Imaginastudio

Imaginastudio is a Swiss audiovisual production studio and creative agency based in Lausanne. Founded in 2007, it connects cinematic storytelling with commercial communication, producing advertising, brand content, institutional films, animation and independent cinema. Its approach brings the narrative discipline and visual craft of filmmaking to projects developed for brands, public institutions and academic organisations.

The studio works across the production process, from creative strategy and script development to filming, post-production and delivery. Early development encompasses brainstorming, narrative structure, storyboards and art direction. Live-action production includes directing, casting, location scouting, cinematography, lighting and technical crew management, allowing projects to progress from an initial concept through the practical requirements of a shoot.

Production across formats

Imaginastudio combines live-action filmmaking with 2D and 3D motion design. Its post-production capabilities cover editing, visual effects, colour grading, sound design and mixing. Delivery services include broadcast, digital and social formats, alongside subtitling, multilingual localisation, cultural adaptation and digital cinema package mastering. Distribution planning forms part of its broader approach to preparing work for different audiences and channels.

Commercial work spans consumer goods, luxury watchmaking, food and beverage, transport and other institutional markets. The studio's portfolio includes campaigns for Nespresso, Logitech, Rimowa, Zenith Defy, Loterie Romande and Andros. It also produces science communication and institutional films for the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and the University of Lausanne, translating research and organisational subjects into audiovisual narratives.

Independent film

Alongside commissioned communication, Imaginastudio produces and co-produces independent short films. Its work includes Basile Vuillemin's Les Silencieux, Loïc Hobi's The Life Underground, Anne Thorens' Diagonale and Victor Jaquier's animated short Le Vigneron et la Mort. This combination of commercial production and cultural filmmaking is central to the studio's identity, connecting its work for clients with an ongoing involvement in Swiss independent cinema.
