High-level gastronomy, coastal tourism and a large metropolis an hour away: a small town with unusual clients.
Who orders video here
Six client categories.
Restaurants and bistros.
Hotels and accommodation.
Food producers and artisans.
Cellars and specialist shops.
Tourism operators.
And schools and training centres.
What they order
Six frequent formats.
A dish or menu video.
A venue presentation.
Seasonal content.
A recruitment video.
A producer testimonial.
And a series of short formats.
The culinary requirement
Seven expected technical points.
Light that shows texture without hard reflections.
A colour faithful to what is served.
A macro shot on the cut.
A background that does not compete with the plate.
A real gesture of plating or serving.
No retouching that transforms the product.
And the chef's approval before release.
What changes with a foreign audience
Six useful adaptations.
Subtitles in several languages.
Simple vocabulary for dish names.
A brief explanation of local products.
A short duration, suited to social media.
A shot that places the venue.
And practical information visible at the end.
How to invoice those versions
Six rules.
Treat each language as a priced option.
Distinguish subtitling from voice-over.

Stronger competition on the big contracts.
Travel to be invoiced separately.
An interest in specialising.
And clients who come here to film for the setting.
How to start
Six concrete actions.
Choose a speciality and name it.
Build two examples of successful dishes.
Offer a first short format at a firm price.
Come at quiet hours, never during service.
Ask for a written review after delivery.
And follow up before every menu change.
What a city between sea and mountains orders
| The buyer | Their typical order | Their window |
|---|---|---|
| A coastal accommodation | The place and the journey | Spring, before the crowds |
| A cycling or outdoor brand | Use on the road | The dry months |
| A town-centre restaurant | The plate and the room | Off-service |
What makes a cycling shoot valuable
The terrain. Renowned roads and varied climbs can be filmed in a day, which yields shots a brand cannot find in a flat city, and justifies a higher quote.
What seasonal tourism forces you to anticipate
The best venues are booked months ahead, including for a shoot. A request sent in June for August arrives too late, while in February the same place says yes.
What the platform brings
On UGC MATCH, joining is free and there is no subscription: you declare your languages, you are visible by category and country, and the order keeps a record of the brief and the delivery. The brand pays at ordering, the funds are not released straight away, and payment goes out on approval. The platform retains 10% of the price on the creator side, who therefore keeps 90%, and charges the brand a 6% service fee, with a minimum of 1.50 EUR.
One last marker: in this town, the expected quality is the kitchens'. A badly filmed dish is noticed faster than an average edit.
