Vertical Video Production Agency in Paris: Key Criteria

Are your vertical videos designed for how each platform is actually used, or simply cropped? To choose a vertical video production agency in Paris, check the whole chain, from editorial angle to editing and adaptations. Our team works from Paris and supports brands with vertical video production in Paris suited to both organic and paid use.

The 9:16 format alone is not enough to guarantee a well-adapted creative. Pacing, subtitles and the call to action also depend on the intended placement. TikTok's ad specifications recommend the vertical 9:16 format for in-feed ads and set out safe zones to respect.

How do you choose a vertical video production agency in Paris?

Start by defining your objective: visibility, acquisition, in-store visits or a consistent publishing schedule. Then ask what is included in the service, from the script through to the delivered videos. Vertical video production may include shooting and editing, whereas publishing or campaign management falls under a separate service.

To compare quotes, check the number of videos, durations, shoot locations, whether actors are involved, planned adaptations and usage rights. Also ask for clarification on the number of revision rounds included, the formats delivered and post-publication follow-up. These details let you compare like-for-like scopes and identify which tasks remain your team's responsibility.

Which type of video suits your objective?

If paid advertising is your priority, creative ads are designed to support a campaign and let you test several creative approaches. UGC videos borrow the conventions of creator content, featuring actors or creators depending on the project. Organic content, meanwhile, is intended to sustain a social media presence over time.

These formats meet different needs and can complement one another. A vertical video production project for social media can therefore combine regular posts with creatives dedicated to paid media. If a campaign includes a post by a paid influencer, make sure its commercial nature will be clearly disclosed. The DGCCRF recommendation requires an immediately visible disclosure, in French, for this type of content.

Description: We handle strategy, scriptwriting, shooting, editing and delivery. Videos are adapted to the conventions of each platform rather than reproduced identically. We have worked with more than 350 brands and account for 500M cumulative views and over €50M in revenue generated.

• We shoot in our Paris studio or at clients' premises anywhere in France. Travel is included in the quote.
• Production can be complemented by media buying or by managing posts and interactions on social media.
• The quote is based on the number of videos and the level of management required, which keeps creative work separate from additional services.

Cons:

• Our support involves a minimum six-month commitment, which should be factored in before setting the project's timeline and budget.

How can you check content is adapted to each platform?

Imagine a single brand preparing an aesthetic Reel, a TikTok ad and a Short designed to be discovered on YouTube. The shoot can provide a common base, but the edit, the hook and the adaptations must match each use. For Instagram, ask how the art direction and the 9:16 formats or feed adaptations will be handled. Our Reels video studio in Paris works on these art direction challenges in particular.

Also check the rules on duration and distribution. For standard YouTube channels, vertical or square videos of up to 3 minutes can be classed as Shorts, in line with YouTube's Shorts rules. Ask the agency how it adapts pacing and structure to the chosen format, rather than assuming a single version will work everywhere.

What should you check in the quote and timeline?

Before approving a project, make sure the production cost is separated from the media budget. The quote should specify the number of videos, the shooting arrangements and any additional services chosen. With us, pricing is quoted according to the number of videos and the level of management. The budget allocated to advertising campaigns is separate from the production cost.

Also clarify the timeline and the terms of use for the deliverables. Lead times depend on the volume and type of production and are set when the project is scoped. Delivered videos belong to the client and can be used on its accounts and in its campaigns under the terms of the quote. Finally, for regular publishing, ask how views, retention, engagement, clicks or conversions relevant to your objective will be tracked.
