The video capture has become an essential lever for institutions that wish to structure their communication, accelerate the dissemination of their messages, and capitalize on sustainable audiovisual content. Based in Montpellier and active throughout France, Shogun Pictures supports your project from A to Z: preparation, shooting, post-production, and online posting on your platforms.

Our team of professionals ensures the creation, shooting, and sound recording with a level of technical rigor that guarantees image quality and consistency of rendering.

What is video capture?

Before detailing our approach, let’s clarify what it actually entails. Video capture is the faithful recording of an event, an interview, a presentation, or a demonstration, using one or more cameras, with controlled lighting and sound recording. It continues in post-production (editing, graphic design, color grading) to deliver sizes ready for publication (website, social networks, intranet), in accordance with the quote and your objectives.

In practice, the capture aims to clearly convey your messages and key moments (conferences, testimonials, teaching modules), without heavy staging: at Shogun Pictures, we manage the entire process with our high-end equipment owned outright (cameras, lighting, green screen for compositing if needed), in order to deliver immediately usable content.

Why invest in video capture?

Before choosing a provider, it is useful to quantify the business benefits. A well-thought-out capture consolidates your messages, nourishes your networks, and creates a reusable asset over the long term.

• Enhance your speeches: speeches, demonstrations, and key elements become a clear, memorable, and reusable content.

• Multiply the uses: the same shoot feeds your website, corporate presentations, intranet, and social channels.

• Strengthen credibility: a well-crafted production increases visual impact and public perception of your brand. Taken together, these advantages make capture a rational investment: you structure your communication and maximize the return on your highlights.

Our capture services (what we handle)

Our support covers the most common situations in business and the public sector. Each mission is tailored to your needs, your type of event, and your distribution target.

Event (conferences, conventions, fairs, shows)

For stage formats and conferences, we capture all significant moments while ensuring clarity and rhythm in editing.

• Multi-camera coverage (wide shot, side shot, illustrative shots).

• Dedicated sound recording (wireless, boom, recorders) and integration of slides/captions.

• Visual design in accordance with your branding for a homogeneous corporate presentation. Thus, your event becomes a catalog of versions (complete, best-of, teaser) easy to deploy on your platforms.

Corporate & institutional (interviews, testimonials, corporate videos)

The interviews structure and give credibility to your message: we prepare the angles, guide the participants, and favor simple and bright staging.

• Question framework, execution, and directing of interviews in front of the camera.

• Careful recording (image + sound) and smooth editing.

• Adapted formats: business video, HR capsules, CSR, expertise, B2B advertising. The result is precise, coherent content that is immediately reusable across all your channels.

Training / presentations / product demonstrations

The transmission of knowledge gains efficiency when the structure is clear and visual.

• Studio or on-site capture, screen inserts, captions, and chaptering.

• Logical breakdown of elements to simplify understanding.

• Short and modular deliverables for your internal tools and web materials. You obtain a structured educational base, ideal for onboarding and documentation.

Multi-camera capture & sound recording

Each project requires adjusted equipment: we size the gear according to the location, pace, and number of participants.

• Main cinema camera + secondary cameras, appropriate lens kit.

• Wireless microphones, boom, audio returns, lighting control.

• Stability accessories and color monitoring. Thus, we guarantee a constant quality and a clean image, regardless of shooting conditions.

Post-production & multi-format deliverables

Value is revealed in editing: this is where the content takes shape and clarity is imposed.

• Selection, assembly, graphic design, color grading, and audio mixing.

• Generation of exports intended for the website and social networks, teaser options, and subtitles.

• Quality check (spelling, levels, compliance). These steps ensure a clean, coherent output ready to perform as soon as it goes online.

Method & techniques (ensuring results, from briefing to deliverables)

Our method, in four steps, is essential to ensure the expected level, respect the allocated time, and deliver without friction.

1) Preparation (the essential framing)

First and foremost, we clarify desires, messages, and target audiences, then anticipate site constraints.

• Site survey and technical assessment; roadmap and timeline.

• Definition of equipment and execution (angles, breakdown, order of participants). At the end of this step, you validate a clear plan shared by all stakeholders.

2) Shooting (rigor & flexibility on site)

During the shooting, we combine efficiency and discretion to serve the content.

• Cinema cameras, managing light and audio, directing interviews.

• Coverage of key moments and illustrative shots (macro, product, audience). This approach prioritizes visual coherence and clarity of statements, the basis for smooth video editing.

3) Post-production (accuracy & coherence)

The final editorialization gives its final shape to the content and consolidates understanding.

• Selection, rhythm, design, color grading, and mixing.

• Quality control, final corrections, exports. You receive a clean, aesthetic, and immediately usable delivery.

Our high-end equipment (owned outright)

To secure deadlines, resources, and results, Shogun Pictures has its own machinery park: cinema cameras, lenses, complete lighting kits, green screens and paper backdrops for compositing, audio recorders, teleprompter, lightweight machinery, power and backups. Practically, this means faster preparation, controlled technology choices, optimized costs, and reliable execution from scouting to distribution.

Delivered formats, pricing & quotes (what you receive and how we quote)

This section specifies possible outputs and budget factors. The aim is to frame in advance to deliver correctly on the first try.

Delivered formats (according to quotes and uses)

Dimensions and resolutions are defined in the quote according to your target; we can provide all the necessary standards.

• Master 4K or 1080p in 16:9 (H.264/H.265 or ProRes depending on the media).

• 9:16 and 1:1 derivatives for social networks and mobile screens.

• Subtitles (.srt/.vtt), thumbnail, short hook, chaptering if necessary. In the end, you receive exactly what was agreed upon, ready to be deployed on your internal and external materials.

Pricing & quotes (factors to consider)

The cost of a mission depends on several factors involved; here’s what makes a quote vary.

• Duration and complexity of the shoot, number of cameras and operators.

• Specifics of equipment (lenses, machinery, green screen, studio setup), travel.

• Extent of post-production: short versions, teaser, subtitles, graphics, VFX. Our mission is to propose the most efficient solution for your project and your audience; contact us for quick framing and a clear proposal.

Choosing your provider & succeeding in your capture (references + key tips)

To conclude, here are the points to check with a partner and the best practices that streamline the day of. The idea is to reduce uncertainties and maximize the value of the final result.
