What Live Productions does

Live Productions (legal entity: Société LIVERPOD, trading as LIVEPROD) is a privately held French audiovisual production company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Saint-Brévin-les-Pins with operations in Nantes and Paris. The firm offers full-service video production spanning script development, filming, post-production, VFX/compositing, and music composition for corporate films, documentaries, fiction, music videos, and advertising. Its service portfolio is structured around three pillars: LIVEPROD (end-to-end project management), LIVE Stead (a specialized sub-brand renting six professional Steadicam systems — RIG, Clipper 2, and Flyer tiers — with experienced operators available nationwide), and the in-house post-production studio.

The company's production stack centers on professional HD and Ultra HD equipment, BlackMagic Cinema cameras, drone technology, and an integrated post-production suite comprising two AVID Media Composer stations, two After Effects stations, one Da Vinci Resolve station, and Autodesk Flame for VFX. The firm relies on a small core team (1-10 employees), with key technical roles filled by long-tenured specialists such as Steadicam operator Antony Thomas-Auzanneau, who has collaborated on all projects since 2012.

Live Productions operates a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with no published pricing. Customer segments span enterprise (ARTE, Samsung Club des Chefs, Thomson PEM, Saint-Nazaire Tourism), SMBs (music artists, event organizers, regional businesses), and government/tourism bodies, with recurring engagements such as the PRE entrepreneur event (covered annually since 2016) and festival documentation. The company is GDPR-compliant, has produced 2,500+ films over 23 years, and holds no external investment or parent entity, indicating independent owner-operator status.
