Lillet – Winter Campaign
Studio Aylin Jajeh and Lillet filmed the campaign in a Paris apartment. Across two film days and one stills day, Swixer handled the French crew, equipment, access and production logistics.

Planning a production in France
Once the brief, dates, locations and travelling team are clear, we bring crewing, suppliers, access and logistics into one workable production plan. We identify the decisions that need to be made early, keep provisional elements flexible and give the visiting producer a clear view of costs, responsibilities and lead times.
Paris or another base
Paris has a deep crew and supplier base, but it does not have to be the centre of every French production. If most of the filming is elsewhere, we can build the setup around that region or combine regional support with a central production team. The base follows the locations and schedule.
Local crew and equipment
Swixer can provide local producers, production managers, camera, sound, lighting, art, hair and make-up, runners and drivers. Equipment and specialist suppliers are booked according to the locations, technical requirements and scale of the shoot.
Permits and location access
Filming permissions are handled by the municipality, location owner or authority responsible for the site. In Paris, a small public-space shoot follows a different route from a production that occupies public space, affects traffic or brings a larger technical setup. Other cities and managed locations have their own processes. We confirm the relevant contact, documents and lead time for each location.
Travelling between regions
When filming spans more than one part of France, we plan whether the core crew and equipment should travel or whether local elements should join in each region. Transfers, freight, crew hours and regional availability are accounted for in the schedule and budget before bookings are made.
Working with a visiting production
Swixer can lead the French production from prep through wrap or work alongside the visiting producer and key crew. Responsibilities are agreed early, giving the local and travelling teams a clear line of communication throughout prep and filming.
Send us the brief, dates, travelling party, locations under consideration and the support you need. We can come back with a practical first view of the French setup.
Questions about filming in France
Can Swixer manage a complete production in France?
Yes. We can manage the French production from prep through wrap, including crew, locations, permits, equipment, transport and shoot-day coordination.
Can you provide crew and equipment outside Paris?
Yes. We source the crew and equipment around the confirmed locations and can combine regional resources with a central production team when that is the right setup for the shoot.
Do we need a filming permit in France?
It depends on the location, municipality and impact of the shoot. Public-space use, parking, traffic control, drones and protected or privately managed sites can involve separate approvals. We check the requirements for each confirmed location.
When should filming permissions be started?
As soon as the locations and production footprint are sufficiently defined. Lead times vary by city and location, especially where parking, traffic, drones or protected sites are involved.
Can Swixer coordinate the French part of a multi-country production?
Yes. We can connect the French crew, permits, equipment and logistics with the wider production schedule and the teams working in the other countries.
