# Frequently asked questions - Antoine Similon

> Useful answers from Antoine Similon before we get in contact - how I work in Brussels, and the tools I use.

## Who is Antoine Similon?

Antoine Similon is a freelance corporate videographer based in Brussels (Uccle, Belgium). He produces films for B2B companies, events and institutions, working in English and French, in Belgium and across Europe. Studio: Rue des Balkans 6, 1180 Bruxelles. Trading name: AS PRO (Antoine Similon’s commercial brand). Company: PepperOne SA (VAT BE0874.909.811).

## What kind of videos do you specialize in?

Every production company has its strengths, whether it's telling a brand story or crafting compelling advertising campaigns. Over the years, I have specialized in corporate videos for B2B (small, medium and large companies), events and institutions. I've also worked on many projects that include branded storytelling to promote products or services.

## What is your general work process?

The general work process is a planned number of feedback rounds, depending on the subject and the size of the project. That applies to writing and pre-production as well as post-production - for example one to three passes on the script, or two to three passes on the final edit. The full sequence is on the process page.

## How do you prepare for a shoot?

Before a shoot I match the kit to the brief and to the client’s vision. For a typical corporate day in Brussels I pack:

- Camera, and a backup camera when needed
- Medium zoom lens, tripod, SSD and batteries
- Extra lights to brighten faces
- A lapel mic for interviews, to stay mobile

## What kind of equipment do you use?

I own most of the kit I shoot with in Brussels:

- Blackmagic 6K Pro camera (Super35 sensor)
- Sony FX3 and FX30
- Panasonic GH5
- Lenses, a gimbal stabilizer, studio lights, lapel mics and a prompter

## What kind of editing software do you use?

I am most comfortable with Final Cut Pro X because I have had a lot of practice with it over the years. However, I also like to learn new editing programs, thus I have used DaVinci Resolve in the past and can get by with After Effects for some minor editing.

## How will the video be delivered?

Usually a download link for the frames agreed in the brief - typically 16:9, plus 1:1 or 9:16 when the project needs them. The link stays available for 6 months up to 1 year.

## Where are you based?

I’m based in Brussels (Uccle, Rue des Balkans 6) and shoot for companies and institutions in Belgium and across Europe.

## Do you deliver vertical 9:16 video?

Yes, on request and depending on the project. Stories, Reels and TikTok use 9:16; we confirm the frames during the brief.

## Do you work in English and French?

Yes. Briefs, shoots and delivery can be in English or French.

## Can a film be ready 48 hours after the shoot?

Not as a standard window. The delivery date is agreed before the shoot. A 48-hour turnaround is possible on request.

## How much does a corporate video cost?

Pricing depends on the brief - location, duration, formats and number of films. I don’t publish a fixed rate card; share the project and I’ll send a quote.

## On set, in the room.

Photos and clips from shoots in Brussels and throughout Europe - kit, crew, and the day as it actually looks.
