Jonas Hangartner

Independent filmmaker and photographer, canton of Vaud.

I founded Be Motion in 2016 because I believe every business has something unique to show — and that video, when made with care, is one of the best ways to do it.

Since 2016

I started out filming for associations and local communities, between Lavigny and the Morges region. What I already enjoyed was understanding what drives a group of people, and finding how to translate that into images. Today it’s the same thing, with businesses.

Approach

What interests me isn’t just the final result — it’s what’s behind it: the story of a family business, the expertise of a craftsperson, the culture of a team, the logic of a site or a construction project. Video is the means. What it tells is what matters.

How I work

I work alone on most projects, with trusted collaborators when the project calls for it. Either way, you always have the same person — from the first conversation to the final delivery. It’s a way of working that suits me, and one that, over time, builds something more solid than a simple service.

Based in Lavigny, I work mainly in the canton of Vaud, between Nyon, Morges and Lausanne — and elsewhere in French-speaking Switzerland when the project calls for it.
