Videographer
in Monaco.

The price depends on three things: the time spent filming and editing, the number of technicians, and options such as drone, 3D or several versions. For Monaco, add the train from Lyon and often a night on site; during the Grand Prix or the Yacht Show, accommodation costs much more. Each item appears separately in the quote, and my price guide explains the rest.

Yes, always. Any shoot in the Principality, advertising, corporate film or photography, requires a request to the Government’s Communication Department, at least 15 days beforehand, via an online service. A public-domain occupation fee may apply. In a private venue, the owner’s consent is also required.

Only in a professional setting, and under strict conditions: the operator must hold an annual approval from the Monaco Civil Aviation Directorate, request a permit before each flight and equip drones with a parachute above 700 g as well as an identification system. The Palace and its square are never overflown, and drones may be banned during major events. My French certificate is not enough: we look together at the best option.

By train, about 5 h 40 with a change at Nice for the regional train along the coast, about ten services a day. By plane, Lyon – Nice takes under an hour, then road or train to the Principality. By car, allow about five hours. The chosen route appears in the quote.

These venues belong to the Société des Bains de Mer, which issues its own filming permits; its names and brands remain its property. In front of the Casino entrance, filming is banned during opening hours. For a shoot inside, you must go through the SBM well in advance.

Yes, for a brand, a hotel or a partner present at the event, with the necessary accreditations or private access (terrace, yacht, lounge). The circuit is set up several weeks before the race, in early June: traffic, accommodation and access must be planned very early, and drones may be banned.

In late September, Port Hercule hosts over a hundred superyachts and hundreds of exhibitors. I can film your stand, a tour on board or a reception, with the organiser’s or owner’s consent. Days are packed: we prepare a precise schedule in advance.

Yes: Menton, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Beausoleil, Cap-d’Ail, Èze, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Nice and up to Cannes, where I have already filmed. Several shoots in the surrounding area can be chained during the same stay to lighten travel.

Not necessarily. Brand portrait, interview or event: a director, supported if needed by a second operator, gives a polished image and more discretion. A TV campaign, casting or a multi-camera set, on the other hand, require a production company; my page on Nice video production describes these set-ups.

Yes, if the owner or operator gives consent, dockside or at sea. On board, space is tight and the light changes fast: I work light, stabilise the image and plan exterior shots from the quay or a tender when possible. Drone flights remain subject to Monegasque rules.

Yes. In Monaco, a good share of clients and guests do not speak French: English subtitles, interviews conducted in English (the Victador project ran entirely in that language) and, for Italian or other languages, integration of a translation approved by you.

We define before the shoot what can be filmed and released: guests not to show, private areas, brands present. I have a release signed by people filmed up close, I deliver the images through a private link and I publish nothing, not even in my portfolio, without your consent.

Outside the Grand Prix and the Yacht Show, the Principality is smoother and hotels more accessible. April-May and October offer beautiful light; in summer, I favour early morning and late afternoon to avoid the crowds and the heat.

The delivered videos are licensed to you for your communication uses: website, social media, client meetings, digital advertising. For TV broadcast or billboards, the licence is adapted in the quote. In Monaco, also think about brands and venues visible on screen: those of the SBM, for example, cannot be used commercially without consent.
