SIGNS Films: premium video production studio in Paris and Geneva
PREMIUM VIDEO PRODUCTION STUDIO, PARIS AND GENEVA
SIGNS Films is a premium video production studio founded in 2017 by Maxime Vaux, director and head of production. Based in Ivry-sur-Seine, near Paris, the studio works between Paris and Geneva.
Art de Vivre: Spirits, Hospitality and Gastronomy Video
SIGNS Films celebrates the French and international art of living through films that capture the elegance of a living heritage. We've filmed Rémy Martin in its Cognac cellars (XO, VSOP, Tercet, Club, 1738) staging the house's centuries-old craftsmanship. For Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris, our portrait of pastry chef Yazid Ichemrahen exceeded 6 million views. From Parisian palaces to Michelin-starred tables, from the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France in South Korea to spirits houses, each film is conceived as a sensory invitation where light, rhythm and sound serve the product as much as the emotion.
- Brand films for spirits houses
- Luxury hospitality and palaces
- Fine gastronomy and chef portraits
- Heritage shoots in France and worldwide
Sport Video: Multi-Cam and Drone Coverage
SIGNS Films captures the intensity of sport with a cinematic rig deployed at the heart of the action. Bike-mounted cameras, race-following drones, multi-angle coverage: we produce films that convey effort, mental preparation and the raw emotion of competition. From the Étape du Tour, filmed every year from 2019 to 2025, to the Paris Half Marathon and the Lille Urban Trail in 2026, all for AG2R La Mondiale, to the portrait of track cycling world champion Quentin Lafargue, every project is designed as a sports short film. Our command of dynamic editing and sound design turns hours of rushes into stories that give you chills.

Luxury Video: High-End Cinematic Production
Since 2017, SIGNS Films has supported luxury houses in creating films that match the demands of their world. Shot and color-graded with a cinematic eye, our films elevate every material, every artisan gesture, every product detail. From Le Royal Monceau to Cheval Blanc Paris, from the Rémy Martin cellars to La Cornue, we stage craftsmanship with the rigour of cinema: art direction, storyboard, lighting designed like a feature film. Every film is reviewed in a calibrated 4K screening room before delivery.
- Cinematic photography direction, on ARRI Alexa 35 for high-end productions
- Cinema-grade color on DaVinci Resolve
- Drone coverage for architectural views
- Storytelling of artisan craftsmanship
Premium Event Film: Aftermovie and Live Coverage
An event only lasts a moment: its film should make it last. SIGNS Films turns your galas, launches and parties into scripted aftermovies that extend the experience long after the last note. We have filmed parties, conventions and corporate gatherings for Allianz Live, XAnge, Siparex, Innovorder and Silvr in Chamonix, with a team of one to four videographers depending on the scale of the event, from brief to delivery.
- Scripted aftermovies and gala films
- Multi-camera live coverage
- Product launch films and VIP evenings
- International event coordination
Corporate Video: Institutional Films and Storytelling
At SIGNS Films, a corporate film is never just an institutional video. It's a story. We've told La Poste Group's digital transformation, Renault's electric vision, Les Echos-Le Parisien's media power, Exail's tech innovation and Weglot's international growth. Every production begins with a deep creative brief, followed by a storyboard and art direction designed like a film script. Our creatives (drawn from both the film industry and communications) master the art of turning a corporate message into a story that captivates.
- Institutional films with cinematic writing
- Executive portraits and interviews
- Brand storytelling and visual narration
- Custom art direction and storyboard
Employer Branding Video: Recruitment and Culture
Talent chooses a culture before a job. SIGNS Films produces employer branding films that reveal the soul of your company with production quality that sets you apart. Team portraits, onboarding videos, recruitment campaigns: we've supported Article 1 in spotlighting equal opportunities, Innovorder in tech recruitment, and many groups in showcasing their internal culture. Our cinematic approach (crafted lighting, careful editing, authentic narration) turns an HR message into a film that makes people want to apply.
- Recruitment films and HR campaigns
- Onboarding and integration videos
- Team portraits and testimonials
- Company culture showcase
Brand Content and Video Series: Episodic Formats
A one-off film creates impact. A series builds an audience. SIGNS Films produces episodic formats with the cinematic quality of a high-end production studio: branded web series, recurring content, short formats designed for social media. We've produced several seasons for LEDR/NCDR, created the show "Sans Filtre" for Article 1 with leading guests, and developed brand content formats for brands aiming to build a lasting presence with their community. Every episode is scripted, shot and edited with the same care as a standalone film.
- Multi-season branded web series
- Shows and talk-show formats
- Short-form social media content
- Video editorial strategy
CSR and Engagement Video: Impact Documentaries
Your CSR commitments deserve more than an annual report. SIGNS Films turns them into cinematic stories that mobilise. We've documented the 1000 Cafés initiative to revitalise small French towns, made a video series for France Relance and the Eure-et-Loir Prefecture presenting the recovery plan through concrete examples, and produced engagement films for Mutualité Française. Our approach: field immersion, authentic testimonials and storytelling that inspires action. Each mini-documentary is designed for both internal and public audiences, with storytelling that turns numbers into emotion.
- Social impact mini-documentaries
- Engagement and awareness films
- Field testimonials and immersion
- Narrative video CSR reports
AI Films: AI-Augmented Video Production
Artificial intelligence doesn't replace cinema: it augments it. At SIGNS Films, we integrate AI into our productions with one simple requirement: it must not show. Shot extensions, generated sequences, invisible retouching: in a luxury film, up to about 30% of the shots can go through AI without the viewer noticing a single seam. We also produce fully AI-generated content, such as the 100% AI campaign made for FULLCUT, an editing assistant and AI studio.
- Shot extension and AI sequence creation
- Voice cloning and intelligent dubbing
- Full-AI clips and creative content
