Based in Quebec City, P34K offers its video production services across the province — including Montreal upon request. A successful shoot requires rigorous pre-production, a coordinated crew, and a creative vision aligned with the brand. Nothing is left to chance.

P34K is based in Quebec City: why shooting in Montreal is still possible

Our studio is established in Quebec City, where we carry out the vast majority of our productions. We do however offer our services in Montreal and across Quebec for clients who wish — travel fees apply depending on the nature of the project. This geographic flexibility allows us to serve a province-wide clientele without any compromise on quality.

What are the key steps in a P34K video production?

Our video production process breaks down into five distinct phases, each serving the next. The quality of the final deliverable is directly proportional to the quality of the work done before the shoot.

Phase 1 — The strategic brief

Before any camera, we spend 60 to 90 minutes with the client to clarify the primary objective, target audience, key message and distribution constraints. This phase is free and included in every quote — because a vague brief costs more than a strategy session.

Phase 2 — Pre-production

Script, storyboard, art direction, casting, location scouting in Quebec City or the chosen region, technical crew and equipment planning. One hour well invested in pre-production saves five hours in post-production. This is a rule we never break.

Phase 3 — The shoot

Our team arrives prepared. Every shot is anticipated in the storyboard. Unexpected issues are handled with creativity rather than chaotic improvisation. We work with cinema-grade cameras (Sony FX series, ARRI) but with the agility of a small team — which lets us access locations and angles that a heavy production cannot reach.

Phase 4 — Post-production

Editing, color grading, audio mixing, motion graphics if required. Each step is validated by the client before moving to the next. No surprises at final delivery.

Phase 5 — Delivery and adaptation

We deliver files in all required formats: web (MP4 H.264/H.265), broadcast (ProRes), social media (square, vertical 9:16), and master archives. We also provide best practice guides to maximize the distribution of each video.

What types of shooting locations do we use in Quebec City?

Quebec City offers exceptional settings: the unique architecture of Old Quebec, the industrial lofts of Saint-Roch, the natural landscapes of the surrounding region, and our own studio equipped for controlled-environment shoots. For Montreal projects, we rely on a network of local partners to optimize logistics.
