Anaphora Productions

What Anaphora Productions does

Anaphora Productions is a privately held audiovisual production agency organized as a SARL (Société à Responsabilité Limitée) headquartered in Nantes, France, founded in 2005. The company is structured around two operational poles: a Production pole delivering corporate films, product videos, training films, tourism films, and aerial drone footage; and a Capture (captation) pole providing multi-camera live and deferred video capture for conferences, theater performances, dance galas, concerts, and cultural events. Its technology stack comprises an owned inventory of professional 4K cameras, mobile control rooms, professional lighting and audio systems, and drones with 3-axis gyrostabilized gimbals operated by a DGAC-certified pilot, supported by an in-house post-production editing suite.\n\nThe business runs a project-based professional services model with fixed-price quotes calibrated to scope (number of cameras, number of camera operators, on-site duration, and technical complexity). Live event capture can be streamed directly to YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Livestorm. Delivery formats include physical media (DVD, USB key with custom packaging) as well as digital streaming via Vimeo. A separate affiliated brand, Anaphora Numérisations, handles legacy 8mm/Super-8 film digitization and CD/DVD duplication. The Nantes-based headquarters is the only disclosed office location.\n\nCustomers are acquired through direct sales across the Grand Ouest (Grand West) of France, targeting small and large enterprises, public institutions and local governments (collectivités), communication agencies, individual artists, and associations/educational institutions. A dedicated production manager is assigned from initiation through delivery, with unlimited validation rounds on final films. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, with no formal reseller or distribution network. Pricing is non-public and negotiated project-by-project.
