How we keep our prices this low
A low price is first of all a way of working. Here is ours: what is standardised, what remains bespoke, and what is automated.
Three levers
Own, standardise, display
The fixed-price optician model applied to corporate video: the workshop is ours, the ranges are short, the price is written before you walk in.
The equipment is ours
Pleine Image Loc, the group’s rental house, keeps over 1,000 items at the Saint-Denis warehouse: cameras, lenses, lighting, sound, control room. Each Upon Frame pack is a fixed equipment list, prepared the day before. No external rental, no middleman margin.
The rooms are ours
The podcast studio and the grading suite are on the group’s site in Saint-Denis. The “in studio” packs are our lowest prices because there is no travel and no set-up: you arrive, the light is ready.
The process is standardised
A standard shooting plan per pack, editing and branding templates, a review platform with time-coded comments. The team spends its time filming and editing, not rewriting quotes.
The tools, in practice
What is automated here, and what stays human
We automate where it saves time without touching quality, and we say so on every quote.
Automated
- Read your brief and pre-fill the configurator
- Generate the quote in our invoicing software, numbered, in under a minute
- Transcribe and subtitle, before a full human review
- Translate the voices of training videos, with the written consent of the person filmed and a review by a native speaker
- Suggest motion design visuals, directed by a motion designer
Always human
- Film, light, frame, ask questions
- Pick the takes and edit your film
- Grade on the reference monitor
- Answer the phone: that is a person on the team
- Review every version before it is delivered
The five steps
From brief to delivery
Always the same, for every pack. That is what makes the result predictable.
- Step 1Brief
Online, in one sentence or by ticking a pack. You see the price before you enter your details.
- Step 2Quote
Generated automatically, numbered, e-mailed within a minute. Signature and 30% deposit online.
- Step 3Preparation
A 20-minute call, then a one-page shooting plan approved by your teams, including legal or medical.
- Step 4Shoot or studio
We follow the approved plan. In the Saint-Denis studio, you arrive, we shoot.
- Step 5Delivery
First version on a review platform, time-coded comments, final versions within the stated delivery time.
Our commitments
What we commit to
- Fixed price
The pack price does not move. If the scope changes, the quote changes before, never the invoice after.
- Written lead time
The delivery lead time appears on the pack and on the quote. If it slips because of us, we say so before, not after.
- Corrections included
At least one round of corrections on each pack. You leave time-coded comments on the review platform.
- Simple cancellation
Free up to 72 h before a shoot, 48 h before a studio session. The deposit is then refunded.
