Carmin Productions

What Carmin Productions does

Carmin Productions (legally SAS Rouge Quentin – Carmin Productions) is a Paris-based, founder-owned video and photo production agency founded in 2020 by Quentin Rouge. The company offers a 360° service portfolio spanning commercial video, corporate video, motion design and 3D, event capture, music video and documentary production, photography (lifestyle, e-commerce, packshot, corporate), live streaming, and eco-production services. Its distinguishing operational feature is an embedded sustainability methodology: carbon impact is calculated using the ADEME Base Carbone v22.0 framework on every project, supported by sustainable set practices (plastic-free sets, local catering, individual water bottles) and a commitment to donate 2% of margin to three charity partners — La Mie de Pain, Fondation Perce-Neige, and Wings of the Ocean.

The agency sells project-based professional services with quote-driven pricing tailored to each scope rather than standardized rates. Its go-to-market is sales-led and portfolio-driven: clients discover the agency through the website portfolio, Instagram (@carminproductions), and client referrals, then engage directly via contact form or email. The disclosed client base spans luxury (Dior, Louis Pion, Franck Provost, Maison Skorpios), jewelry (Djula, Les Georgettes), cosmetics and skincare (Cinq Mondes, Etat Pur, Ulé Beauty, La Rosée), and lifestyle (Omie, Gaya) verticals, indicating a horizontal segmentation approach targeting brand-side marketing teams and creative agencies.

The company is bootstrapped with 10,000 EUR of share capital, 1–10 employees, no external funding, no parent company, and operates from a single Paris office (4 rue Caroline, 75017 Paris) serving the French market. It holds no patents, certifications, or formal industry awards. Its competitive advantage rests on its eco-responsible positioning, cross-category creative versatility, and direct enterprise relationships rather than proprietary technology or platform assets — no AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or integrations are disclosed.
