaside area with lakes and paths: a setting for a countryside seminar, a sports event or leisure content.
Red rocks of the Estérel, hills of the Var and villages within half an hour: nature for a brand film or a seminar. Weather, access and nature-area rules are checked the day before.
Steps
Brief remotely or on site, filming in Fréjus, editing in Lyon: I travel the day before for a relaxed scout, then you approve each step online.
Goal, audience, places: you receive a clear proposal, with a video call or an on-site meeting if needed.
Scouting, permits from the site or the City, interview questions, session schedule for a series.
Interviews: half a day. Film or conference: one or two days. Series: as many sessions as planned episodes.
Editing, colour grading, sound and animation; your comments are noted on each version, online.
Film or series
A hotel, a restaurant or a tourist site often needs a main film and several variations for the season. You still need to choose the right formula from the start.
A lead film can in fact open a series. For a recurring programme with a studio, several cameras or a live broadcast, a much larger film crew is needed.
Studio or live: see my Cannes video production page →A project in several episodes?
A quick call to set the number of episodes and the filming pace, no obligation.
They trusted me
A serious, creative professional, always attentive and able to adapt to any situation.
“Professional, talented and very committed.”
“Great communication, a pleasure to work with him!”
“He knows how to handle the unexpected and adapt to different situations.”
“A serious, passionate videographer.”
The videographer
A director since 2018, I film and edit myself, animation, 3D and visual effects included. For a conference or a dense series, a camera operator or a sound technician comes to support me; you always deal with me.
Among my references: the Fréjus car dealership video, the Thalasso Les Issambres, Mars Wrigley at the TFWA, the DGAEV 14 July, the ASPTT MOOVA library and the launch of the OLY app with Teddy Riner. I film regularly in Cannes, forty minutes from Fréjus.
FAQ · Fréjus
Anything else to ask me? One message is enough, I reply within one business day.
The cost depends mainly on writing, the number of sessions, post-production and options (3D, aerial shots, subtitling, short versions). As Fréjus is far from Lyon, travel is an item to plan for (journey, meals, an overnight stay if needed); it decreases when several shoots are grouped on the coast. The details of each item are in my video pricing guide.
Yes, as soon as the shoot occupies public space (beach, port, street, square) with equipment or a crew. I contact the City of Fréjus’s departments several weeks ahead, especially in season, to learn the conditions and lead times. In a private interior, only the manager’s go-ahead counts.
Often, but not everywhere. The Fréjus-Saint-Raphaël aerodrome, the coastline busy in summer and the Estérel nature areas have their own rules. Each zone is checked, declarations made; failing that, a shot from a height or a quay often does the job.
Yes, and it is a frequent request on the coast. We set the shoot outside service hours or in low season, with the management’s agreement; guests who appear on screen are informed, or blurred in the edit if needed.
Yes: for the Fréjus dealership, I presented the Nissan, MG, Alpine and Volvo vehicles, inside and out, respecting each brand’s identity. The same principle applies to a shop, a showroom or a boutique.
Yes: allow about 4 h 30 by road (A7 then A8), or four to five hours by train with a change. For a shoot, I often come the day before. By contrast, Cannes, where I film regularly, is only about forty minutes away.
Yes: presentation film, views of rooms and spaces, behind the scenes, vertical content for Instagram and TikTok. I made the film for the “ Thalasso Les Issambres ”, in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, very close to Fréjus. I prepare a shooting plan that shows the venue at its best without disturbing guests.
All over the eastern Var and the coast: Saint-Raphaël, Roquebrune-sur-Argens, Les Issambres, Sainte-Maxime, Saint-Tropez, Draguignan, and as far as Cannes, Nice and Monaco.
For an institutional film, a series or an event, a videographer-director, supported if needed, offers flexibility and a controlled budget. For a multi-camera studio, a programme or a live broadcast, you need a larger team: I describe them on my page Cannes video production.
Yes. We define a template together (length, graphics, typical shots), then I film in sessions and edit as we go. Exports are adapted to your channels: website, Google listing, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or reception screens.
Yes, that is what I did for OLY and Teddy Riner: 9:16 framing planned at the shoot, subtitles readable without sound, and if needed a horizontal version delivered alongside for the website.
April to June and September–October are ideal: soft light, calm sea, quieter places. In July–August, beaches and port are full: I film early in the morning or late in the day. Winter remains possible for interiors, heritage sites and low-season content.
Yes: by video call from the start, then on site the day before the shoot for scouting. I am regularly in Cannes, about forty minutes away: a meeting can be fitted in during a trip to the coast.
You publish them freely on your channels: website, social media, trade shows, presentations, intranet. The purchased music covers these uses; a TV campaign or billboard use requires an extended licence, provided for in the quote.
