LaBoîte produces presentation films, recruitment videos, trade show coverage and reels for Lyon companies, with our partner video crews. We prepare the project from Chambéry and come to Lyon to film. Each film is edited in several versions: website, LinkedIn, Instagram and stand screens.
The Institut Lumière, on rue du Premier-Film in Monplaisir, says it plainly when presenting its museum: cinema was born in Lyon. Today the metropolitan area is home to audiovisual and digital companies, notably in Vaise according to ONLYLYON Invest, and their neighbours are quick to judge the quality of a video. For a Lyon company, an average film does not go unnoticed: it comes across as carelessness.
We have no office in Lyon: preparation is done by video call, then our partner video crews come to film at your premises, on a building site or at a trade show. Our video and photography service details the method, and our web agency in Lyon page presents our other services for the metropolitan area.
What must a corporate video prove in the Lyon market?
What sets you apart from competitors who often offer the same thing, with visible proof: people, places, completed work. A video that could belong to any competitor serves no purpose.
The Métropole de Lyon brings together 58 municipalities, and almost every trade has many players there. Before filming, we work out with you the idea a customer should remember and the scene that proves it: a team in a meeting, a part coming off the machine, a service delivered in the dining room. If that idea is still vague, the work starts with the offer, as explained in our article on how to sell your offer.
Of the whole range of video formats, three come up often in Lyon: the presentation film for companies that sell to other businesses, the recruitment video for employers competing for the same profiles, and event coverage.
What film for a company in Part-Dieu or Techlid?
A short film that presents the company through its people and concrete cases, cut into excerpts for LinkedIn and sales meetings. The tone stays understated; the proof comes from the images.
ONLYLYON Invest presents Part-Dieu as the second-largest business district in France and Techlid as the second-largest office hub in the Métropole. Firms, regional headquarters and service companies there sell trust: a useful film shows a way of working, a meeting, a workshop, a client being supported (with their written consent), rather than a succession of glass façades and open-plan offices.
A single shoot supplies several pieces: a version of about one minute for the home page, subtitled vertical excerpts for LinkedIn, short portraits for the careers page. On-screen text serves as the thread, because a professional video is often watched without sound, at the office or on the train.
How do you film a trade show at Eurexpo or a corporate event?
By preparing three stages: footage to announce your presence, coverage on the day, then a short edit published straight afterwards. The shooting plan is set around the show programme and your stand.
Eurexpo Lyon, in Chassieu, offers 150,000 m² of space and seven halls, for trade and consumer shows, conferences and corporate seminars. On a stand, video works twice: looping silently on a screen to stop visitors, then on social media for those who did not come. We draw up with you the list of moments to capture: the opening, the demonstrations, the meetings, the talks.
The Jok’air showcase, shot by our partner video crews and visible on our reels page, shows what it takes to capture a live moment where nothing can be re-shot. To bring people in before the date, our journal article on the advertising countdown for an event in Lyon completes this preparation, with reels run as online advertising.
Who can help with filming in the streets of Lyon?
The Bureau d’accueil des tournages, the film commission of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Cinéma, present in Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand, helps productions with the formalities. The people filmed, for their part, must give their written consent.
This office offers its services free of charge to film and audiovisual professionals, including advertising, music videos and photo shoots: finding locations, technicians and suppliers, and help with filming permit applications. It also keeps catalogues, including a directory of more than 600 technicians. For a corporate video shot on public roads, our partner video crews can draw on these resources and on the relevant municipal departments.
On image rights, Service-public.fr requires specific consent covering the medium, the purpose and the duration of use, and fresh consent if the image is used for something else. For a recruitment film shot with your employees, we prepare these releases before the shoot and plan what happens to the video if someone leaves the company.
Reels for a Lyon shop or restaurant?
Yes, as long as you keep up a rhythm and link each reel to an action: booking, visiting the shop, sending a message. Reels show what your Google listing and your website describe.
The corporate video for Mademoiselle Barber, shot by our partner video crews, illustrates this format for a service business. In a city where every neighbourhood lines up competing addresses, an effective reel gets straight to the point: the gesture, the dish, the product, then the reason to come here rather than elsewhere.
Vertical editing is covered in our article on reels, TikTok and stories, and what should follow the view of a reel in another piece in our journal. We organise publishing through our social media support. Fine-dining restaurants will also find ideas in our article on the website of a gourmet restaurant in Lyon.
How do we work in Lyon from Chambéry?
Preparation is done remotely, filming on location, editing and approvals online. You keep a single point of contact from script to publication.
We start with a video call to set the goal, the audience and the locations, then send a script and a quote. Filming days are grouped to limit trips back and forth: a presentation film and a series of reels can often be shot in the same session. In the edit, each version has its use: website, LinkedIn, Instagram, stand screen or ad creative.
Companies that are also reviewing their image can look at our branding agency in Lyon page, and those that want to be found neighbourhood by neighbourhood our local SEO in Lyon page. For Savoie and Haute-Savoie, see our corporate video in Chambéry and corporate video in Annecy pages.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a team on site in Lyon?
No. LaBoîte is based in Chambéry; our partner video crews come to Lyon to film for each project, after preparation carried out remotely.
Can you film our stand at a trade show?
Yes. We prepare the list of moments to capture with you, film during the show and deliver short versions for social media as well as a version for your website.
Do you make recruitment films?
Yes: portraits of employees who volunteer, a typical day in a role, a tour of the premises, with written consent from every person filmed.
How much does a corporate film cost in Lyon?
The quote depends on the number of filming days, locations and speakers, the versions to deliver and the distribution. We set it out in detail after a first conversation.
