B-Roll Hunter: a shot for every line of your script

Built for Le Signal Nippon, B-Roll Hunter turns a documentary script into a footage research plan, and keeps track of the rights to every shot.

How it works

  1. Import your script as .txt or .docx.
  2. Each passage becomes a visual brief, quoted word for word.
  3. Search in Japanese and English, and log every source with its rights.
  4. If no real footage exists, prepare an AI reconstruction, labeled and ready to disclose.

AI is the last resort: never in place of an archive, never to show a real person.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Nicolas is someone you want to work with. He is not only a translation expert, but also someone who develops a true interest in the fields he works on, and who wants to understand in depth what is at stake to deliver the best services. He adds to translation an interpretation of cultural gaps that makes conversations with him fascinating. He is also fun, direct and very honest. Highly recommended!

Thibaud CoudriouGeneral Manager, Red Bull Athlete Performance Center Los Angeles

Uplause was seeking to offer interactive games on the stadium big screen of the Yomiuri Giants, a very popular Japanese baseball team. Using Coreido as our exclusive interpreter helped us get the deal, which was a big win for a foreign company.

Sacha RevetVice President, Uplause Ltd.

Nicolas was a great help while we were filming a report in Japan for the program Enquête exclusive. He has an exceptional knowledge of the country and guided us wonderfully through its history and its iconic places. I warmly recommend him.

Julie Mamou-ManiProducer, report for Enquête exclusive (M6)Translated from French

I have been working with Nicolas almost since the beginning of DotEmu back in 2008. Every year, Nicolas helped me tremendously to establish business relationships with key Japanese video game companies such as Square Enix, Irem or Success. I would strongly recommend Nicolas, especially for live interpreting in C-level business meetings.

Xavier LiardCEO, Playdigious

Coreido saved us many times with hard deadlines, for Japanese to English and French legal translations! I highly recommend working with them.

Antoine Briant-NaitoToei Animation Europe

His complete dual knowledge and expertise in French and Japanese made him a tremendous asset to the company. His deep understanding of Japanese culture and his professionalism were of great help in launching Criteo's business in Japan.

Alexandra ChiaramontiGlobal Sales, Criteo

For several years I have directed the Tour de France Saitama Criterium in Japan, and I am lucky to have Nicolas at my side. Much of the operation's success comes from the high quality of his work.
