Nicolas Sautereau

Cameraman / Video Editorfor « La Française des Jeux » (nearly 10 years) via its production structure « La Française d’Images » then « ImSoProd ».

For almost ten years, I have produced more than 400 videos, reports and interviews for La Française des Jeux, in France and internationally.

I was responsible for the complete production chain: preparation of filming, capture (interviews, events, reports), editing, graphic design and delivery of final content.

Versatile and autonomous, I filmed and edited most of the projects alone, guaranteeing professional quality and tight deadlines each time. I have worked on both dynamic short formats (internal clips, digital communication, event modules) and longer reports intended for internal or institutional partners.

This experience allowed me to develop:

• Great speed of execution (capture + editing independently)

• A mastery of visual writing to tell a story in images

• An adaptation to different audiences and contexts (internal communication, social networks, corporate)

• A habit of working on the move, in France and abroad.

Today, I put this expertise (among others) at the service of various projects: editing corporate videos, social networks, YouTube/TikTok content, digital advertisements.

Artistic director & co-producer – N.O.L.A Circus

Crazy Franco-American comedy (85 min, released 2016), filmed in New Orleans.

• I supported the director from the genesis of the project, in particular during the writing phase and the creation of the storyboard, and contributed to the adaptation of the screenplay in English.

• I participated in the casting and selection of filming locations on site, ensuring the visual authenticity and atmosphere of the film.

• As artistic director, I designed the visual identity of the project (sets, costumes, atmosphere, narrative vs visual coherence).

• As co-producer, I managed the coordination between the creative teams and supervised the making-of.

• This film is unique in its kind: entirely financed by a collective of international French athletes, such as Boris Diaw, Louis Saha, Nicolas Batum, Luc Abalo, Ian Mahinmi, Alexis Ajinça, Nando de Colo, Ronny Turiaf, Bacary Sagna, Michael Ciani, Johan Djourou, Maxime Mermoz, via the company One Million Dollar Film (The Illicit Producers).

• Part of the film's profits were donated to charities, initiated by these athletes.

Key points of this experience:

• Collaboration from the creative stages: writing, storyboard, linguistic adaptation.

• Contribution to casting and location choices (New Orleans).

• Complete visual management (artistic direction) and documentary management (making-of).

• Participation in an innovative and supportive adventure, led by top-level French athletes.

• Ability to evolve in an independent, multicultural and internationalized production environment.
