High Five: A Visual Feast of Highlights from Swixer
At Swixer, we service all types of productions, large and small, and appreciate the experience each project gives us. Here we have selected some example productions ranging from a nature documentary airing on Apple TV+ to a promo video for a pop-up store to a reveal film for Toyota. It’s a nice mix of productions that shows our range. The Swixer team has several years of experience and we are used to working with everything from small corporate shoots to high-end documentaries and global campaigns in several countries. We know the value of working with a trustworthy and experienced local crew when filming far away from home, and that’s why we’ve built up a network of the most talented and reliable people in the industry. The intersection of talent, local insight and industry knowledge is the core strength of our work and what we are most proud of at Swixer...

Apple TV+ - 'Prehistoric Planet'

Prehistoric Planet is a cutting-edge nature documentary series directed by Jon Favreau and with Sir David Attenborough as narrator and guide. Combining high resolution nature cinematography and CGI animation, viewers can - for the first time - see how dinosaurs actually (according to research) lived 66 million years ago. The complex episode we helped out on was shot in northern Sweden where the team chased down the most perfect icy conditions. For this, we provided the producer, production manager, production assistants, DOP, engineers, chef, accommodation, transportation, camera equipment, icebreaker boat, hovercraft and a helicopter.
Engelbert Strauss - Pop-up Store in Katowicach
Studio: Joerg Zuber Studio
Production Service: Swixer Poland
Iwona Blecharczyk, together with the winner of the Farmers Cup, Grzegorz and the star of e-sports Pasha Biceps, sets off on an exploratory journey around Katowice and shows the most interesting products available in the store. This was a very fun concept to be a part of, including a highly skilled drone team who specialised in flying indoors. Although a complex and extensive event spread over a number of days, this project was an exciting challenge for us, and the client expected us to support them on many levels, sometimes coming up with new ideas at the last minute. We had to bring some of the equipment and technical crew from other regions of Poland as Katowice did not have the necessary facilities. We are glad that everything went very well and the store opening was such a success for our client. For this project we provided the producer, DOP, sound mixer, translator, focus puller, drone team, equipment and accommodation.
FIFA+ - 'The Debut'
