Corporate Film Crew Hire for FDJ UNITED: Behind the Scenes in Wimbledon

Earlier this month, our crew was back on the ground in London — this time in Wimbledon — supporting a returning client, FDJ UNITED, for a set of internal interviews exploring workplace inclusion and neurodiversity.

Working on behalf of creative agency WordAppeal (Paris), our role was to provide a full film crew hire package, delivering a high-spec shoot with zero post required on our side.


The result?

“Great work once again – a big thank you for your professionalism on this project. We’ve already started post-production and I’ll share the final film with you soon.” — William Rouzé, Video Projects Lead, WordAppeal (Paris)


The Setup

The shoot included:

  • Two double-camera interviews with high-contrast lighting and stylised background blur
  • One direct-to-camera interview with contextual workplace B-roll
  • On-site producing and interview support led by Meg, working from detailed guides provided by the client

What We Delivered

As a film crew-for-hire partner, we provided:

  • Pre-production logistics including location access, parking, call sheets, and crew scheduling
  • A tight creative setup aligned to previous FDJ UNITED brand references
  • Rapid footage handoff post-shoot for immediate editing by the client’s in-house team
  • Seamless communication with stakeholders across the UK and France

Why It Matters

Not every shoot is flashy. But what this kind of work shows is trust, reliability, and repeatability — the ability to walk into a corporate space, deliver high-end visuals, and collaborate closely with international creative teams.

These are the kinds of jobs that fuel the industry behind the scenes — and they’re exactly what we’re built for.

As out second production with FDJ it’s safe to say we’re doing a pretty good job!
