How to choose an audiovisual production agency in Montpellier?
Entrusting the creation of a video to an audiovisual production agency is not simply about choosing a team capable of filming. The success of a project also depends on understanding your goals, preparing the shoot, artistic direction, post-production, and the formats planned for distribution.
In Montpellier as elsewhere, studio profiles can be very different: some focus primarily on filming, while others support projects from their conception to their final delivery.
Shogun Pictures is an independent audiovisual production and post-production studio located near Montpellier. Coming from the world of cinema, we support businesses, brands, and creators in making corporate films, commercials, interviews, reports, documentaries, music videos, and content intended for digital platforms.
But how do you know which agency really fits your project? Here are the main criteria to take into account.
What is the role of an audiovisual production agency?
An audiovisual production agency can intervene in all or part of the creation of video content.
At Shogun Pictures, a project can be supported from the initial brainstorm to its final delivery. The objective is not just to produce beautiful images: we must build content that is consistent with the client's message, audience, and distribution channels.
Pre-production
Before shooting, it is essential to define the project precisely.
This phase can include, in particular:
defining the concept;
writing and scripting;
preparing a storyboard;
scouting locations;
preparing the schedule;
the technical organization of the shoot.
Good preparation helps avoid many difficulties during filming and ensures that the images produced will truly meet the project's objectives.
The shoot
The shoot is then adapted to the type of production: interview, corporate film, commercial, report, event, music video, or content intended for social networks.
Shogun Pictures works in the studio as well as on-site with an approach derived from cinematic production methods: framing, lighting, sound recording, cinematography, and directing are designed together to build a consistent visual identity.
Depending on the project's needs, aerial drone photography can also complement the production.
Post-production
The work doesn't stop at the shoot.
Editing, color grading, sound design, motion design, and reformatting allow us to transform the filmed images into content that is truly ready to be broadcast.
It is also at this stage that more advanced VFX post-production and compositing work can take place.
To discover more about the different stages where our team can assist, you can also consult our audiovisual production and post-production services.
What criteria should you look at before choosing your video agency?
Price should not be the only decision factor. Several elements help determine if a studio is the right fit for your project.
Completed projects
The portfolio allows you to quickly understand the technical level, visual universe, and diversity of projects carried out by an agency.
Look in particular at whether the studio has already worked on projects close to yours: corporate film, commercial, interview, event, documentary, music video, or visual effects.
At Shogun Pictures, our portfolio brings together audiovisual productions as well as post-production, VFX, web design, and visual communication work.
The workflow
An agency must be able to clearly explain:
the different stages of production;
what is included in the service;
the schedule;
the planned deliverables;
the number of revisions;
the formats that will be provided.
This organization is particularly important when several people are involved in the validation of the project.
Creative guidance
A video production should not just be about executing a brief.
A good agency must also be able to advise its client when certain ideas can be improved or adapted to the distribution channel.
At Shogun Pictures, we seek to maintain this creative dimension from the very first discussions so that technique remains at the service of the story, message, and identity of the project.
Technical skills
Equipment is important, but it never replaces the expertise of the team that uses it.
Our workflows combine cinema cameras and lighting equipment with specialized software such as DaVinci Resolve for editing and color grading, as well as Nuke, Houdini, and Blender for post-production and VFX.
This combination allows us to maintain technical continuity from the shoot to the final image.
How to prepare your project before asking for a quote?
The more precise your request, the more an agency will be able to offer a suitable solution.
Before making contact, try to define a few essential elements.
What is the goal of the video?
Do you want to:
present your company;
promote a product or service;
explain a specific know-how;
gather testimonials;
cover an event;
raise awareness on a topic;
build an advertising campaign?
Two videos of the same duration can require completely different productions depending on their objective.
Who is it for?
Communication intended for employees is not constructed in the same way as an advertisement intended for the general public.
Identifying the audience allows us to adjust the tone, duration, narrative, and pace of the content.
Where will it be distributed?
It is best to plan the distribution channels right from the project design stage.
