L'Imagerie Films produces high-end corporate and institutional films for industry, banking, architecture and public institutions. NTN, Stäubli, UBP, Patriarche. The problem with a corporate film is never the budget or the technique: it is that it has to be watched to the end by people who never asked for it.
A DRY SUBJECT IS NOT A DULL FILM
A bearing, a robotic arm, an asset management method, an architectural project spanning ten years: none of this is spectacular, and that is exactly where the film is won or lost. Everything is decided in the writing, before the first day of the shoot. Which single message stays, which one goes, who speaks and why.
An institutional film rarely dies of its budget. It dies in a review committee where everyone adds a sentence, until the film says nothing at all. We arrive with a written, argued point of view, and we defend it. A film that says one thing beats a film that says twelve.
EMPLOYER BRANDING, CSR, INTERNAL COMMS
Recruiting in an industrial region where every company is after the same profiles, publishing a CSR report someone will actually read, explaining a reorganisation to staff spread across several countries: each format has its own constraints, and none of them behaves like an advert.
Figures go through motion design, because an animated chart is remembered where a table is skipped. Multilingual versions, subtitling and dubbing are prepared from the edit onwards, not after final sign-off.
How a corporate project actually runs
A corporate film involves more people than a brand film: executive management, communications, HR, legal, sometimes staff representatives. Everyone has a say, and everyone uses it at the last minute. So we frame the approvals from the start: who signs off on what, at which stage, and what is not reopened afterwards. Detailed budget, named milestones, a single contact. Whether the shoot runs from our Annecy studio or crosses the border into Geneva and French-speaking Switzerland.

WHAT CLIENTS ASK
ABOUT CORPORATE FILMS
01.
Isn't a corporate film always a bit boring?
A dry subject isn't a dull film. What kills a corporate film isn't the budget: it's a review committee where everyone adds a sentence until the film says nothing at all. We arrive with one written, defended point of view.
02.
How many people are typically involved in approving a corporate film?
More than a brand film: executive management, communications, HR, legal, sometimes staff representatives. We frame who signs off on what, and at which stage, from the very start.
03.
How much does a film cost?
Budgets start around €5,000–10,000 for smaller projects and can reach €200,000–400,000 for complex productions. It all depends on scope, ambition and the level of expertise required. We're always fully transparent on our quotes and we adapt to your priorities.
04.
Do you handle employer branding and CSR films, or only classic corporate films?
Both. Recruitment films, CSR reports, internal communication for staff spread across several countries: each format has its own constraints and none of them behaves like an advert.
05.
Do you handle multilingual versions for international staff?
Yes. Subtitling and dubbing are prepared from the edit onwards, not after final sign-off.
