Design, industry and training · Saint-Étienne
Cité du Design, manufacturers, engineering schools, stadium and concert halls: about fifty minutes from Lyon, Saint-Étienne can be filmed over one day or several, with no hotel night. I film for companies, training institutions and organisers in the Saint-Étienne metropolitan area.

What matters in Saint-Étienne
About fifty minutes by regional train separate Lyon from Saint-Étienne, and roughly an hour via the A47. This proximity changes the way of working: we can film in several sessions, come back for a missing shot or follow a project all year with no hotel costs.
In Saint-Étienne, many subjects are played out in the detail: a workshop gesture, a designed object, a process. I take the time to set up the light and to frame as close as possible to the material. With the MOOVA library, I also learned to sustain a large series of consistent videos over several months.
MOOVA · 240 sessions
Students, young engineers and sports fans watch on their phones first. As for Teddy Riner’s OLY app, I design every frame so that it also works in 9:16.
OLY · 9:16 format
With many direct regional trains every day, or an hour by road via the A47, I am on site early in the morning and back in the evening: no hotel night to plan.

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 Saint-Étienne’s schools, manufacturers and organisers. Each case study shows the result.
ASPTT · MOOVA
The ASPTT was launching MOOVA, its app dedicated to sport and well-being, with a library of 240 sessions of 20 to 30 min, from yoga to strength training. My role: editing a large share of the sessions and managing exports and deliverables, around 17 TB of files tracked line by line in a production spreadsheet. An engineering school, a training organisation or a company preparing a catalogue of online modules needs this 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 facing the camera and exercises shown step by step, in a dark set crossed by green neon lights. For a Saint-Étienne start-up or a sports club in the Loire, this is the kind of format that makes a product known 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 Pilat or a company convention in Saint-Étienne raises the same question: how to keep a narrative when the mood changes three times in a day.

Services
Manufacturers, engineering schools and universities, design players, sports clubs and concert halls: each film starts from the person who will watch it.
Presenting a craft, a production site or a team to clients, partners or candidates: we build a simple thread, I film according to the site’s rules, then I deliver the film and its variations.

Length and format are decided according to the target audience and where they will watch the video. Here are the combinations that most often suit Saint-Étienne’s manufacturers, schools and organisers.
| Goal | Format | Length | Where to publish it | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Presenting a company | Corporate film | About 2 min | Website, partners, trade shows | Your trades and your expertise, 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. |
| Recruiting locally | Employer brand video | 90 s + portraits | Careers page, schools | Teams showing their daily life, more telling than a job ad. |
| Bring a congress 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. |
| Explaining a process | Motion design and 3D | 1 to 2 min | Trade shows, training, website | A clear animation for what escapes the camera. |
Saint-Étienne, the practical side
A shoot in the street or on a square is notified to the City beforehand; on a private site, it is the owner’s permission that counts.
Strict urban rules, Saint-Étienne–Loire airport nearby: every flight is checked before being proposed.
The city is tiered across several hills: in winter, the sun disappears early behind the ridges, so I schedule exteriors accordingly.
A shoot during a concert or a match is prepared with the organiser: accreditation, set-up slots, filming zones.
Saint-Étienne settings
Rehabilitated former industrial sites, city-centre squares, a creative district, the Pilat hills on the horizon: settings follow one another quickly. Six areas to keep in mind.
Place Jean-Jaurès, Place de l’Hôtel-de-Ville, shopping streets and tram: a lively urban atmosphere for a shopkeeper’s portrait, a retail-brand film or a city-centre mood.
Former arms factories turned creative hub: brick, glass roofs and exhibition spaces, perfect for a brand film, a designer portrait or an interview against the architecture.
Around the station, the city’s business district: recent offices and company headquarters, for your corporate films or recruitment videos.
Headframe and original buildings, now the Mining Museum park: an industrial setting that tells the city’s mining history, for a heritage film, a documentary or a portrait.
The Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, the Zénith and the concert halls: matches, concerts and large gatherings, filmed with the organiser’s consent and according to its access constraints.
The Pilat regional nature park to the south-east, the Le Corbusier site in Firminy about fifteen minutes away: nature and modern architecture for a countryside seminar or a brand film.
Steps
Brief remotely or on site, filming in Saint-Étienne, editing in Lyon: proximity means we can meet when useful, without making it a constraint.
Objective, audience, locations: you receive a clear proposal, with 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
Because Saint-Étienne is very close to Lyon, a series of videos filmed in several sessions costs little in travel. 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.

They trusted me
Quentin is very professional, full of ideas and captures superb images. He knows how to handle the unexpected and adapt to different situations.
“Very professional, video edited very quickly.”
“Impeccable image quality, a smooth pace.”
“Great communication, a pleasure to work with him!”
“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 ASPTT’s MOOVA library, the launch of the OLY app with Teddy Riner, Mars Wrigley at the TFWA, the DGAEV’s 14 July, the Afterwork Running in Valence. As Saint-Étienne is less than an hour from Lyon, I can come and meet you even before quoting.
FAQ · Saint-Étienne
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). Thanks to the proximity of Lyon, travel remains a small item: regional train ticket or car, no accommodation. The detail of each item is in my video pricing guide.
Yes, as soon as the shoot occupies public space (pavement, square, park) with equipment or a crew. I contact the City of Saint-Étienne’s departments several weeks beforehand to learn the conditions and lead times. In a private interior, only the manager’s green light counts.
Often, but not everywhere. In the built-up area, flying is reserved for registered operators, within a precise framework. Saint-Étienne–Loire airport, at Andrézieux-Bouthéon, and the Pilat nature areas have their own rules. Each zone is checked and declarations made; failing that, a view from a hill or a viewpoint often does the job.
Yes, following the site’s protocol: safety clothing and equipment, declared equipment, certain workstations or screens kept out of frame. When the subject is sensitive, the images are shown to you before any release, and confidential parts can be handled with animation.
Yes, with the organiser’s consent: accreditation, access to filming zones, safety instructions. I film the atmosphere, the highlights and the crowd, then edit a summary and clips for social media. For several angles in parallel, I come with a second operator.
No: by regional train, Lyon-Part-Dieu station is only about fifty minutes from Saint-Étienne-Châteaucreux, with frequent departures during the day. By car, the A47 offers a journey of about an hour. No need to book a hotel for a day on site.
Yes: presentation films, portraits of students or alumni, conference recordings, educational series. The 240 MOOVA sessions taught me to organise a large number of consistent videos, with files and versions kept up to date.
Throughout the metropolitan area and beyond: Firminy, Saint-Chamond, Rive-de-Gier, Andrézieux-Bouthéon, Roche-la-Molière, Saint-Priest-en-Jarez, La Ricamarie, up to the Pilat and Montbrison. Roanne and Lyon are also within reach.
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 Lyon video production.
Yes. We define a template together (length, branding, standard shots), then I film in sessions and edit as we go. Exports are adapted to your platform: online training tool, app, YouTube or intranet.
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 offer the most beautiful light. In winter, the days are short and the city, tiered on its hills, can see frost and snow: I build margin into the schedule. In summer, I favour morning and late afternoon for exteriors.
Yes, that is the advantage of proximity: a day return is enough for an on-site meeting or a location scout, in addition to video calls and edit versions to annotate online.
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.