The same production may, for example, require:
a horizontal version for a website, YouTube, or a presentation;
a vertical version for Instagram, TikTok, or Reels;
a short version intended for an advertising campaign;
different snippets for LinkedIn or social media.
At Shogun Pictures, we can integrate these variations directly into the project preparation in order to maintain consistency between the different formats.
What budget should be planned for an audiovisual production?
There is no universal price for a professional video.
The budget depends in particular on:
the number of preparation and shoot days;
the size of the team required;
the equipment used;
the number of locations;
any travel expenses;
the duration of the edit;
color grading and sound design;
the presence of visual effects;
the number of versions and formats to be delivered.
A relatively simple interview shoot and an advertisement requiring several sets, a large team, and advanced post-production will obviously not cost the same.
This is why, at Shogun Pictures, we prioritize a quote built around the project rather than a generic price grid.
The objective is to determine the resources actually needed and avoid planning services that would not add anything to the final result.
Tell us about your project and request a personalized quote.
Why work with an audiovisual agency in Montpellier?
Calling on a team based in the region can facilitate the organization of a project shot in Montpellier or Occitanie.
Scouting, preparing the shoot, discussions with the client's teams, and knowledge of the area can be simpler when the provider is nearby.
Shogun Pictures is located near Montpellier, while also working on productions in other French regions.
This local presence does not limit our scope of action: it simply allows us to be particularly available for companies and organizations in Montpellier and its region.
What is the role of VFX in audiovisual production?
Visual effects are not only for cinema productions.
They can also bring very concrete solutions to corporate films, commercials, music videos, or documentaries.
At Shogun Pictures, our post-production work can include:
compositing;
clean-up and image retouching;
tracking;
element integration;
matte painting;
visual effects creation and simulations.
Compositing can, for example, be used to remove an element present during filming, integrate a graphic design into a shot, or build an image that is impossible to obtain directly with the camera.
This double expertise in audiovisual production + VFX post-production allows us to anticipate certain constraints starting from the shoot rather than seeking to resolve them only once the footage is recorded.
Discover our VFX portfolio to see different examples of compositing, clean-up, and visual effects created by Shogun Pictures.
A few examples of projects produced by Shogun Pictures
The best way to evaluate an agency is still to look at what they have actually produced.
Among our achievements, several projects illustrate very different needs.
XFeet – Tudigo
For XFeet - Tudigo, we produced a video to accompany their Tudigo crowdfunding campaign, including interviews, filming, editing, and color grading.
IRD – MAD
We also produced a scientific documentary around the MAD project and research carried out by the IRD.
This project combined filming, interviews, and post-production work, including compositing and image retouching.
Objectif 3D – Commercial
For Objectif 3D, Shogun Pictures took charge of designing a commercial intended for cinema and television, from writing and preparation to filming and post-production.
Some of our commercial productions have thus been broadcast in cinemas and on M6 Replay.
These projects also show why it is important to choose an agency based on the real need: a corporate interview, a scientific documentary, and a commercial do not require the same preparation, the same team, or the same post-production.
Why choose Shogun Pictures for your video project?
Founded in 2022 by Jérémy Blasco and Thibaut Pierre, Shogun Pictures was born from profiles coming from the world of cinema and post-production.
This double creative and technical culture directly influences our way of working.
We seek to combine:
creative thinking beforehand;
rigorous technical preparation;
particular attention paid to the image;
mastered post-production;
specific expertise in VFX and compositing;
support tailored to the needs of each client.
Our goal is not to apply the same recipe to every company.
A corporate video, a documentary, a commercial, or a social media campaign must have their own writing, their own pace, and their own constraints.
This is the approach we apply to the projects entrusted to Shogun Pictures.
How do you know if Shogun Pictures is the right fit for your project?
Before choosing an audiovisual agency, take the time to talk with them.
Explain your goal, your audience, the planned distribution channels, and any schedule or budget constraints.
These initial discussions often make it possible to quickly determine the most relevant format and the resources needed to produce it.
If you are preparing a corporate film, a commercial, an interview, a report, a documentary, an event recording, or a project requiring VFX post-production, our team can study your needs and offer you suitable support.
